On this day, I write

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Cynthia

Robert Dugoni opened the Surrey conference I just attended. “On this day, I write,” was the ending phrase of his speech. If you’d like to hear it, please click here. It is inspirational. Thanks to Robert Dugoni, I began the conference reminded of why I write. Thanks to Robert McCammon, and Robynn Sheahan, and Russell…

I have my reasons and you have yours.

Posted on September 16, 2011 by Cynthia

We all do what we feel we have to at any given moment and those actions we cannot justify, we rationalize. Notice I didn’t say we always do what we feel is right. There’s a big difference. BESIDES . . . what’s right for you could easily wrong someone else (see my post  What’s your…

Itching away

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Cynthia

Ralph, a homeless man who lives in my novel, The Courier, has head lice. At one point, he explains how lice can sometimes be advantageous. That doesn’t stop him from using an unconventional method to rid himself of them. I won’t tell you what Ralph feels the upside is, you’ll have to read the book…

Busy signal

Posted on August 11, 2011 by Cynthia

The days are busy. So are the nights. You work. You write. It’s what you do. You walk around with a notepad and pen all the time, a blue tooth attached to your ear, and a cell phone in your pocket. Your phone is almost always on. If you’re not in the car, you’re, most…

Posted on July 30, 2011 by Cynthia

When I sat down to write The Courier, I knew who I wanted Cyrus Driskoll to be at the beginning of the the book. I knew who I wanted him to be at the end. I had a rough idea of how I might get him from A to Z.   To me, the most important…

When I was younger, I was reluctant to share my writing. It was so . . . personal. When I was in my twenties, my husband, kids, and I moved west. My parents lived in the east. So Mama and I didn’t get much of a chance to hang out. When my parents visited, Mama…

Making Time

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Cynthia

Hold your hand up if you’re a writer. Now, those of you who don’t work at a full-time job (in addition to writing), put your hand down. If you have kids at home or provide care for someone in your home, put your hand back up. That’s a full time job. I’m not playing Simon…

I recently completed my second novel, The Wrongs of Being Right. It covers the journey of Symphony Weber, a young girl who, at birth, is gifted with a special ability.

Whatever I want

Posted on March 13, 2011 by Cynthia

This is the first blog on my new website. Russell Turney (my friend and fellow author who set this up for me) said I could write whatever I wanted to. Funny, I guess I always knew that. That I could write whatever I want, I mean. Even if I couldn’t do what I wanted, or…
