Dear Idella,

So, I was watching THE POSTMAN staring Kevin Costner yesterday, with the guy (after we watched Waterworld). We were having a post apocalyptic movie marathon.

The scene where the boy is holding up the letter for the postman to take with him, his mom looking on, gave me a jolting reminder...hope will (more…)

Dear Idella,

I finished today! The story is told. Revisions are the next item on the menu, but I'm thinking you'll like how this turned out.

So, how is the weather in Destiny?

Dear Idella,

Oh my god! I could finish this book this weekend! I'm on page 366.

I never thought you'd play such a major role. If you don't mind stepping back now, the rest of the book has to be about Logan and Clare.

Thanks!

Dear Idella,

Well, haven't you turned out to be a surprising character. Good for you, missy.

Who I Am...

Tags: life

Dear Idella,

I had a thought today. Who I am is not described best by what 'job' I do. I am described best by what footsteps I leave in the sand.

Life Keeps Changing

Tags: life, changes

Dear Idella,

I have just a moment to update you. Things are changing. I had recent interest in another story I've written from an editor, but FALLING wasn't quite what she was looking for. The good news is she suggested an editor at Random House. I will definitely follow up on the lead, but (more…)

Time Management

Tags: time management, a writer's life, being a happy writer

Dear Idella,

Being a happy writer has been on my mind a lot lately. What does that mean and what does it look like?

So, one of the major components of being a happy writer is successful time management. And, how does a happy writer manage time? That unwieldy beast with a mind (more…)

Happy Writers

February 24, 2010

Tags: writing, publishing world, author thoughts

Dear Idella,

Here's one for you. What makes a happy writer? I always thought being happy with my writing had to do with how many words I wrote in a day, how quickly I got a project done. The truth is, happiness isn't about the quantity of work produced, but the quality of the (more…)

Moving On

Tags: movies, rewriting, big girl panties

Dear Idella,

Today, I put on my big girl panties and got four hours of rewriting done. I think I can actually work on 'the project' from 6am to 10am, four...no three days a week. So now that the yang is off to work, thought I'd clean house to Harry Potter, starting with THE SORCERER'S STONE. JK Rowling is brilliant.
