Spreading more link love
Thanks to everyone who stopped by yesterday to make Love & Laughter’s first guest blogger feel welcome. With 60-plus page views, I’d call Keri Ford’s visit a success. (Keri, please don’t tell me you were the visitor 50 of those 60 times.) I’ve been adding to the list of...
Desert Dreamin’
My first Desert Dreams Conference won’t be my last. It’s over now, and I just settled into my favorite spot at the Starbucks in Camp Verde (near the outlet, naturally). The plan is to sneak in a little writing time before I crash. Am I nuts? Why not skip the...
It’s almost here!
Golden Heart finalist calls will come out in less than three months. But that’s not the “it” I’m talking about (yet). It’s almost time for the annual Ruby Slippered Sisterhood Winter Writing Festival. The festival starts on Jan. 11 and runs through the end of February — an extra...

A thought on love
After reading my last blog entry, one of my friends from college messaged me with this bit of inspiration about giving characters reasons to love one another: Love isn’t only about the hot sex – it’s about friendship. Cuz when the hot sex goes away (old age, car accident,...
Words of wisdom
I recently discovered the blog of Nathan Bransford — Literary Agent. He’s both witty and wise … and rumor has it that he responds almost immediately to queries, whether he wants to see more or not. I’ve yet to test that myself because I haven’t quite perfected my query...
Inspired again
I love attending my NARWA meetings because I always come back inspired. Today, as a carpool of one, I even got to plot out a couple of scenes in my head. I missed the conversation and companionship on the drive, but the thinking time was great — and it...
