Beyond the Veil —

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers! Someone once said it takes 12 hours to shop for the Thanksgiving meal and prepare it, but only 20 minutes to scarf it all down. Then we sit around in a food coma, and take 4 hours to clean up. This would explain my bloggerly absence this week, especially if you factor in ...1 day ago -

Well, it’s really frustrating not to be able to copy the image into WordPress, but — I have “completed” my third novel, second draft. It has huge holes in it, but there is a beginning, a middle, and an end, and — more importantly for me — I did it in a month. Somebody asked me if I had written about ...3 days ago -

IN NOVEMBER 2007, the WGC held a rally in solidarity to support the members of the Writers Guild of America, who had just gone on strike mainly over the issue of payments and residuals in new media.

This Itch of Writing —

A lot of talking about writing ponders and circles around the mysteries of inspiration: the genie , the zone, the muse, the cloud of unknowing, the necessity for darkness or music, the fetishism about notebooks or mascots, the alcohol, the drugs, the digging in the garden, the long country walks, the endless ...1 week ago -

Sheryl Gwyther - author —

Have you ever succumbed to the temptation of not trusting verbs to do their job? Like if your hero ‘ went slowly down the road ‘ when he could’ve trudged, ambled, plodded, tramped, staggered, crawled … you get the picture?

Witchy Chicks —

When I first started to write professionally, it was in the magazine business. It either amuses or horrifies other romance authors (and readers) to learn that I formerly wrote articles about how to hunt and fish to a national, mostly male , audience.
