A plotter is someone who meticulously plans and outlines their story before they begin writing. A pantser prefers to write without a roadmap and doesn't spend a lot of time planning out their story structure.

In my humble opinion, one isn't better than the other. It simply depends on what works for you as a writer. Personally, I'm a plotter. I love a good outline! Having a roadmap to follow makes writing much easier for me.

What's your preferred writing style?

Rewarding myself is something I struggle with. I have to make a conscious effort to do something for me. My "treat yourself" moments are rarely extravagant. They usually involve some time alone to recharge my batteries. I like to put on some soft instrumental music, light a candle and sit down with my journal to pour out my soul onto the pages.

How do you reward yourself?

Two things to remember when you are writing your book:

1. Know your genre - it’s perfectly fine for a story to contain other genres and subplots; just be sure they make sense in the overall story.

2. Revision is part of writing - it’s an arduous task, but it must be done.

I recently discovered this quote and absolutely love it. When reading fiction, I love being transported to far away places (both real and imaginary). To me, there is nothing better than losing awareness of my existing surroundings and being drawn into a beautiful story—at least until my kids bring me back into reality.

This month, my journey began in 1919 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I’m now in Paris in the 1920s. Later this month, I will probably be back in Shadesmar.

Testimonials like this warm my heart because I truly love reading stories and working with words. Handing over your book to a stranger can be an anxiety-inducing process, so I feel honored that my client decided to trust me with her writing project.

Every author needs an editor; finding the right editor for your writing voice is incredibly important. Are you finishing up a writing project? I would love to chat with you and determine if we are a good fit. Visit the inquiry page on my website to schedule a consultation call. Link is in my bio!

Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages. The first written valentines began to appear after 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence today is a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London.

In the U.S., handmade valentines began to be exchanged in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” she made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures. Click the link to see one of her valentines: http://bit.ly/3jy254x It’s so pretty!

It’s customary for me to give valentines to my kids. I was shocked (and nearly cried) when I saw that my 16-year-old son still has the cards I give him. Be still my mama heart!
