A Letter from Camp – April 2021
Dear Readers, Here I am at Writing Camp. No, it’s not the same camp I’ve been to in other years. As I’m sure you’ve heard, I stopped attending Camp NaNo for certain reasons. Now I’m at The King’s Daughters’ Writing Camp. And it’s oh, so much better and so much more fun! Yes, it does […]
Follow the Idea – Home Fires of the Great War
Some people have asked me if my stories ever evolve into something different than I was expecting. Or if my stories ever change as I’m writing them. Sometimes they do slightly, other times quite a bit. Did you want to see what the changes for one story look like? I give you Home Fires of […]

The Journey of a Story – Part 4
Formatting/Cover/Proof My story is written, it’s been edited to a certain extent, now what? Now I get the fun part. I mean I love writing and seeing the story come together and finding out what happens to my characters, but I also enjoy formatting, designing the cover, putting it all together and getting my proof […]
The Journey of a Story – Part 3
Editing How do I get my stories edited? And how did Jim Wood get edited? I have found that my editing is a bit different than many other writers. But it works really well for me. Yes, I’ve read the books that say:“Never go back and edit as you write.”“Write the entire story first and […]
