Saturday Fun Pic -- Snoozin' in the sun




Sleeping and snuggling is what retired racing greyhounds do best. And for Andy and Gracie, if there's a patch of sun involved and a pair of snoozing buddies, all the better. : )

Some of what's coming in the two weeks:
  • How to keep a story believable
  • Need inspiration? Look into your characters' pasts and air that dirty laundry. ; )
  • Keep the action going
  • Real dialogue for realistic characters
  • Say no to "info dump"
  • Start with a hook, end with a cliffhanger
  • Let every scene advance the plot
  • Never stop learning

And as always, if you have any questions, just email me or respond to the blog.

Have a great weekend!

Lisa

After a weekend at Disney World, that looks like exactly what I want to do. Never mind the quarter inch of manuscript markup that I still need to do. That's what tonight is for.

Ooo, honey after a weekend at Disney, you DESERVE a nap. I'm downstairs at the dining room table writing Chapter 10 and the dogs are snoozing in the sun in the exact same place as in the pic. I'm about to tell them to move over and join them. ; )

Please can you send the sunshine over here? It's not nice weather at all!

Oops forgot to mention I'm in England, land of the rain.

Well, I'd send some sunshine, if we had any. We're supposed to get snow flurries and 25 mph winds tomorrow with lows in the 20s. Highly unusual for November in North Carolina. But on the upside, I get to break out my scarf collection. ; )
