  It’s the day after Thanksgiving, a time to reflect on the year before it ends.  And it’s the traditional kick off shopping day for Christmas in the US.  Bazaars are all over the place and I’m noticing them more this year because last year the family made the decision to downsize on gift giving.   At the time ...

  jeannieruesch.com — Authority: 420
  Writers read. You’ve probably heard the advice many times — you can’t expect to write well in a genre you don’t read. But I’m going to add a caveat. Great writer’s don’t just read . They analyze. I recently attended  Donald Maass ’s  Fire in Fiction workshop, and among other things, he ...

  I write urban fantasy and it’s also a genre I love to read, but there are times when I want a change of pace–especially when I’ve been struggling to get a book finished and I can’t be distracted by shiny new ideas–so I turn to a different genre for my before-bed reading time (which I try not to give up even ...

  jeannieruesch.com — Authority: 420
  Recently my chapter’s newsletter posed a question to its members, “What part of being a writer are you most thankful for?” and one of the most common responses was “The people you meet.” I couldn’t agree more.

  jeannieruesch.com — Authority: 420
  I’m blogging today about becoming a finalist in the EPIC Awards.  Now wait, don’t go yet.  This is not “all about me”—I promise.  Most people that I’ve met in the last half of my adulthood would never describe me as “shy,” but as a youngster, I was—horribly.  That’s one reason I turned to ...

She’d eat and eat and eat lasagna until she was sick ...

  Taste of Kiwi — Authority: 428
  As a writer I’m always interested in craft books, and I’ve been meaning to pick up this particular one for a long time. The title—First Draft in 30 Days is a bit misleading because if you follow the methods prescribed you’ll end up with a very detailed outline rather than a first draft. Ms. Wiesner [...]

I get my inspirations for just about everywhere, be it music, a bit of overheard conversation, the scenery around me, even dreams…. it’s amazing how much the world itself speaks to a writer’s brain.
