Yep, it’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking about gift giving, present buying and major shopping excursions to find the writer on your list an amazingly perfect goodie to help them in their quest for the perfect words. Written in the Thursday Thirteen format, thirteen amazing Christmas Gifts (and if you are [...]

I don’t normally participate in the Thursday Thirteen over at this blog, though I have in the past a handful of times (read this is my 5th one). But I will if it goes along with whatever topic I am interested in at the moment.
I just put together a rather nice handwritten collection of writing [...]

Being crazy doesn’t count. I posted a similar blog post on my personal blog. It started today, so this is what inspired this TT.
1. I’m always up for a challenge and writing 50,000 words in one month is not much of one. (I am a freelance writer, remember?) However writing all 50,000 words on the [...]

NaNoWriMo - Still 3 days and counting…

I participate in Mad Click Monday on my other blog, but have yet to implement it over here. I decided I wanted to add it to this blog, because I have a different set of readers and I am hoping to spread the word. Plus I absolutely love reading [...]

Apparently people love to get new blogs from people who refer them. I decided it would be cool to show off a few of my favorite writer’s blogs to get them some traffic, while continuing to enjoy them myself. These are not all my favorites. Only 13 of them.
(this TT was inspired by my previous [...]

These are not blogs. Period. That will come next month. (oh and perhaps they have blogs, but these link directly to the actual site and not the blog.)

There are always lists of things that writer’s can use that can be turned into Thursday Thirteens.
I love the idea of article writing by making lists, and sharing with my writing community.
I decided it wouldn’t be too hard to stay on the writing topic while still enjoying a meme or two.
Some of my own favorite [...]

I’ve never done this one before, but I sure have seen it a lot.
ABC memeI would link to the dozens of blogs I’ve seen this on, but I don’t have the energy to trace this one to its origin. That is the cool thing about memes, I guess. Someone writes them originally, but eventually, they [...]

1. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times.
While I could name dozens, The Notebook and Sweet Home Alabama are the two I’ve seen probably over 20 times each.
2. Name a movie that you’ve seen multiple times in the theater.
I’m not sure I can. I usually buy stuff on DVD if I [...]

I know, I know. These silly quizzes are pointless. But I found this one amusing to say the least.
 

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don’t just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come [...]
