Tuesday: We welcome back the Grammar Queen to pontificate once more on the power of punctuation. Our topic of the day will be the lowly comma.

Wednesday: Revell author Julie Lessman joins us to talk about Playing Favorites . Win your choice of a 5-page critique or a signed copy of one of Julie's books including her new release, A Heart Revealed.


Thursday: Stop in and hang out because Query Contest Coordinator Ruthy is doing a not-so-brief lesson on the art of writing an excellent query letter. Join her for good old-fashioned practice and leave a comment for a chance to win any one of Ruthy's seven books, including the sold-out Winter's End and the not-yet-released Yuletide Hearts.



Friday: We are delighted that we can spend Veteran's Day with Tricia Goyer! Tricia shares on stories hidden in the heart and will be giving away copies of Remembering You, her new release, which is a lovely tribute to Veteran's Day. You don't want to miss Friday!

  21. Congratulations to all the winners! What a winning week in Seekerville.
    Tina, I always enjoy reading the WE. You really do write a good one.

    Helen, love the WE poem. :) Double meanings are always fun.

    Ruthy, hope your synopsis comes together well. I've written one so far, and it was difficult. Are ya saying it doesn't get any easier the more you do? Sigh.

    Please put me in the drawing for Glynna's book. BTW, a big congrats to YOU, Glynna!!

    Happy writing everyone!

  22. I'm on Monday and we can talk more about it then, but this novella I'm doing is based on my mother's mother and father.
    It's much fictionalized of course, but the fundamental story is true. My maternal grandmother was a world traveler. She had a master's degree. She was an amazing piano player and she had a grand piano in her country farm house. (they were Nebraska farmers not Nebraska ranchers, but c'mon, I write cowboys).
    And I asked my mom once, when did they get the grand piano? And mom has no idea. And her big sister has no idea. It was always just there, this grand piano taking up all of one room. I always thought it was sort of 'transported' there (as a child) because it was too big to have really fit in the house.
    And, almost weirder, my grandma lived the last two years of her life with my aunt. I was fourteen when she moved out of that house, sixteen when she died. My mom had eight kids, I was third, so the woman was very, very busy. And mom has no idea where the piano went. Did someone sell it? Take it? Mom has no idea and she asked and no one seemed sure. "Oh, I think someone sold it." (very vague) and of course all the children except my mom, who is youngest, have passed away before I could get my head together and just ASK someone.
    So the piano 'appeared' and then it 'disappeared'. It was very fun to play around with that piano as a gift of love from my rural, uneducated grandfather to his big city wife.
    I'll add here that I suspect that even with the college degree and the job and all the travel and accomplishment, I suspect because she was a spinster, my grandma was considered a failure. While my grandpa with the eighth grade education who owned a farm was probably a big success. I think they just measured people that way back then.
    Anyway, super fun to write. Except I kept hearing my mom in my head saying, "That's no how it happened."
    To the point I'm not sure I even want her to read it. What's the point really....it's far from a biography.

  25. And now I need to get back to work.
    I've got the third book in my Kincaid Bride's series nicely on the way with final revisions.
    And I'm loving it. But I've also got another novella to write and I'd like to get my attention turne to it because it's enticing me.

  26. Mary~

    I posted from my phone earlier and kept losing my comments, but I was going to mention the novella. I finally got fed up and went back to sleep (it was 5:30 am on Saturday, after all).

    I don't know about your mom, but I definitely want to read this story. You mentioned it on a giveaway blog recently, I had visions of having to wait years for it. I'm so excited to hear that it's coming so soon. Yay! now I just need some kind of e-reader capabilities so I can read it. I'm working on that.

    Sounds like this is gonna be a great week. I will, I will, I will stop in at least once a day.

    Later ladies. I have an afternoon movie date with some friends, and I've gotta get a move on.

    Hello Jolly Pepper!!

    Vince, loved the turn on "Scratch a panster". lol Only a bunch of writers would get a kick out of reading that.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Vince....

    That's after 20K, my friend. So by then if you don't have a clue where you're going, you'll never type 'the end', right????

