Peek or Peak

Posted by Bethanne on Feb 28, 2010 in Life

Wow, why does this always get me? I really have to think about which one I’m supposed to be using.
What about you? Do you have a quirky word? What is it?
My curiosity is peeked…or is it peaked???

Romance — for Everyone

Posted by Bethanne on Feb 13, 2010 in Holidays, Life

Are romance books for the romantic? Or are they for those who like to imagine it?
We have so many wonderful ladies in Passionate Critters who write romance. Young, married, career oriented, moms… It takes all kinds, and I love how we all come together with one purpose.
To spread a little hope, a little love.
Happily Ever [...]

Necessary evils: Revising

Posted by Harper on Jan 25, 2010 in Life

Anais Nin once said “we write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” Beautiful sentiment, right?
But what about when you’re tasting it for the eighth time that week, and this time, it’s under deadline? Talk about indigestion.
And that’s exactly how I see revision quite often. ..a third, fourth, or fifth [...]

New Year, New Rituals?

Posted by Harper on Jan 18, 2010 in Goals, Life, Our Members, Writing

Oh, the freeing, nagging glory of rituals.
Some of the best writers had them. Some of the rest of us still do.
Junot Diaz writes in the bathroom, perched on the edge of the bathtub to find enough solitude to finish a chapter. Janet Evanovich writes strictly from a visual storyboard. Stephen King writes ten pages [...]

Plotting in Puddles

Posted by Debora on Oct 29, 2009 in Life, Writing

Yes, I love those rainy days and nights.  There is something magical and romantic about walking in the rain with the one you love under a big umbrella. Even sitting by the window and watching the drops cleanse the earth and refresh the spirit. The most relaxing thing in the world for me is listening [...]

One lump or two?

Posted by Silke on Sep 4, 2009 in Life

Yeah, right. I’m not talking about sugar in coffee.
I am talking about how many spaces should follow a period at the end of a sentence.

There appears to be this great big misconception that it’s two spaces after a period.
It used to be two spaces.
It changed.

What kinda “MAN” are you?

Posted by Stephanie on Jul 23, 2009 in Life

Do you love to read a hard core, pig-headed alpha who knows exactly what he wants and goes after it? Or do you prefer a quiet, considerate beta who still goes after he wants but is sensible about it?
When I think about these two types of men, I can’t help but think about Stephenie [...]
