"Now go to it! It's ready to be pick [sic]." So I've been blogging for about five years now, and there came a time (recently) when I got tired of putting out words and not getting feedback (or worse, spam) in return. However, I'm going to continue at it, thanks to the encouragement of friends. I do like expressing myself, and I think there's a strong need for diverse voices at present. However, I'm going to change up the format. I typically post on Mondays and Fridays. I'll be continuing … [Read more...]

A person without a smiling face should not open a shop. -Chinese proverb My neighbor turned 100 years old! Her advice to a long life? Smiling. Actually, laughing. She says that she weathered life's ups and downs with a dose of good humor. Also, I was recently nominated for a blog award by Brittney (thanks!). The name of the award makes me smile: Sunshine Award. The rule is I have to answer eleven questions: 1. What is your favorite vacation place? I really enjoyed visiting Italy … [Read more...]

Hello, all! Here's a secret post for everyone because I received a recent Liebster Award nomination. Thank you to Evelyne Holingue! (I realize that when I migrated from Blogger to my custom site that I didn't display my previous blog awards. I've since remedied this--see the sidebar!) I first received the Liebster Award when my blog was starting off. I'm excited to get the nomination again. Here's some background on the award by Evelyne: "Liebster comes from the German verb Lieben, … [Read more...]
The Benefits of Non-fiction for Fiction Writers
August 19, 2013 2 Comments
"When you paint a dragon, dot its eyes." -Chinese proverb I've learned to be precise over the last few weeks because I've ventured into the territory of guest blogging. My most recent non-fiction posts are: Five Things You Should Know about Taiwan and Five Reasons for Publishing with a Small Press. As a fiction writer, I've enjoyed switching to non-fiction for three reasons (I know, I'm breaking the number five trend that's been happening): Research: With non-fiction comes the … [Read more...]
