The Coolest Writer's Site

I love, love, love a new site I just came across thanks to a contest loop I'm on. This site is a writer's dream come true! It has so many descriptive phrases just ripe for the plucking to add so much to a manuscript.

I'm in love!

Here's where to go if you are interested:

Inspired Through Scene!

Aw Yeah, uh-huh! I made it through that pivotal scene, and I'm happy with the result. Now past 30,000 words. My characters are finally really together, and now, I just have to mess that up one more time with the black moment (rubbing my hands together, evilly). That's okay because when they come back together, it will be worth it for their happily ever after.

I also have gotten much inspiration lately from some of my more...ahem...heat-up-the-night books. These are great for any not so hot love scenes. Turns up the fire quickly.

If you are a writer, or even if you've ever thought about writing, what places, people, or even resources seem to inspire you most?

No Woman Is an Island

I am so thankful that I have found so many resources for writing recently. When I turn on my computer and get onto the internet, I immediatly visit a blog from an author I enjoy reading and is so gracious toward her fans. She also does an excellent job of keeping up with her blog (unlike yours truly). My first stop is www.genashowalter.blogspot.com .

Next, I like to visit Twitter. Here I follow authors Teresa Medieros, Christina Dodd, Michelle Rowen, Calistrowriter, Jill Monroe, Nalini Singh, Kresley Cole, and of course, Gena Showalter.

If I am still procrastinating from writing, I like to visit romance writers of america website where I can access so many authors' websites, many of whom are nice enough to give tips, hints, or whole articles about writing.

One of the most interesting and best resources are audio of authors discussing their own experiences. I like Will Write for Wine, AuthorTalk, and Christina Dodd's 2006 speech given at an RWA convention http://christinadodd.com/rwaspeech2006.html

There are always resources out there, and I am so excited to finish my current wip. Now, if I can just get offline with enough time to write, I might actually be able to finish.

Love and pages,

Kiera M.

About Me

My photo
I have been a writer all my life. I still have pleasant memories of typing my "plays" about talking fruits for hours at the age of eight. I gave up on the fruits, but not my love of writing. I hope to publish within the next year. I have been working on at least three book manuscripts, two narrative articles, and 1 poem. Other than that, I work, pretend to clean, and try to be a good wife and mother (work in progress).
