It seems every time I turn around, I’m learning about some other aspect of writing in which I’m not quite coming up to scratch. On the last manuscript I submitted, I was told the exposition was completely out of control. When I started looking it over, I...

I’ve been MIA for the past month, I know. There have been several interesting things going on since I last blogged. We delivered babies in our most recent EMT class. A local doctor sat on the other side of the mannequin and pretended to be the mother as he tested us...

Writers are a strange breed—seriously, what other group of people do you know out there who celebrate rejection like we do? My online writer’s group has a rejection contest running right now, in fact. I can’t remember who started it, but whomever gets the...

It’s snowing at my house. No, we’re not experiencing unseasonably cold weather, and other than the occasional bird feather around my coop the ground isn’t turning white. I’ve been using the snowflake method of plot planning this week. I can hear you, “The snowflake...

OK, so Connie Hall over at LDSwriterblogck tagged me a few weeks back and I’ve been way to distracted with other things to follow through, so I decided it was time I got around to it. What were you doing ten years ago? Taking summer classes at Southern Utah...
