Write what type of story I want. Give it a title I like. Now I am given the dates I must turn in the manuscripts, their titles, subject matter, and sometimes the characters' names. I'm afraid my post tomorrow is almost a continuation of yours. How did we do that?Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-25739590640814647422015-09-11T16:33:26.193-04:002015-09-11T16:33:26.193-04:00Best of luck on your collection, Alison.

I've just wrapped up the publication duties for my short story collection, and I'm getting ready to dive in to my first full-length novel in three years. I know I have a lot of promo ahead of me in the next few months, but I really want to tap back into the pure creative joy of writing again.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-23045421647883401032015-09-11T13:33:54.559-04:002015-09-11T13:33:54.559-04:00Not only do we have to take time out 'just to ...Not only do we have to take time out 'just to write;' we also have to take out time for new experiences so we can get our juices flowing. Seriously, in just two bistro meals here in Paris...with tables right there on the sidewalk, the people who come by or we sit next to are characters for any novel (including the drunk who failed to button up his fly...and the 40-year old couple that couldn't keep their hands off each other). And the clothes both women and men wear! Big stories right there. Anyway, Margo, you have my permission to have an adventure, along with just writing :-) Rolynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504770204968969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-85222099172071089142015-09-11T13:24:30.294-04:002015-09-11T13:24:30.294-04:00Thanks, Diane.
