Question of the Month: Complete

Tell me something you’ve completed that you’re proud of, or that shows what you’re made of. Whether it’s a poem, a quilt, a garden, or a restored car, I want to hear about it!
Oh, by the way…

I now have a title and a cover. You can even pre-order my book at Amazon.
It’s starting to feel [...]

Question of the Month: Joy

My sister-in-law sent this to me, and I figured some of you could relate…

So we all know the misery of the business, but today I want to ask you about the flip side. After all, how many people do you know who follow their passions as much as writers do? So tell me, what about [...]

LitPark Question of the Month: 2010

What are your writing goals for 2010?

Also, please share any of your good news, whether it’s an award, a publication, or overcoming writer’s block. Here’s to all of us having a creative year and finally reaching those milestones we’ve had our hearts set on for so long!

Question of the Month: Title

Tell me some of your favorite book titles. What do you think makes a good title? What catches your eye?

I’m asking this partly because, once again, I have to find a new title for my book. The marketing team thinks THE RUBY CUP sounds more like YA Fantasy than literary fiction, and I think they’re [...]

Question of the Month: Pet

Tell me a story about the first animal you ever loved.
For those following the progress on my book, I’m happy to report that I turned my edits in on time (I was asked to add a frame-story, as well as pick up the pace of one part of the book), and the edits were really [...]

Question of the Month: Fire

Tell me a true story about you and fire.

Wednesday, Dylan Landis will be here to talk about fire, mother-daughter relationships, and her debut story collection, NORMAL PEOPLE DON’T LIVE LIKE THIS. I hope you’ll join the conversation!
Oh, and here’s a link to an interview I did with Rick Kleffel while I was at the Community [...]

Question of the Month: Lesson

What’s the most important writing lesson you’ve learned, and where did you learn it?

Wednesday, Judith Ryan Hendricks will be here to talk about her newest book and what she’s learned after publishing four novels. I hope you’ll be here to welcome her!

Question of the Month: Instrument

What instrument did you play as a child? Tell me a story about you and that instrument that shows me something of the kind of kid you were.

Wednesday, Naseem Rakha will be here to discuss her debut novel, THE CRYING TREE, and she’ll answer this question, as well. See you then!
By the way, all week [...]

Now it’s Lance’s turn to be front and center with his gorgeous debut novel of outcasts in search of love [...]

Question of the Month: Hero

Who’s your hero?
And bless all of you who want to tell me about your moms, but try to keep your answers to public figures.

Wednesday, Lance Reynald will be here to talk about heroes, freaks, art, music, and his debut novel, POP SALVATION. Don’t you dare miss it!

Here, by the way, is a photo of me [...]
