The thread that’s run through most of my posts on every writing topic has been the damaging effects of being too judgmental about our writing. Thank you!įor those of you who, like me, are worrywarts, I’m fine-and busy, working on a new book (the medieval murder mystery) and getting used to and loving our new puppy, Tess. A special shoutout here to Christie V Powell, who has commented often and always helpfully. Please know that the prompts are for you to use-you don’t have to worry about copyright issues if you do.įor now, I’m going to leave the blog open on this website for you to continue conversations, and I’ll keep an eye on what comes in. And I’ve invented enough prompts to set off a lifetime of writing. By now, though, I think I’ve touched on every major writing issue more than once, which you can search for right here. I’ve loved writing to you here for over thirteen years, and I’ve been delighted to watch the community that’s developed and how helpful you’ve been to each other. Second off, I’ve decided to stop posting to the blog for a while at least, leaving open the possibility of starting up again. And there will be a couple of events coming up for my new book, Sparrows in the Wind, which will be released on October 25th, so please keep an eye on the page. Details are here on the website on the Appearances page.

First off, I’m going to be signing books at two book festivals in New York’s Hudson Valley that are coming up in the next few weeks.
