 Unfortunately not rest and relaxation. Though some days (and especially now during the pandemic) I wish it could be. My favorite Gary Larson Far Side cartoon (about writing) is the sheep throwing his manuscript in the air shouting in frustration "forget it! Everything I write is so much bleating!" I can relate to that through every step of the process. I'm not going to be one of those authors that tell you to outline, to plan, to keep notes on your major plot points; unless, of course, that works for you. In that case, go nuts. I rather like sitting down with either a blank notebook or a blank Word document and just diving in the deep end with no clue of where I'm going or how long it will take me to get there. It helps to have an idea of a basic plot point or a single character, but again, sometimes I don't even have that. I do have a notebook in my work backpack where I'll jot down story ideas, but I'm usually too distracted to do much else. If you want...

Hi all,   Okay, so I've said that I work in healthcare, but I don't think I specified that I work in healthcare in Florida. Fortunately not Miami-Dade or Broward, but our numbers are crawling up and things are tense right now. Hence the lack of posts on weekends. We've all been working overtime shifts and I've been too tired to brain on the weekends, let alone try and be coherent enough talking about my books and writing.   I'll be back at some point and have a few posts already written that just need to be typed up. Hopefully by August. Thanks for your understanding. :)

All right, so I've been giving the matter some thought and I have a vague idea how I'm going to do this. I'm in the process of preparing a few posts on a couple of my stand-alone novellas to start us off with. I think that there will be a few days when I miss posts because I'm working on getting something ready to share. I'd like to think that I'm organized and prepared, but I know myself well enough to know that I'm not. I'm also working on two of my novels-in-progress that is taking some of my attention as well. So I'm thinking that a character list with some sort of indicator on who is a main character and will, thus, have an expanded entry with more information on them. Then a brief summary and/or the text from the back of the book. Quotes from the book. An in-depth discussion on the book. Then talking about research I did for the book, things I had wanted to put in that got cut for whatever reason, maybe some outtakes or unknown information fo...

Hello everyone, I’m Lexxie Scott. As you can tell from the blog’s title, I’m an author and this blog is about my books - published and in progress. I’ve been writing since I was around twelve or so, definitely seventh grade. I always had a notebook with me and would write in class once my reading, test, or other work was finished. That’s also when I created two of my characters; Tiffany and Joe Franks, along with a number of the agents they work with. Remarkably, however, they are not in the first book I published. Those stories will never see the light of day, but a few of the ideas might make their way into something more. My hope here is to talk about each book I have published, maybe share some information not in the books, and some background on the characters and locations. I’ve not had much chance to talk with my readers for my novels, and I will answer questions and comments as well, but will not respond to any flames. I write fan fiction as well (under a pen name) and am u...
