Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. I spent some necessary time doing writing-related things that have simply consumed my every waking moment, it seems. I was able to release a book, convert two books, Blood Land and Money Land, to audiobook format with a tremendously talented producer, retool an entire series of […]

When Renée asked me to join a boxed-set collaboration, I must admit I felt trepidation at first, but when I saw the lineup of writers, I was more than happy to participate; I was honored. All four writers with whom I would be collaborating are successful, prolific, and talented writers. What writer would not join up […]

Do Writers Hear THEIR Biological Clock Ticking?

On October 25, 2014, in Uncategorized, by rsguthrie

Most of us are familiar with the outdated, cliched saying regarding a female hearing some phantom biological clock ticking (implying, of course, that all women want children, that there is a shelf life on eggs, and, well, you can calculate the rest of the math on your own).

People need to care about the characters in your writing. If they don’t—if they could not care less about John or Beth […]

And let me tell you, after a trip to the Big Easy, and a couple voodoo shops, I am ready to follow through with my threats of cursing you with damnation. You may have noticed a dearth of blogs from me (then again, you may not have). Well, long story short, I had a writing […]
