How Does a Writer Get Better?
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 | The Writing Life, To Be Queen | 2 Comments
How does a writer get better? This is a question I ask myself. I have a few answers that I’ve come up with over the last twelve years, but if anyone else has an idea, I’d love to hear it.
This question is on my mind today because tomorrow I hope to receive the latest batch of notes from my editors. And the question remains: once TO BE QUEEN is back in my hands, how can I make it better?
The Muse

Where does the Muse go when I am not working? Do other artists and writers ask this question, too?
I am waiting for notes from my editor, and as such, Eleanor and I have been taking time off. But as I look forward to the next round of notes for TO BE QUEEN, I wonder, where does the Muse go when I am not writing? Hmmm…Maybe the Muse lives in the depths of my subconscious mind, and comes out when it’s time to work. I certainly hope so. I guess that’s what writer’s block would be…the Muse not showing up.
Missed Posts and Musings

Ah, I missed my post yesterday…I was away from my computer all day. I am taking a few days off from my writing, so I let the ball drop and the computer lie silent. I think it’s good to let my brain lie fallow. Perhaps my words will flow better once I begin to work again. Here’s hoping…
Beauty and Inspiration

The verdant beauty of North Carolina has been inspiring me. I am on a small break from TO BE QUEEN, and so is Eleanor, as we wait for my editor’s notes. Eleanor does not get notes, but I get many. I need them, believe me. But as we wait, I sit on a borrowed porch and take in the beauty of the South. I find myself very happy to be here.
