It's All About Me(me)

By
Okay, so does ask me what the second (me) stands for...Maybe like a song "meee....meee....meee"?  lol  

Dana (@raineerose on Twitter) from the Daily Dose, a great supporter, and blogger tagged me for this meme.  So now all of you get to know me better.... *bites nails* lol

If you could go back in time and relive one moment, what would it be?
Wow, for me that’s a tough question.  One moment?  I’d say my wedding, but then I wouldn’t be as in love with my husband as I am now.  I would, however, have been more fussy when it came to alternations on my wedding dress...

If you could go back in time and change one thing, what would it be?
This really is a personal questionnaire...but that one thing would be going back to when I was a teenager and decided I didn’t want to live by my parents’s rules.  I moved out, and gave my baby sister a necklace (from a friend) to “remember” me by.  Sigh...there, I bared it all.  At the time, I didn’t realize how insensitive something like this was, I was a teenager, my vision blurred by selfish agenda.  As an adult, I realize just how insensitive this was, and really hate how much I had hurt my sister at the time.  If I could go back and change this one moment, I would.

What movie/TV character do you most resemble in personality?
Listen, I’m unique lol...but if I’m going to play along Carrie Huffernan from King of Queens.  I can be tough, and untrusting, but it's only because I have an underlying vulnerable streak that doesn't want to be taken advantage of.  At the end of the day, I want nothing more than a beer, great take-in for dinner, and snuggling with my hubby on the couch.





If you could push one person off a cliff and get away with it, who would it be?
Okay, if we’re talking figuratively, and not really talking about bodily harm, I’d have to say my older sister, but not to hurt her, just to let her realize how much impact she has on me.

As far as someone to literally hurt them?  As if I’d say on a public website LMAO!

Name one habit you want to change in yourself.
Procrastination.  It’s not only when it comes to writing, or editing, it affects my getting to the gym, my housework, etc, etc....If I can do it tomorrow, then yeah!

Describe yourself in one word.
Deep.

Describe the person who named you in this meme in one word.
Supportive.

Why do you blog? Answer in one sentence.
To reach out to other writers not only to share what I’ve learned along the way, but also to grow from them.

Name at least 3 people to send this meme to, and then inform them.

    Oh, I'm an "everything" procrastinator too. I should be on the treadmill right now, but... :)

    Thanks for answering the questions! I love your honesty--and also that you chose Carrie Huffernan; she's a great character.

When Family Doesn't Support Your Writing

By
If you can empathize with the title of this post, then you're not alone.  So many writers, myself included, can honestly say they have family members who don't support their writing.  Some may go so far as to tell you they don't even want to hear about what you're working on, what you've done, what your goals are.  That hurts. But think about it this way, in some ways is writing any different that an other life decisions your family may not agree with?  I'm sure, if you're like me, you get very defensive when it comes to your writing.  In fact, I'm not going to deny that it places an iron wedge in the relationships.  After all, if your focus in life is your writing, and they ask so what have you been up to ...what are you supposed to do lie, remain quiet, answer another way even though you're so excited about your current WIP you'd tell a stranger?  Ticking clocks are heard in the background while you decide.

A Big Decision...

By

For those of you who know me, and follow me on Twitter, you may be aware that I’ve been debating whether to pursue publishing traditionally, or take the plunge and self-publish.  With all the “buzz” on the internet, and after great consideration, I have decided to go ahead and self-publish. I had asked myself, does this mean I’m giving up ?  And, the answer is irrevocably no.  Self-publishing used to carry a type of stigma that somehow labelled the work as adhering to a lower standard, but things have changed.  Authors are taking pride in their work like never before, and just because of the increasing ease to self-publishing, they’re not allowing this to affect the quality. In making my decision, I also considered the fact that just because a book is published traditionally it doesn’t mean that it will meet with success.  Many self-published books have received awards, honourable mentions, and have met with even more-than-modest sales.  In fact, there’s ...

Write What You Love

By
We've all heard the advice, write what you know.  There's been a lot of debate over this piece of advice.  Some see it as valid direction while others argue that there wouldn't be any books if we just wrote what we know.  For example, how many mystery novels are written by real-life detectives?  And, I guess that advice is null when it comes to fantasy genres, and historical fictional works.  No fairy from Neverland wrote a book, and no one from over a hundred years ago can write a book currently.   But, this doesn't mean that we can get sloppy, in fact more work is involved, and this is why writing what we love supersedes all, in my opinion.  How else would we get motivated, and stay motivated to see a novel through to the end? In fact isn't it love for what we’re writing what pushes us through to the conclusion even when we may find the interest in our book weaning, or through the rough middles?  Isn't it the love for what we're writing that f...
