WORDS WORD WORK:
What words would you like to drop from your vocabulary? If words are our canvas then I am in trouble. I have to say it all started with the word so because we I talk I use so or soooo (to drag out my meaning) and have been known when reflecting on a person of whose real name I don't want to use as so and so.....
What are some of your catch words that you would like to quit using or maybe you realized later that you didn't use that word in the proper context?
Another one for me is (But) "But I said, but I meant, but but but) and I might add I probably need to learn some new words and their meaning as I seem to use the same words over and over which of course if I notice this problem then I am sure other people notice it even more.
I'm afraid that my canvas might be a picture of a cloudy day. I say this because sometimes my words get in the way of th real meaning of my conversation.
Then of course we have the pesky words (the ones that end in ING), for the most part they can make your meaning and conversations weak.
Tell us what words you struggle with and how you feel about your canvas of words today.
Hugs,
Pamela

Guest Blogger - Alice Duncan
Although I hate to admit it, August was another crummy month. Not only did I lose a dog I was supposed to be fostering and who dug out from under the fence and hasn’t been seen or heard from since in spite of a million flyers and an ad in the newspaper, but Daisy Gumm Majesty (STRONG SPIRITS, FINE SPIRITS, HIGH SPIRITS, HUNGRY SPIRITS and next year’s GENTEEL SPIRITS) lost her publisher. Again! Yuppers. Five Star, who had kindly taken Daisy under its wing after she was bumped out of Kensington’s lineup (through no fault of her own, as Kensington itself, in the person of Kate Duffy, admitted), is no longer going to be publishing their Expressions line as of December 2011. Sob!
Five Star’s Expressions line was truly a godsend for a lot of us whose books don’t fit neatly into specific genres. For instance, Daisy’s books can’t truly be considered romances, because she’s already married. They aren’t true mysteries, since the Powers That Be at Kensington asked me to take out the dead bodies and add a subsidiary romance to each book. Once I began doing that, I couldn’t very well go back and turn ‘em into real mysteries, could I? Well, maybe I could have, but I didn’t. So unless Five Star agrees to publish Daisy’s sixth book (ANCIENT SPIRITS) as a romantic suspense novel, I don’t know what I’ll do with it. Take it directly to Kindle? Try to find another publisher? Ha! That’ll never happen. The demise of Five Star’s Expressions line is a sad blow to many of us “out of the box” types.
So . . . piffle.
However, perhaps not everything is black. Jean Lamb, a fellow author who truly is a lamb and who reads and likes my books (I don’t know why it always comes as a shock to me that some people actually do read and enjoy my books, but it does) did a special tarot-card reading for me! This fits nicely with the Daisy theme, since Daisy herself is a spiritualist-medium to people who have more money than sense in Pasadena, CA in the early 1920s. Of course, Daisy’s a phony. Jean isn’t. Well . . . I don’t think she is, anyway.
Anyhoo, here’s Jean’s reading, and in it she makes a lot of sense and some good suggestions. She used the Celtic Cross method (which Daisy’s used a time or two, thanks to a book on tarot I bought when I began writing the books–although I never got the hang of the tarot as Jean and Daisy clearly did). The first thing one does when using the Celtic Cross method (from what I gather) is choose a Significator. I’m not quite sure what that means, but here’s the entire reading, and I can definitely relate to the Significator, even if I’m not positive what it is:
Significator: Four of Swords. You want to lie up and heal your wounds. Frankly, this is a good idea if you have the time to do it. You will be able to go forward much more easily if you take the time to recover, rather than forcing yourself into action.
Question: Page of Pentacles--you need to know what is going on out there in the publishing world. Things are changing rapidly, as you well know, and you want to know the reasons behind the events, not just the events themselves.
Opposing forces--Five of Swords. In the picture, someone stands on guard, holding swords, and clearly worried about thieves. This may be holding you back. I haven't been to your web page, so I don't know if you're already doing this, but at Baen Books, they have a free library so people can pick up the first of a series for free, become addicted, and purchase the rest. Now, they're a pretty large company, so they can afford to do things others can't. But it might be something to think about.
Foundation--Ace of Pentacles, reversed. Alas for the life of fame and fortune that is every writer's dream! I want the Standard Rich and Famous Contract, too (as spoken of in the first Muppet Movie), but it's not happening that way. Darn it! (Note from Alice: I had kind of already figured this one out for myself).
Influence passing away: Lovers, reversed. Someone made a choice (doesn't have to be you) that went for short-term gain instead of what was truly ethical. There might be something really interesting going on, which you would like to find out about. But it probably won't help you much even if you do, unfortunately.
Influence that may come into being: Nine of Swords. In fact, obsessing over How They Done You Wrong could be a wrong path for you, too. There are other publishers in the world, and who knows, Kindle, etc., might indeed be the wave of the future. You do have a loyal readership, which should be an asset when approaching another publisher. This is the card of nightmare--avoid it if you can. (Note from Alice: oh, goody)
Influence that will come into being--Eight of Wands. But before you end up too bogged down, you'll fall in love again, either with someone or with a new book. I know that I am happiest when I am dreaming my book and champing at the bit to find time to get it down. (Note from Alice: I’m happily writing PECOS VALLEY RAINBOW even as we virtually speak, and it’s going quite well. That sounds like a Good Thing).
Fears for the future--Queen of Cups. Perhaps you worry that you will never find true love again--but this card being upright means that it may be far more possible than you think. (Note from Alice: God help me).
Friends and Family--King of Cups, reversed. There's a man somewhere in your circle who is always used to getting his own way and is unpleasant when he doesn't get it. Could it be someone at your publishing company? Perhaps you're lucky not to be there any more after all.
Hopes for the future--Nine of Pentacles. This is a woman in a walled garden, alone, but happy and prosperous. In this card, she has a bird on her arm, but somehow I think your garden has dachshunds.
Summation--The World. Wow. Maybe God has opened both a door and a window this time. Follow your heart, and all will be yours--it will be scary, but worth the trouble. I can't think of a better card to end a reading on.
Anyway, rest up for now, try to find out what is really going on but don't obsess over it, and then be happy in new love. It will be the gateway to everything you ever wanted.
And there’s the entire reading. Thanks, Jean! Except for the new love thing (which kind of makes my insides curdle, me being possibly the worst picker-of-men in the known universe), it sounds as though things are going to work out one of these days. Mind you, at the moment my life’s in turmoil and I’m dreading the future primarily because I’m going to have to move, and my lower back spasms at the mere thought of that particular undertaking. But everything will work out all right in the long run! Therefore . . . I guess one must carry and look forward to things to come, right?
I truly appreciate the reading, Jean! By the way, if you’d like Jean to do a reading for you, you can get one for $25 by contacting Jean at tlambs1138@charter.net . Cheap at twice the price!

