http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 30, 2015. By Jean Henry Mead. The following are a few of Hemingway's quotes:. There's no rule on how it is to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly. Sometimes it is like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges. I'll] work again on the novel today. Writing is a hard business, but nothing makes you feel better. I love to write. But it has never gotten any easier to do and you can't expect it to if you keep trying for something better than you can do. On Writing, e.

Murderous Musings: August 2015
http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2015. Iron Lake by William Kent Krueger Rocks! Long before I decided to write, I was a reader. I still am. I love everything about all books. Especially mysteries. Books made of paper rock: their smell, their feel, their bright covers. Most of all, I love losing myself in a new world created by a gifted writer. Cork O'Connor first heard the story of the Windigo in the fall of 1965 when he hunted the big bear with Sam Winter Moon. He was fourteen and his father was dead a year. Along ...

http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Father Time Almost Kicked My Butt. Just living started to take all of my energy. Keeping up my 4-bedroom house, my yard and cooking meals left me too tired to write. I tried, but after about 20 minutes, I had to lie down for a while. I fought this personal battle for much longer than I should have. Because of my own stubbornness, my 2. Grace Cassidy mystery, THE CORPSE WHO WALKED IN THE DOOR, wasn’t getting written. Was my life as a writer over? My youngest daughter was betw...

Friday, May 15, 2015. Restarting a Stalled Plot. By Jean Henry Mead. Writers have all been there at one time or another. The story’s going along great when all of a sudden you come to a complete stop as though a stone wall stands in your path. Surprised and a little fearful, you can’t seem to get going again. You either abandon the project or put it aside, hoping you’ll eventually come back to it. Q Why would Johnny marry a girl he doesn’t love? Q But everyone thinks he’s a great guy. If you’re not...

Murderous Musings: December 2014
http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. I haven’t loved every Christmas. I’m an old gal, and looking back through the years, there were many years I just plain faked my 'ho. Ho ho' Some of those years were hard and to get through them I had to put on a brave face of unfelt joy for the sake of those who loved me. And oddly enough, for those who didn’t like me much. Why give such people the satisfaction of seeing you’re having a sucky Christmas? Sunglasses are wonderful things for hiding tears. By Jean Henry Mead.
