What Made Me Do It?
Today’s RTW is what made us pick up that pen, or laptop, the very first time and write.
I’ve been reading all my life. In High School Junior English class, a free read period, I picked up a romance novel on my teachers bookshelf and was hooked. The next 18 years were spent reading everything and [...]
But How Do You Know…Like Really Know This is the One?
Today’s RTW-At what point do you know when your WIP will turn into something good.
So at what point do I know an idea is viable and not just a bunch of random thoughts floating around in my head? Good question. No really, it is. Because I’m not sure I can pinpoint the exact moment when [...]

Character I’d Twitterstalk
Today’s question for RTW is what fictional character would you Tweet with on Twitter.
I don’t even have to think about this. Sam. I know, big surprise right?
Since I already Twitterstalk Maggie Stiefvater, I guess it’s only fair that Sam would be my choice. See, I adored Shiver. Like tuck-it-into-bed-beside-me adore. And Sam is one of [...]
Wait, I’m Supposed to Read Too?
Uh yeah, that pretty much sums it up right there.
The hardest part of being a writer who has a full time day job, a husband, two younger boys, 2 dogs (one of which is a 2 year old Lab) and 3 cats is that “me” time is at a premium. Usually I use it [...]
Can’t Buy Me Love…But You Can Buy Me A…
So today’s topic for RTW at YA HIGHWAY is what would you buy if you got that elusive stardom we all shudder to think about but secretly covet.
If money were no longer a concern, what would you do?
This is what I’d do.
1.) Pay off my house.
2.) Remodel my house. (Which is kinda silly as [...]
When I Grow Up I Want To Be Like…
Road Trip Wednesday is where YA Highway’s contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. Check out what everyone had to say then add your own link at YA Highway!
This week’s topic: Which author’s career would you most like to emulate?
I had to think about this. Probably too [...]
Always Put Off Today What You Can Do Tomorrow!
No wait. That’s not right.
Except for me it is. I suffer from Procrastinitis. In non-medical terms, it refers to the uncontrollable urge to not do what your supposed to do when your supposed to do it.
It can range from ignoring the pile of laundry that is staring at you from the corner until you [...]
What’s the one spot that totally does it for you?
To read you naughty people! Jeez!
Anyway, this week on Road Trip Wednesday, YA Highway is talking about your favorite places to read.
My answer is it all depends. Mostly on whether or not I have my 2 very-cute-but-rambunctious boys with me. If I’m alone, there’s nothing like a coffee shop slash bookstore to put me [...]
Look into my crystal ball….
Today Roadtrip Wednesday topic is what’s the next big thing.
Man, if I could predict that I wouldn’t have to write books, I could just sell my uber-secret knowledge to desperate writers and be living the high life. Unfortunately, my abilities tend to lean towards finding one lost boot at 7:59 when the boys need to [...]