SCENE BY SCENE by Dorothy Howell
In your novel, each scene should be important. It should matter. It should move your story along, give important information to the reader, and reveal your characters for their true selves. In most cases, it should be a balance of dialogue, setting, and action. The greatest plot, the most colorful character, and wittiest dialogue won’t matter if scenes are cliché or boring.
Here are some things to think about as your write.
Dialogue:
In life, you can get an idea of what someone is like by looking at them. But you won’t really know them until they speak. It’s the same with writing.
Dialogue brings your characters to life. Words, speech patterns and dialect reveal a great deal about them. Keep it crisp. Don’t bog your scene down with unnecessary phrases.
It’s a good idea to intersperse gestures, characters’ thoughts and actions with your dialogue. Use dialogue tags to make it easier for the reader to keep up with who’s saying what.
Setting:
Most writers – myself included – love to do research. We spend hours on the Internet, in the library, and talking to experts to learn every detail of the world we’re creating for our novels. Unfortunately, readers aren’t always as excited about it as we are.
Too much exposition can bring a scene to a halt. The last thing you want is for a reader to grow bored with your descriptions and start to skim. Chances are, they’ll think twice before recommending your book to friends or buying the next one.
If a scene feels as if it’s dragging, try cutting some of your descriptions. Add more characters. Even a minor, throw-away character that causes problems can liven things up.
Action:
Keep it moving. While it’s important to have scenes in which your protagonist is thinking, analyzing clues or deciding what to do next, they don’t have to be dull. Try setting them in unusual places, or under difficult circumstances, such as while driving down a mountain road or walking through a dangerous neighborhood at dusk.
After writing each scene, ask yourself whether it has a purpose in your novel. Does it need to be there? Would it make any difference to your character or your plot if you took it out? If not, cut it.
Most importantly, have fun! If you’re having a good time writing your scenes, your reader will enjoy reading them.
Happy writing!

