Travels & Sites

With the holidays fast approaching, my appearances are coming to a close. I have several booked for next year before Book IV comes out, but my last road trip will be to Vriginia - Williamsburg and Virginia Beach. The Waldenbooks in Virginia Beach is closing in January and I wanted to visit one last time! The manager, Trish, and her crew have been a delight and will be sorely missed!!!

In other news, the online writer's group, The Writer's Meow, continues to grow and will be expanding soon! One of the members has set up an outside forum/chat site that everyone will be able to access! There will be writer tips and discussions, and you'll be able to chat live with me! Details and the website to follow this week, so keep watching!

And my husband was reading a passage out of Matthew yesterday that spoke of not letting yesterdays rob one of tomorrow. Good advice for everyone!

Breakinig Writer's Block

Suffering from writer's block? Need to be inspired?

Over at the Writer's Meow, we opened up forum discussions and came up with some pretty good ideas:

Listen to music
Read a favorite book or series
Expose yourself to something totally new
Just write whatever you're feeling at the time
Reread what you've already written
Take breaks and write something new


In the world of The Circle of Friends ...

I will be a guest at our local art gallery's open night in Janaury. I don't make many appearances in my hometown, so this will be an honor!

Another website accepted one of my articles, Creativity Portal.

And people in six different countries are now reading the series - thanks guys!!
