Overheard while.... in line at the grocery store

“Next time just leave the cans in your cart. That way there’s less lifting for both of us.”

Given that the clerk was directing this at a 6 foot, well-muscled guy I imagine she will end up being the main beneficiary of this plan. And though technically there was nothing wrong with this plan…. after being around a clever 8 year old I am used to plans being presented as benefiting me, “If I watch t.v. mommy than you can have some time to write,”  and it has gotten rather old.

So, rather than presenting my new blog schedule as a benefit to you, my readers, I will be honest and call it what it is… a plan to give me more time to work on my creative writing. I could say that this means as my readers you will see more of my fiction available in the future… or that you won’t be bored as often with these monologues. But  really I am being selfish here. I miss my writing.

Lately it feels like every time I sit down to write I end up in the black hole of my email or creating a new blog post. I love writing my blog, it is true…. My overhears often amaze me. But I really miss my characters. 
 
So starting next week, I will be blogging every Tuesday and Thursday (rather than m/w/f).

Hopefully this will also give me more time to flesh out the rest of my site. In November my next book, UNTANGLING THE KNOT, will be released and, like BETTING JESSICA, I want to set up a separate section of my website for readers who have read the book and want more. In this case I think it will be more about planning a wedding…. But as I said, I am still working on it. I’d love to hear your ideas about what might be there…. So check out the description
of the book and then leave me a comment below.

It’s in both of our best interests… or, okay, mostly mine.

    Background - Overheard While Writing
    It's hard to explain, but 12 years ago, when I started to write seriously, the only place where I could get my work done was at Starbucks. 

    Since then, 4 manuscripts and 4 favored Starbucks later, I sill find myself drawn to a cozy corner and a half-decaf Americano.... not to mention the many friendly faces that greet me when I arrive.

    And, while I try to stay focused, there are some times when the conversations or interactions that surround me draw my attention away from my own characters, and into the world of life's own characters. 

    This BLOG captures some of those funny, sincere, inspiring moments. Maybe they will give you a reason to write as well.
