Today I really want to be writing my novel. Instead I am procrastinating on writing my portfolio. Proposition #1: Teachers are committed to students and their learning. Is there any way to stretch out “If you are not committed you shouldn’t teach” i…

Don't be afraid to try! I agree with the advice from the other posters. You have to expect some rejection when you are trying to publish something. Steven King wrote about his rejections in his book "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft." I can still p…

It's a research day today. Sometimes I love research, sometimes I hate it. Today is a love it kind of day! Lots of different countries to research along with customs, restaurants, bars, and alley ways. Google Earth makes this a lot easier. I’m creat…

I have the same reaction to spring and summer! Your story sounds interesting. It's a good sign that she took it with her! From what I understand, agents rarely do that (they end up with too much stuff to cart home)!

I'm all about the technology conferences! Were you at METC or RCET? There are not too many virtual elementary teachers in Missouri, so I'm pretty easy to spot at a lot of conferences! The Hearland Writer's Guild Conference is the one in Sikeston. It…

Hi, Rosylinn, I am a real high school teacher who is also from Missouri, Arcadia, MO, to be exact. I have maybe even met you at a conference or two. Just this past spring, I went to the Missouri Writer's Guild conference in Cape Girardeau, Mo. I wri…

Procrastination

Today I really want to be writing my novel. Instead I am procrastinating on writing my portfolio. Proposition #1: Teachers are committed to students and their learning. Is there any way to stretch out “If you are not committed you shouldn’t teach” into a two page paper? I didn’t think so.

I have lots of new ideas for stories floating around in my head today. I know I should work on my novel, but I may have to get a few of them down on paper. Sure, it’s more procrastination from homework, but at… Continue

Research

It's a research day today. Sometimes I love research, sometimes I hate it. Today is a love it kind of day! Lots of different countries to research along with customs, restaurants, bars, and alley ways. Google Earth makes this a lot easier. I’m creating an entire timeline and travel maps through Google Earth. It’s fun and it helps to create realism in my scenes. Off to plan a location for an attempted kidnapping!

Summer

I'm new to The Writer's Box, so I'll start with an introduction. Currently I am a virtual elementary teacher and writer. I have nothing published, but the novel that I am working on has won an award at the Heartland Writers Guild conference. Now I just have to finish it! The novel is a mystery/thriller, but I love to write young adult, paranormal, fantasy, and urban fantasy. If I'm in the mood, I'll write a little horror; it's pretty formulaic, but I have to get it out of my system.
Summer us al… Continue
