Funny this article came through my email blast today, regarding naming your characters. Just in time, right when I needed it. (As an aside: “Grayson?” Are you kidding me? I would have never come up with such a name. George, … Continue reading

The one thing I enjoy about the San Francisco Writers Conference are the contests. Yes, I enter, and yes, I’ve had mixed results, but that’s the whole point. How will you know if you’ll win or not unless you try? … Continue reading

I know. I am pitifully behind. That’s because I’m semi-recently returned from the 2013 San Francisco Writers Conference. Thanks to this great conference, my head is *b-u-r-s-t-i-n-g* with ideas. Unfortunately, having been out of town for over a week, the … Continue reading

Another San Francisco Writers Conference has come to an end, and just as with the other SFWC I’ve attended, I’ve learned so much. Honestly, they could hold a month-long conference and there would still be things to learn. One of … Continue reading

OMG. I just realized that in one short week, I’ll be packing to go. Am I ready? Not really, and it’s not just because I realized when my wayward 7 By 7 (code for San Francisco) daughter came home for … Continue reading
