I wish I could but I'm in round 6 revision (hoping 6th time is the charm) of my novel that was inspired by my 2021 FWF entry.

Great tips, Shannon.
They all hit home with one hitting with an extra punch.
I just finished my first 'experimental' manuscript in dialogue only. Through the entire writing process, my inner-CP relentlessly questioned, 'I dunno about this'.
Next time I'm going to listen to him harder : )

For Fatherโs Day my youngest (7) christened me with a new nickname-Eiffel Daddy (he knows I love Paris).
I know thereโs a PB churning here but all my ideas so far are not Eiffel Tower caliber.
Any suggestions to help spark the creative fire?

HANK was a Christmas gift for our 12 yo very reluctant reader. He finished it yesterday...and drumroll please...he liked it (to put in perspective, he likes nothing). He liked it so much, he asked, "does the author have any other books?"
You friggin' rock!

My husband was an English major. He's now an attorney. He frequently comments that many attorneys have poor writing skills.

During the final years of my fatherโs life he spent hours sketching.
The pic on the left is one of his originals.
The pic on the right is a Christmas gift from my husband. He blew up the original and painted using his own artistic expression.
One of the best gifts Iโve ever received.
