Alphabet Blogging: S is for…
Struggles. Specifically, the struggle of being a work-at-home mom. Oh, I know I don’t have to keep specific office hours or anything, but sometimes I wonder if that would make it easier. There is a constant balancing act, an ongoing struggle, over whether I should write, play with my son, or do housework. Any one […]
Alphabet Blogging: R is for…
The Right time. (Is it cheating to ignore ‘the’ in front of a word? Oh well. 😉 ) I don’t know what it is, but it seems to be in the air these days. A friend of mine recently posted on her blog about merging her passions into purpose. I read that post, and it […]
Alphabet Blogging: Q is for…
Questions in fiction. Specifically, the what-if question that forms the basis of speculative fiction. Something I’ve noticed recently in the circles of Christian readers that I come into contact with is an interesting trend of complaining. Readers complain that stories make “extra-Biblical assumptions,” or the the author’s “theology is incorrect.” Ummm…pardon me if I seem […]
Alphabet blogging: P is for…
Peers. Oh boy. Just saying that makes me feel like I’m back in high school. As a young teen, I was fond of citing “no peer pressure” as one of my favorite reasons for being a homeschooler. It was only in my later teens that I realized that I did indeed feel peer pressure–for not […]
Alphabet Blogging: O is for…
Openness. A few years ago, I wrote about how it’s difficult for me to be real and open in my writing. Not much has changed since that post. It’s still hard for me to be transparent in my writing, and I know that affects the sincerity of the writing. When I write without openness and […]
Alphabet Blogging: N is for…
Names. (Did you think I was gonna say ‘new year’?) 😉 Names and titles in fiction are important to me. I almost never start a story or book without at least some idea of a title. Even if I end up changing it later, the title helps me shape the story. Same with names. I’ve […]
Alphabet Blogging: M is for
Maps. Ever since I first opened up The Lord of the Rings, to be greeted by a beautifully detailed map of Middle Earth, I’ve been in love with maps in books. Even before that, though, while I never did much with maps, I still liked looking at them. To me, a map has always signaled […]
Alphabet Blogging: L is for…
Well…I’m sorry, guys. I thought for sure I had a post written and scheduled for last Wednesday. I must have been half asleep or something. Maybe I dreamed it–I tend to do that a lot, dream that I did something only to find out that in real life, I didn’t. Huh. OK, on to the […]
