Busy Week!

This was a busy week: 2/14 Arizona's Centennial, 2/14 Valentine's Day, 2/18 Phoenix Writer's Club monthly meeting where I met fellow Erotica Writer, Lark LaTroy (yes!) and last but not least 2/19 Scottsdale Society of Women Writers workshop...pheww.

Amongst other things, I finished one flash fiction story and started a second one.  As reading is concerned I finally finished Predator and began reading The Last Precint by Patricia Cornwell and The 6th Target by James Patterson, yes at the same time ...never thought I'd say that, but yes.

I've also been assisting the City of Chandler with compiling stories of centennerians, proofreading, editing, summarizing interviews, an interesting undertaking.

Friends, that'll be all for this week...signing off.  Be well!

Writing is HARD work. There I said it!

Recently, I had a conversation with a fellow writer about different writing styles. We talked about how some writers can simply sit down on a computer and write on command; I cannot. My pre-writing process can take me ten, fifteen, twenty minutes or more and it usually involves me ‘getting in to character’; I need to connect with the hero and heroine before I can delve into their lives. It is then when I’m emotionally attached that ideas begin to form I’m able to capture the thoughts and the scenes and the story begins to unfold. I can tell you that when I begin to write a story, I too experience the same nervousness that a lot of writers feel. Will anyone read my stuff? Will anyone care about what I have to say? This is the fretful process of a writer, yet, we, I, push forward and write with excitement, optimism, and a lot of discipline. On an amusing note (or maybe not so) one thing that we, writers, often encounter is that non-writers tend to think that writing is easy.
