Last week, I was invited to Skype into Dr. J.’s writer group. The ferocity of our combined energy caused funnel clouds to appear in my area, but hell, what fun it was! Last week the talented Dr. J. invited me to Skype into her writers group get together. You have...
When you haven’t done something in quite some time, it’s stupid to throw yourself overboard. And that’s where i make a boating pun when this has nothing to do with boating of any kind. Dr. J and I are trying to keep each other in check. We’re trying to make...
I feel like I owe an explanation for my lack of posting, twittering, and so forth. I haven’t been pressured for it or anything, but it’s weighing on me and I wanted to let everyone know that things are about to be back to normal (whatever normal is… I tend...

Why Everyone Should Write Eliza David (@ElizaDWrites) said it best on twitter when she sent out to the world: “I want every woman to pick up a pen & write. A novel, an essay, a blogpost, a poem, a sentence. Your words deserve a voice. #FridayFeeling“ I’d like to add...

Question: What book do you return to in rough times – the times where someone has broken your heart, or let you down, or the world just seems too harsh and cruel? If you’re a member of Audible, then you’ve probably heard about Audible Channels. If you haven’t, take some...

Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby On a serious note, though, it seems that sex is more in the news now than ever… and a lot of it is bad news. People coming forth about molestation and/or rape years (sometimes decades) after the horrific experience. I hurt for the people in...

Laundry Day I have a friend who struggles to write and I feel bad. I do my best to write. I try to write at lunch, which doesn’t always pan out. I try to write in the evening, which again, doesn’t always pan out. The point is, to be writing...

My Personal Social Life Is… Dead? I’m a terrible friend. I’m also terrible at personal social media. I have no need to really shout from the digital rooftops what’s going on in my life. If someone messages me, I chat with them. My personal facebook is setup so that only...

I read Four Simple Life Rules by Mary McCarthy over at SpliceToday.Com and the first thing I thought of was how I do things in my life. I do things that make me happy and if something doesn’t make me happy, I think about how to do it in a...

Prolific A friend of mine found a way to have a New Year Resolution without actually making resolutions. Instead of saying “I’m going to exercise more.” or “I’m going to spend less.” or “I’m going to learn how to do {insert wishful thinking here}.” you choose one word to help...

You’ve heard ‘that’s been done (or said) a million times already’. However, the reason that tropes and clichés work is because they’re clichés and tropes. You just have to find your own unique way of twisting them. Think about it… every sitcom has zingers and one-liners. Look at 2 Broke...

Writer’s Digest has a weekly writer prompt and I thought I would participate. What I Would Tell My Younger Self: You’ve been given one-time access to a time machine to visit your younger self. After a brief pause, you know the when and the where, hop in the machine and...

Writing Erotica Let me tell you, one of the best ways to learn how to write is to write smut. It’s intricate, it’s messy, it’s downright naughty. It’s also a great way to learn what makes a character tick. What will they do to get that thing they want so...

In the interest of Research Shibari (translated means “to tie”) was started as a way to bind prisoners of war ages upon ages ago in Japan. Over time it became a competition and eventually involved into complex art and used as a form of bondage. Shibari is different from your...

Whatever you do, don’t give up Honestly, there are days where I try to write and end up editing. And that’s okay! It means I’m still working towards a goal: finishing a story. The latest in the Ms. Fix-It Series is giving me some issues. I had wanted it written...

Apologies First, I want to apologize for this mini rant. These are my feelings about things that have been told to me by my daughter about her friends and coworkers and strangers. It’s hard enough to live in this world constantly second-guessing yourself, but it makes it so much more...

I’m an introvert that, for the most part, hates people. Now wait, don’t go away! Just give me a minute to explain. People are simple and complicated at the same time and I’ve dealt with a lot of people. Years of being a receptionist in previous day jobs does that...

My thoughts on linking social media accounts First, you think wow, this is great. I can link up Twitter, Facebook, G+ and all these other awesome places. I can tweet or post one place and it’ll be SPREAD ACROSS THE PLATFORMS! WOOHOO!! However, that may not be in your best...

Honestly, I hate the word. I’m a writer, I’m supposed to love words, but ‘cum’ is a word that I loathe. It yanks me out of a story. I would rather read ‘come’ instead. But there are so many other words you can use for reaching orgasm, such as orgasm,...

I am sure you’re thinking of writer’s block, but no, that’s actually not the worst thing to happen to a writer. Writer’s block can be chipped away at by writing down the things randomly going through your mind, going to the gym or for a run/walk, and figuring out where...
