         <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
It seems like the only time I blog these days is when I'm doing a blog hop with my buddies Deb, Kerrie, and Jami.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Read Kerrie's post from yesterday
&nbsp;
Since we hadn't done a hop since before the pandemic, we decided we couldn't ignore the elephant in the room.&nbsp; We could go with how much 2020/2021 sucked or how much it didn't.&nbsp; For me, it was a little of both, but I count myself lucky to say the scale tipped more to the side of "it didn't."
&nbsp;

         <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;
I could have gone a lot of ways with this blog post about reality vs. the hype, but a movie I watched the other day got me right in the feels and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
&nbsp;
So not that I really have time to watch movies these days (I became a partner in a coffeehouse, which opened a new location 3 weeks ago, so I haven't been home much!), but I've lately developed an appreciation for the overly-hyped segment of the entertainment industry that is...]]></description>

As promised, below are the files for the tools I use to me stay organized while I'm plotting a mystery.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Scene notes:&nbsp;&nbsp;

	These can be printed on 2x4 labels, or the points can be jotted into your writer's notebook.

&nbsp;
These points will help you plot each scene in your novel.&nbsp; They'll remind you to list the characters in the scene, the time and place it occurs, the major action contained in the scene, the goal of the scene, and the purpose of the...]]></description>

We're tackling another blog hop, and this time the subject is...&nbsp;

	&nbsp;
My Real-Life Alter Ego

	&nbsp;
My writer friends and I have some interesting and unusual things we do when we're not writing, so we thought we'd share them with you!
&nbsp;
I’ve had several unusual jobs, starting with church organist when I was sixteen. Like, what sixteen-year-old knows how to play a pipe organ?&nbsp; Well, I did.&nbsp; It’s not much different than a piano, aside from the fact that there are...]]></description>

We can't all be Martha Stewart...
&nbsp;
I don't know about you, but I love looking at Pinterest Fails as much as I love looking at Pinterest itself.&nbsp; We all see those beautiful crafty creations and think, "I could do that!"&nbsp; And sometimes we can.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Other times...not so much.

I've been sharing all of my non-author-ish Halloween favorites, so I thought it was time to talk books!
&nbsp;
I apologize for missing Day 4--I was out of town, but if you check out my&nbsp;Instagram&nbsp;page, you'll find plenty of pics of my Indy trip!
&nbsp;
I'm not into horror, so this isn't that kind of list.&nbsp; I'm much more into suspense and heart-pounding action and psychological chills.

You thought my cupcakes yesterday were creepy?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Well, hold onto your witch hats.
&nbsp;
A mystery author worth her salt ought to be able to come up with a fake dead body.&nbsp; After all, we conjure them in our minds all day.&nbsp; But it's even more fun to get hands on.

Ultimately, these things ended up at our station on our friends' Haunted Trail.&nbsp; See this post to find out what we did with them.

If you’re like me, you have very little interest in slaving over a hot stove, especially in October when there are so many other fun things to do.&nbsp; Do I browse Pinterest and pin intricate recipes that are more craft project than edible?&nbsp; Heck, yeah.&nbsp; Do I have any intention of making said recipes?&nbsp; Heck, no!
&nbsp;
Here’s several recipes to get you through Halloween with minimal effort but maximum “wow” factor.

Disclaimer:&nbsp; This is a bit of a cop out to my&nbsp;
"13 Days of Halloween" series.

	&nbsp;

	

	&nbsp;

	&nbsp;
Deborah Nam-Krane and I scheduled the "Bingeworthy TV Blog Hop" a month ago, before I decided to do the "13 Days" bit, so rather than make a double post today, I'm going with just the one.&nbsp; I feel like a slacker, but I have a looming deadline (Nov 1) for a first draft that's 5k words away from completion.&nbsp; And that doesn't count fixing some glaring continuity...]]></description>
