Murder!

Who killed the Ghost of Christmas Past?...

...And was it because she's a Vikings fan?

Write Your Novel

November has become the month for would-be writers to write their novels--or to surge onward with existing novel projects. Best of luck to all. But, mainly, let us all work hard and work well, for that's what's needed to meet meaningful goals.

In the days ahead, I aim to share more here about my writing progress "paying myself first" as Rochelle Melander advised a crowd at Boswell Books a few weeks ago. Melander was promoting her book, which compares writing a book to preparing for a marathon. In both cases, one needs to train and train well. Paying oneself first for Melander means regularly setting aside the first or best time of day to work on your writing project--no excuses, be they work or life.

Melander's basic advice was sound if simple: "Writers write."

It thus remains to be seen who and what we are by our actions.

Who Killed the Ghost of Christmas Past?

Join us for a fun and exciting evening of entertainment one of the nine show nights of Bay View's own interactive holiday murder mystery from Thursday, Dec. 1 to Saturday, Dec. 17--Are you keen enough to catch a killer?
