1. Zoe
M. McCarthy talks about ending paragraphs with a meaningful punch. Do your
paragraphs excite the reader and urge them to turn the page?
2. It cheered me to
see a former plotter extol the virtues of pantsing (going with the flow of
story without a rigid outline). Anna
Elliott gives some tips on how to make the process easier, which I'm going
to apply to my next book.
3. I hope you enjoy
this heartwarming story as much as I did. Chip
and Joanna Gaines, stars of the hit show, Fixer Upper, made an elderly
woman's day.
4. Adelee
Russell shares the stories she used to tell herself. Don't miss this
real-life testimony of finding a father's love.
5. We're at that
point in the year when the yearning for past traditions kicks in bigtime.
Cookie baking always triggers happy memories of Mom, Grandma, and I creating
lots of yummy confections. Check out the Hershey
website and the mouth-watering variety of cookie recipes.
Writers: How do you
keep paragraph endings moving the story forward? I sometimes use a statement
that raises story questions or reveals some hidden thought process.
Readers: During this
time of the year, do you search for inspirational stories like the one about
Chip and Joanna Gaines? Please share the type of books you like to read during
specific seasons whether it's Christmas or some other holiday.
