I’ve modified an old recipe of my mother’s to include some kick and make it easy by cooking all day in the crock pot. While her Creole was never done in a crock pot, I think it works well.

I use a lot of pictures when I’m writing. Either to get a visual on the mental image I have for a setting, or to work around for characterization.

Haftmann’s Rules: Robert White – The first full-length novel to feature White’s recurring …

Can you believe it’s the last Friday of the month already? Not to forget it’s also the very last day of the month, and tomorrow is (finally) the first of March. Might I direct you to the 52 Weeks posting for March 7, 2013, where my favorite and most-published short is posted? Check it out – The Lion Roared – opens in a new tab so you can stick around and watch me torture myself pondering the characterization process…

You see that over there? That’s March. I think it may be coming in like a Lion… what do you think? I hope so! That way it’ll go out like a lamb.
Today also marks the first day of WriYe’s Final Sprint; a two-day challenge to write triple your regular daily goal, each day. That means I’m basically going for another 5k. These prompts are going to come in handy!
