J Is For… Just – and Other Garbage Words

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 11, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 11, 2015

H Is For… Holes – As in Plots (get that mind out of the gutter ~grin~)

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 9, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 9, 2015

I tend to write without outlines, character sheets, or even much of a plan. Sometimes this approach fails utterly because the stories can go off on a tangent and then sputter out.  Or, as referenced in the name of this … Continue reading →

F Is For… Fiction!

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 7, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 7, 2015

I adore fiction.  I always have.  I wrote my first story at the age of nine, and I devoured books upon books from the library, booksellers like B. Dalton and Waldenbooks, and when I discovered my first Barnes and Noble … Continue reading →

D is for…Distraction

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 4, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 4, 2015

Case and point…I’m late posting today, because I was distracted.  Granted, I was distracted with family events and a bit of exhaustion. Many days, when I’m writing I have to fight distraction.  A. Catherine Noon pointed out yesterday that she … Continue reading →

C Is For… Character

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 3, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 3, 2015

So, I went to Google today to find a funny picture to use for today’s post.  So, I says, Google, give me funny character pictures.  And Google says, Well, I’m not actually sure what this says.  Isn’t he creepy?  🙂 … Continue reading →

Writer Zen Garden Posted on April 2, 2015 by a.catherine.noonApril 2, 2015
