Write a Romance Novel? Easy Peasy.

A friend, who writes romance novels, is getting published, and another, I believe will join that group soon.

So, I am focused on critiquing and reading romance novels for a writer's group, wishing for them every success.

Finding this video puts all in perspective. Maybe I, too, could write romance.

Chapters 1 - 3



Chapters 4-10



Chapters 11-15



Chapters 16-20



I'm excited now. Romance, here I come.

Ah, it should be easy peasy after that. What do you think?

The The Impotence of Proof Reading

Ah yes, the endless proofreading of one's writing. Some times it is difficult to catch the little mistakes that can become big mistakes as this comedian shows in his video:



Bon Mot!

Leelu My Cat Plays Paw and Pat

I present my foray into children's poetry

Leelu, my cat
Walks into my flat
Her tail in the air
As she smells here and there.
I smile and tap
Upon my lap.

She jumps
And bumps
And nuzzles my nose
To tell me
That she's glad she chose
To play
With me
This day.


Leelu, my cat
Says meow in our chats

She eats
Cat treats

And plays Paw and Pat


It’s a game we play.
And we like to say
That We made
It up so we show
How it’s played.

Others, I know
Play it too,
So it must be
They copied
My sweet Leelu.....

Let me know if you want to see the rest of the poem :)

LYNN E. HAZEN AND SUSAN TAYLOR BROWN'S SOCIAL MEDIA ADVENTURE

Two outstanding authors entertained the SCBWI Bay Area group with some insightful tips on websites and blogging to the novices and published authors. Discovered the hows and whys of Twitter and a plethora of other sites. Networked among those in the same boat of confusion. I have that dazed look of a soaked sponge ...not the alertness of Sponge Bob but the glazed over version. Fortunately, they provided oodles of handouts with everything I ever wanted to know and more. This was my first visit to an SCBWI event. Well worth the jog. As a result, hope to improve my blog.