Christmas Shopping
Christmas Shopping:
How many of you have already started your cross stitch Christmas project and your Christmas Shopping? Are you making a quilt for Christmas or any other Christmas Prezzies? If so we want to hear about it today and have you found some really great Christmas bargins?
I know it is only September 2nd but the holidays are right around the corner and if you're book buying for Christmas you might be able to find some really sweet deals right now and the same goes for cross stitch patterns.
I usually pick up things all year round but this year I have been so busy it hasn't happened and I was just thinking today that I need to start thinking about what I want to do this year. I do know I am doing a stitched Christmas Sampler for my house.
However today I am starting my fall and Halloween stitching then will return to the sampler. I stayed up until 1:45 this morning to finish the snowman I was stitching and now will put the sampler aside until my fall projects are stitched.
So what about you how is the pre holiday stitching and shopping going for you this year?
Hugs,
Pam

Review - Death of a Prankster
Title: Death of a Prankster
Author M.C. Beaton
Mass Market Paperback: 176 pages
Publisher: Fawcett
ISBN-10: 0804111022
A Snowstorm. An old secluded mansion. An annoying old man who plays mean pranks on everyone around him. Throw in lots of money, and you know someone is gloing to kill him. And this house is full of suspects. Hamish has to sort through it all to solve the case. A really enjoyable mystery and I really didnt see where it was going to one clue was dropped and then it all started coming together in a very satisfying way.
Hamish Macbeth is one of my favorite characters. He is just such a regular guy kind of character who does have a sense for getting to the root of crimes (despite his superiors interference). And Lochludb (I may have spelle dthat wrong) is such an interesting little Scottish town.

Review - MURDERS ON ELDERBERRY ROAD
Title: MURDERS ON ELDERBERRY ROAD
Author: Sally Goldenbaum
Genre: Classic Mystery Series
A QUEEN BEE QUILT MYSTERY
ISBN: 978-1-60285-762-9
Hard Cover (LP)
Portia "Po" Paltrow is a quilter, a writer, and heads the Queen Bee Quilters Group in Crestwood, Kansas. Po loves to start her day jogging and takes the route by all the quaint shops on Elderberry Road but to her surprise she find Owsen Wilson dead and soon Jo and the other queen bee quilters discover that Owen was murdered.
The list of suspects grows and the eight members of the queen bee quilters begin to piece together more than a quilt although they are doing that too as in making their friend Selma an anniversary quilt using the Crystal Star Pattern that came out in the Kansas City Star piece by piece fifity years ago.
Owen was chairman of the Art History Department of Canterbury College and for the most part he well a well loved professor and while he had his opinions as of late the topic was changing the Elderberry Road quaint shops into a more mecca of progression. Po thought this was a poor idea but would anyone really murder Owen over a disagreement?
The police think it's robbery and he was a victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time but Po doesn't think this makes sense since if someone were going to rob any of the shop it sure wouldn't be a quilt and dry goods shop?
The more she learns the more the quilters stitch together what happened that dreadful day and before long all roads and threads lead to one person with a motive to kill Owen Wilson. Howevr not before yet another murder happens maing their talent for sleuthing even more in demand.
MURDERS ON ELDERBERRY ROAD is a timeless classic of the american cozy mystery. If you're not a quilter you will still want to read this mystery because while the theme maybe quilting the subject murder.
I have a feeling that in this series the best is yet to be and we've already discovered that the cream does rise to the top in this series.
I give this one nine out of ten for being a cozy lover's dream mystery.
