Lisa's Blog 1 Comment

Hey there – Summer is almost here, and it’s the perfect time to write! Short stories are one of the best ways to strengthen your craft as a writer because with the shorter length it’s easier to locate and define where you got off-track, it’s also a great way to learn to make every word count and cut the dead wood that might be bogging down your pacing! I’ll be teaching an online class in Flash Fiction starting Monday June 6th, and you’re all invited. I close the class at… Read More

Lisa's Blog Uncategorized 18 Comments

  Hi everyone! Sorry I missed blogging last week… I did get my edits turned in for Night Walker and I’m anxiously awaiting my second round edits. This past week my publisher hosted two webinars to help educate their authors on marketing and branding our new books. I’m really excited about the future. To have a publisher that cares enough about each book they’re about to release that they pay to educate their authors, is a blessing! Instead of worrying and feeling like I’m tap dancing on ice, I feel… Read More

Hi everyone –   This past week was interesting for me. On Monday I was finally able to share that Moonlight didn’t make the 4th round of the Writing with the Stars contest. I found out a couple of weeks ago, but we weren’t allowed to say anything until the next round of voting began.   I thought about not saying anything, but this blog is really a journey, and I’ve shared all my ups and downs with all of you along the way. In fact, I never would have… Read More

Hi everyone! I had a crazy busy weekend, and then went to the Del mar Fair and got quite a lobster burn!  Youch! Anyway, with the passing of Michael Jackson I watched lots of tributes and we watched our DVD of his music videos, and I wasn’t really feeling the Comedy Tonight topic, so I ended up thinking…  Flash Fiction…  Murder in 250 words or less!!! You’re not really surprised are you? Anyway, adding in the topic of a bread basket, and a music icon, I did a bunch of research and… Read More

Happy Easter to those who celebrate!  I hope you had a great weekend!   I spent the entire weekend buried in edits on Night Walker.  It’s been a crazy week, but I think I’m very close to having an agent who thinks she can sell Night Walker!  Woot!  I had to rework the beginning which ended up changing other things along the way, but I’m almost finished…  Shew!   Huge thanks to Ken for proofreading for me all weekend!  *HUGS*   So with all the revising, I barely had time… Read More