    So this is what I knew:

    He's older.
    She's younger.
    He's a Grinch.
    She's Pollyanna in a business suit.
    He's served his country well and his family poorly.
    She's got no family to speak of except for an aunt and cousin she loves and a half-brother she barely knew.

    But when her half-brother dies in combat and her sister-in-law is deployed, she must take charge of her two nephews as she opens her new retail destination shopping mall in time for the busy Christmas season.


    That was it. But it took me to 20K and enough to write that synopsis.

    Do you really plan, plan?

    Because I'd have to like, kill someone. Whoever might be handy, you know? But that was pretty darned funny.

    I will be the dissenter in your parade, the PANTSERS ROCK!!! alter-element.

    Take that, plotter!

    How about Captain PepperJack? ;-)
    Sounds cheesy, doesn't it?

    I wanted to impress Jack with my fiesty costume! And let him know I stole his hat.

    Ruthy... I've been teaching 3 ten year olds how to sew American Girl Doll dresses today. Not a lot of writing, though.
    But...clean laundry, happy girls, and chicken & dumplings, potato cakes, green bea, and mac&cheese in the works.

  41. Tina,
    I have on my very non-serious red dangling earrings with beads on them.
    Just so I could match Jack.

    But he was MUCH better at the eyeliner than me.
    And his walk is cuter.

    Oh well.

  45. Hey -- Weekend Edition has switched to Saturdays! Who knew? And it's a great one too...though I'm slightly discombobulated now because I think it's Sunday and that means I have to go to work tomorrow but I really don't since tomorrow is Sunday but I'm reading the WE on Saturday which has me all discombobulated...did I say that already? Oy!

    And hey -- I checked with my Christian Bookstore and they have Myra's new release in stock. Whooohoooo! Now I just have to figure out when I can get over there an pick it up.

    Happy Fall Back Weekend everybody!

    Why? Do you think you’ll wake God up! : )

    Vince

    NANO UPDATE: 18296 and smoking! I'm getting into the synopsis zone except I already have a 77 page outline and I know exactly how the story ends. It's such a happy ending, it's like a giant magnet pulling my pen towards the finish. I couldn't stop writing if I wanted to. : }

    BTW: Pantsers have never been able to plan an organized trip to the PPP. : )

  52. Hey everyone,

    Happy weekend! What a lot of prizes! How great is that!

    Congrats, Glynna! I'd love to be in your draw.

    And I love Myra's new book cover.

    Vince, a 77 PAGE outline! Egads! That's half a novel! Wow. I thought my 2 page outline with about 5 pages of character sketches, goals and motivations and moral premise outlines was long!

    I've done over 11,000 words for Nano! And I'm excited at being creative again.

    Cheers,
    Sue

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hi Tina:

    That’s an interesting idea but where are you going to get so many outlines? If you write them yourself, you might be converted.

    Susan: while I have 77 pages of outline, (I did the whole outline while on vacation) I have almost never looked at them. I know the story so well that at any give point in the story I know how a pantseresque change will effect the whole novel. This make it very easy to make major changes because I know if the changes will derail the plot. In a way, I have far greater freedom to pantserize than a pantser does. BTW: 11,000 words is great production. Keep on keeping on it’s working for you.

  57. Vince, yu remind me fo the author Frank Beddor, who wrote the Looking Glass Wars trilogy. He thought about the whole thing for years before he ever wrote one word. It was all in his head.

    I think that's something that just doesn't work with my butter bean sized brain. I have to write it out or it's gone... in seconds.

    I friended you on the Nano site! I was hoping the guilt would spur me on but last night was all about good intentions.

    Pirate Pepper Jack! Love it - cheese and all. :)
    I played a pirate in my college production of Peter Pan. As I recall, my one line was Shiver me timbers.

    Janet, hope the headache is better. And Pam too - sinus headaches seem to be all the rage this season. Yuck.

    Mary, we had a huge baby grand in the house growing up. My policeman grandfather gave it to my grandmother as an engagement present. Now you've got me wondering what ever happened to it. Can't wait for your novella.

    Happy WE everyone. Dare I admit how many times I read Helen's poem wondering how we did and we are doing and we are going to do - and wondering who we are? *sigh* Nano words are eating my brain away.

    Great WE, Tina! :)
