I am really enjoying the creative opportunities that this blog is providing. I'm using the blog as a practice of discipline. I'm using it to reignite my creative embers before they turn to ash and I'm challenging myself to learn new skills to stay relevant as the world expands beyond what I currently know. But the best part is becoming a part of a new community made up of an eclectic group of imaginative neighbors who have inspired me to leap, tumble, sky-walk and spin with the abandon of a six-year old. I recently stopped by Summer Pierre's home at www.summerpierre.com where I found the post to the left. It reminded me that the blank page is not the only place a writer meets the magic of unlimited possibility. It also reminded me that I would sell my little six-year old soul for a Black Cow, two scoops of mint chocolate chip ice-cream in a frosty mug of Hire's root beer.

Katie, there were two resources that helped me a lot. One was Margie Lawson's Deep Edits. She will sell you her lecture notes online for $20 and they will fill a 3" binder. I think her web site is MargieLawson.com. I think she also does online classes.
Another, is Writing the Breakout Novel by Don Maass. I found the workbook more helpful than the book as it gives you worksheets to complete.
Keep in touch, I'd be glad to pass on any words of wisdom I've received. People were so kind to help me when I got started. I don't believe people's paths are ever crossed by accident.
Have a wonderful week-end.
