I don’t know about you, my friends, but I lacked motivation and inspiration to write during the last year and a half. I had the time (plenty of it), and yet my creativity seemed burnt out. Then an unexpected trip to a local park a few weeks ago inspired me to write two new chaptersContinue reading “Nov-Ember Writing Spark: A Challenge to Fire Up Your Writing Goals”

Writing Challenge Starting November 1st
Queen Jennifer and Me: A Personal Reaction to SIX THE MUSICAL
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Katherine Howard, and Catherine Parr – all Queens whose lives have been retold and reshaped to suit history’s story. Were my sister Jen (a history buff and lifelong feminist) alive today, she’d be none too pleased with how little I knew of these Queens beforeContinue reading “Queen Jennifer and Me: A Personal Reaction to SIX THE MUSICAL”

Unshelve the Writer: Week 2 Check-In
Week Two – Character & Dialogue Fun fact – I love reality TV baking challenges! I can’t bake to save my life, but am so impressed (and slightly jealous) of those who can. Bakers create stunning artwork with their culinary skills, even when thrown a “twist” in the midst of the challenge. Since this isContinue reading “Unshelve the Writer: Week 2 Check-In”
Week 1 Showcase: Unshelve the Writer
We did it my friends! We completed the initial week of our seven week challenge. I struggled to be honest. Wrote bits and pieces, volleying between journaling and poetry until I settled back into the comforting embrace of fantasy. Whether you wrote 500, 1000, or 100 words, be proud of what you accomplished! (If youContinue reading “Week 1 Showcase: Unshelve the Writer”
Unshelve the Writer: Mid-Week One Check-In
We’re midway through week one of the 7-week writing challenge! How’s everyone doing so far? I started off slowly – writing bits and pieces, alternating between journaling and short stories. Had a burst of inspiration this morning (thanks to the photo above from my garden) and am interested to see where it leads. What aboutContinue reading “Unshelve the Writer: Mid-Week One Check-In”
Unshelve the Writer: a 7-Week Writing Challenge
Calling fellow writers! I don’t know about you, but writing during this past year has been quite challenging; my level of motivation near non-existent. I needed a boost of inspiration and thought back to when I created writing/artistic spirit challenges to keep myself motivated (111-Day Artistic Spirit Pledge). “I should do that again,” I decided!Continue reading “Unshelve the Writer: a 7-Week Writing Challenge”
