Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Controlling Characters

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Controlling Characters

By LK Gardner-Griffie on May 11, 2009

Pegasus has long been my symbol for imagination. You put wings on a horse and imagination takes flight. Of course, my fondness for Pegasus may have been fostered by the number of trips we would make by car from Southern California to Northern Washington during my childhood. We made the trek at least twice a year, and invariably we would gas up at the Mobil stations.

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Finding Othello

Thoughts From the Morning Commute – Finding Othello

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 16, 2009

Last night I was looking at the list of authors who would be attending the LA Times Festival of Books event, just to see who else would be there. I am still very excited as this will be the first time I participate in this event. As I browsed the list, I realized a name I sincerely hoped to see was not there. The missing name is Othello Bach.

Thoughts from the Morning Commute – Authors Twitter

By LK Gardner-Griffie on April 1, 2009

It’s been a few days since I posted one of my thoughts from the morning commute. Part of the reason is that I took a few days off and wasn’t going to work. I was barricaded at home behind my computer screen madly editing away on Nowhere Feels Like Home. Since being back to work, [...]

Day 2 of Good Progress

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 29, 2009

It is extremely satisfying to note that I had a second day in a row of good progress on editing my novel, Nowhere Feels Like Home. With the starts and stops that I have been experiencing, and inability to focus on getting the job done, prior to yesterday, I began to despair (just a teeny [...]

A Good Progress Day

By LK Gardner-Griffie on March 28, 2009

I have been struggling a little bit with the editing process, feeling like I was going too slow and not accomplishing very much each day. Of course, there have been all sorts of interruptions to the process, which doesn’t help. I don’t like setting goals and not meeting them however, so have not been pleased [...]

Celebration Dance

Celebration Dance

By LK Gardner-Griffie on February 26, 2009

I think I can finally come down from the clouds now. I finished writing the sequel to Misfit McCabe late Monday night, and inside have been dancing on table tops ever since. It is a fantastic feeling when you put that final period of a manuscript on the page.

Recharging the Batteries

By LK Gardner-Griffie on February 11, 2009

While it may appear that I have been not posting many messages of late, appearances can be deceiving.  Since this past Saturday, I have been working almost exclusively on articles for the blog, but haven’t yet published any of them.  The reason is that I have been been reading and reviewing books for the Lulu [...]

The Writing Super Puppy Bowl

By on February 3, 2009

Well, Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone once again. Two teams hit the field, and the battle wages for the next 3 hours or better, and at the end a team is named champion. What I didn’t understand is that although my plan didn’t actually involve watching the game this year, that I too [...]

Gearing up for the weekend

By on January 29, 2009

I’m still busy working on the sequel. I have not made as much progress the past couple days as I would have liked to, but every once in awhile you have to take a little break and recharge your imagination batteries. Mine have been working on overtime so, I really needed to slow down a [...]

Emotionally Drained

By on January 25, 2009

Friday on my way home from work, I was very excited because I had the weekend in front of me and I didn’t have any outside obligations, so I had a clear space in which to work on the sequel to Misfit McCabe. Now it is Sunday evening and I’m getting ready to call it [...]
