ReedWrites: December 2010
http://cynthia-reed.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
An occasional and possibly random attempt to write about writing, words, books, my fellow authors and what I've learned along the way. Wednesday, 29 December 2010. What on earth am I doing with a second blog.or is it really the third? Or a new beginning. So here goes. So, why another blog? I should congratulate myself. I was ahead of my time! It was fun (I loved it! A few months ago everything changed again. No, not another change in relationship for once. Indeed, my past writing has always been ...Sudde...

ReedWrites: January 2011

An occasional and possibly random attempt to write about writing, words, books, my fellow authors and what I've learned along the way. Sunday, 2 January 2011. Resolution v Commitment: 'What's the Difference' Anyway? But, this once, just now and in honour of the New Year, I did. Rewind (whirring sounds here) to one o'clock in the morning on the second of January. Last night. I woke and discovered that NPR's Prairie Home Companion was over and I'd missed 85% of it yet again (it comes on here from 1...For t...

Wearing Many Hats--A blog about being a writer, a mother, a teacher and an expat in Dubai: February 2009
http://mahasarrafshehadeh.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wearing Many Hats- A blog about being a writer, a mother, a teacher and an expat in Dubai. Sunday, February 1, 2009. I’ve done it. Well, no, I haven’t finished my manuscript, but I’ve made a discovery. It may not be anything new to many of you—but for me it ‘s big. I have made peace with the idea of plot. Plot is the driving force behind a novel. Otherwise it’s a series of vignettes with nothing tying them together. Something has to tie the threads of her West Bank experience together. And it has to ...

Song Up In My Head: Skiing in the Netherlands
http://songupinmyhead.blogspot.com/2011/09/skiing-in-netherlands.html
Song Up In My Head. Yes is a world. And in this world of yes live. Saturday, September 3, 2011. Skiing in the Netherlands. If you’re going skiing indoors in the Netherlands, here are a few tips. 1 All skiing in the Netherlands is indoors. You'll see why if you ever visit here- the entire country is flat as Kansas. 2 An hour is enough time. Really. No matter how huge the facility is, it’s really just a bunny hill with a roof. September 3, 2011 at 4:05 PM. Not exactly Snow Basin, eh, Jen? On Being Far Away.

For The Writer's Tower Facebook page: June's Theme is "Mirrors". A 'Saloon' Full Of Mirrors. Image, Denise Jaunsen.

https://daralbright.wordpress.com/2015/01
What's not to love about femme fatales? Archive for the month “January, 2015”. No Cleavage in Broadchurch. Reblogging my own article from Austin Mystery Writers about why women detectives on TV don’t resemble the real thing…. In crime fiction, women traditionally have taken on roles of helpmeet/spouse or devil temptress. It’s the old good girl/bad girl, Madonna/whore dichotomy so prevalent in literature, movies, and television. A great example of this dichotomy appears in the classic noir film,. I spent ...

Professional journalist tells all…. Which is why I'm going to expose myself and "pay it forward" for anyone who is so determined to make it in this business it has become more important than the Holy Grail for you. It will probably ruin my reputation. But if I could have gotten even a fraction of this kind of information in my early days, it wouldn't have taken me so long. 8230; hey, I've got a gift for you. One of two, actually, you can take your pick. So, without further ado…. Labels: Mystery Blog Tour.

The Write Window: Catching Starlight…
http://writewindow.blogspot.com/2011/08/catching-starlight.html
One of the most frequent questions asked of writers is where their ideas come from. The usual answer is the newspaper, other things going on around them, or even some scene that seems to pop into their head of its own volition. But the more amazing thing to me is what writers do with their ideas. I love harvesting among the stars. Appening on the farm today…. And Im still wondering about that. I have big belief in just doing the work of writing rather than waiting for inspiration. Great photographers...

Song Up In My Head: February 2012
http://songupinmyhead.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Song Up In My Head. Yes is a world. And in this world of yes live. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Where Did I Leave the Joy Again? It's easy to lose sight of the joy that's supposed to come hand-in-hand with getting to practice your art. When you're a kid, you live in that joy. You follow your own creative interests, down any road- regardless of whether that road is marketable or effective or whatever. You don't care. You're doing it for you. Ignore everyone else in the room. Be gentle with yourself.
