Thanks so much for following the blog!<br /><br />Hi, RD!<br /><br />Oh, Monique, thanks so much for inviting me. This is an amazing blog and you have been so wonderful. Everyone, make sure to follow Monique's blog. She has fabulous guest and great articles!<br /><br />You are so funny, Pam! I've shared it now. Didn't realize it was set to private ~hits head~ Let me know if it doesn't work!<br /><br />You are so welcome, Kathryn. We still have a lot of places to go yet including my research on homicide investigations, so stay tuned. <br /><br />Thanks so much, Eli. That really makes it worth it to me. I had so many wonderful authors, Lisa Hendrix, Delilah Marvelle, Kristine McMorris, Piers Anthony, and Spider Robinson have been instrumental in keeping me writing. My brother, Roland Smith, has given me so much advice I am sometimes overwhelmed. That I can pay this back to other writers is what it's all about. Keep that in mind when you are rich and famous! :o)Minnette Meadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450125026323940647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-77657608022247003742011-12-05T19:36:46.241-08:002011-12-05T19:36:46.241-08:00Hi Minnette, I am SO thankful I had time to stop b...Hi Minnette, I am SO thankful I had time to stop by today...I truly am always learning from you !<br /><br />I really am looking forward to reading 'The Belle Stalker'<br /><br />Hugs~<br />KymAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-60995024627344529572011-12-05T19:18:40.113-08:002011-12-05T19:18:40.113-08:00Minnette,

Hi, Tracey D - I give them gene...Finally made it! <br /><br />Hi, Tracey D - I give them general input about what I want, but honestly I don't really have a lot of say over the cover. The first couple of books I did, but the good news is I have fabulous designers. If I really don't like something they will change it. :o)<br /><br />Hi, Christine! I real just about anything I can get my hands on. I just finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, am reading a horror story about the Civil War and picked up Haunted America a couple of weeks ago. I also have Stephen King's and Michael Crighton's lastests, plus sever romances I'm trying to get to. I especially love mysteries, sci-fi and fantasy. I was a Tolien "scholar" before there was such a thing (back in the 70's... man, does THAT date me!). Favorite to write? It's usually whatever I'm working on at the moment. Right now my favorite is comedy, but I still LOVE those historical books too. The voices in my head fight all the time about it. I do get writer's block, but over the years I've had to kick it in the butt to meet deadlines. I just sit down and FORCE myself to write. Coffee, though I love a cup of peppermint tea from time to time. Thanks for all the questions and Merry Christmas to you too!.<br /><br />Hi, Bama... You're going to have to stop talking so much girl! LOL<br /><br />You are more than welcome, Laura!<br /><br />No worries, Jan. Thanks for coming over!<br /><br />~Waves~Hi, Melissa! Every writer does things a little differently, so don't take mine as the norm! LOL <br /><br />Thanks, Anne... There a couple more twists in there too... :o)<br /><br />Tammy Ramey! My pleasure. I love sharing stuff when I get it. That's why I set up the "Resources" pages on my blog and my website. I know how long it took me to find stuff to help streamline the process, and other authors shared with me. So you are welcome to use what you can. I'm really excited to share the tool training with one of you writers... I think you'll get a big kick out of it! <br /><br />You're welcome, Cheralyn!<br /><br />There's my girl! How are you Christine? I know. I keep trying to get over to your tour and haven't had the time. For any of you here, Christine is also having a tour with Goddess Fish. Here's a link: http://goddessfishpromotions.blogspot.com/2011/10/virtual-book-tour-highland-honor-by.html - Good luck, darlin'! :o)<br /><br />Hi, Karen... Oh, I hate having my eyes dilated! OMG, I don't know what I would do without one! I don't have to imagine, girl. I wrote the first draft of Starsight longhand and then bought a Selectric typewriter. I was so thrilled when the first PC's came out! I've heard she did as did lots of great writers; Mark Twain filled whole notebooks with character sketches. :o)<br /><br />Hi, Sheila - Writing ALWAYS changes for me. It's part of the creative process. I guess that's what makes us artists, huh?<br /><br />Thanks, Victoria. I really hope you get the opportunity!Minnette Meadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450125026323940647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6532599129077751889.post-63165709509399482382011-12-05T16:23:09.413-08:002011-12-05T16:23:09.413-08:00Thanks for the giveaway.

Anyway, as I was reading your post today, I got to thinking about how much easier a computer has made the work of an author. Imagine writing out in longhand with pen and ink (or a pencil stub) everything involved in writing a book. I wonder if Jane Austen did this same detailed character backgrounds, etc. before she wrote P&P?Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.com
