Blog postA heartwarming story about family, healing from loss, and finding love, even when you never dreamed it was possible.
Ashley Howland Scott has no time for romance as she grieves the loss of her husband, cares for her young son, and runs Magnolia Harbor’s only bed and breakfast. Ashley never imagined she’d notice–let alone have feelings for–another man after her husband was killed in Afghanistan five years earlier. But slowly, softly, Rev. Micah St. Pierre has become a friend . . . and -

Blog postI have a critique group that gets together every few months (except recently). And the best part of this group is that we talk and brainstorm about our various plot and characterization problems. It’s utterly invaluable. And I haven’t connected with my gang since January.
Getting together with other writers to brainstorm problems is part of the process. So in the absence of being able to meet face to face. Today is the day to post a problem and get -
Blog postIt’s brainstorming Monday, which means I’m on call to help you get unstuck. Whether you have a plot problem, a saggy middle, or you’ve hit a scene that you just can’t seem to finish, you can post a comment and I’ll provide some advice. Other posters will also (hopefully) chime in.
But in the meantime, while we’re waiting to see if there are any brainstorming questions this month, let’s go back to the that pesky scene that just isn’t inspiring you. Have you ever had this happen? -
Blog postNo, this is not a blog about how to weather the psychological currents and eddies of the current pandemic. It’s an article about a subject that came up in the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood’s chat room last week—the issue of series bibles and organizing continuity information.
[By the way, there is an ongoing sprint-chat every weekday morning in the chat room from 9:00 – 12:00 Eastern time. All are welcome. We get a lot of words written and chat all the time about author -
Blog postAll across the nation, people are staying home, socially distancing, and generally isolating themselves. Which means, getting together with your critique partners has become a national no-no, unless you’re FaceTiming or using one of those conferencing aps like Zoom.
So what’s a writer to do when you’re staring a new book, and that writer’s retreat that you scheduled where you were going to plot it out with friends has been postponed indefinitely? Short answer: you gotta suck it up and -
Blog postEarnest Hemingway used to say that the best medicine for writer’s block was defrosting the refrigerator. Unfortunately for us literary types in the twenty-first century, this is no longer a viable option.
Everyone gets stuck. And there is often no rhyme or reason to it. We just have to suffer. But here’s another truism: misery loves company!
I often find that the best way to get unstuck is to call up my critique partners and whine about my holey plot, my two-dimensional charac -
Blog postThe members of the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood would like to wish all our readers a happy Thanksgiving.
We’ll be taking this week off to celebrate the holidays with our friends and family. And while we’re away, we’ll also be making some upgrades to our blog site. We’ll be back with a new post on Monday December 2.
In the meantime, we hope you all count your blessings, and have a second helping of pumpkin pie.

Blog postIt’s that time again. The last Monday of the month when we devote the blog to brainstorming.
Here’s your opportunity to ask other writers to help you fix a problem with your character’s arc, the plot of the story, or any other matter relating to the your current work in progress.
Here’s how the brainstorming works:
If you have a problem, question, or just need help on something, post your issue in a comment. Blog readers, this is where you come in. If you have -
Blog postWriting a novel can be a lonely pursuit. When it comes right down to it unless you’re part of a collaboration, the actual writing of the book is something you have to do utterly alone.
And yet, in the front of just about every book you’ll find an acknowledgement where the author thanks those who helped with research, and often with helping to flesh out ideas, or solve particular plot or fact problems.
As the annual host of the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood’s brainstorm -
