 Day 50 – And That Brings Us Home!!Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 28 2013, 12:10 am Hard to believe we’ve reached the end of the road for yet another year! It’s been such a pleasure, as always, to go the distance with so many amazing writers and feel the energy and enthusiasm that’s out there! It’s melancholy to say goodbye, of course, but I happened to stumble on this wonderful video [...]  Day 49 – To the End of the WWF…and Beyond!Posted by Addison Fox Feb 27 2013, 12:01 am Welcome to Day 49!! Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of the Winter Writing Festival? Not only has the WWF flown by, but by now, you should have made considerable progress on your work in progress. Either you’ve drafted new pages, or you’ve revised the heck out of your NANO book or, well…49 [...]  Day…Help! I Don’t Know What Day it is!Posted by Liz Talley Feb 26 2013, 8:15 am Anyone with me? I live in a writer’s fog which is not so good for my kids when they were supposed to dress up for school pictures, but I didn’t remember because my hero just told my heroine he isn’t interested anymore (even though he secretly is) and my whole ending fell apart, derailing from [...] Day 47, and We’re in the Final Countdown!!!Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 24 2013, 9:48 pm Hard to believe, but we’re in the last few days of the Third Annual Winter Writing Festival, which ends THIS THURSDAY. Four days may not sound like much, but you can accomplish a lot if you put your mind to it. How much will YOU get done in these final days? Day 45, and You Gotta Show Up!Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 23 2013, 9:01 am I love this bit of advice from Isabel Allende. To hear more, go to: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/02/18/isabel-allende-on-writing/  I NEED to Write!Posted by HeatherMc Feb 22 2013, 8:24 am My son is having a birthday party tonight. Nine 12-year-old boys will take over my family room with their sleeping bags, hyped up on soda, cake and budding pubescent bravado. I’m baking small cakes and decorating them as hockey pucks of the NHL. Then I’m helping my 14-year-old daughter stay on track with her miles [...] Day 43, and It’s Check-In Thursday!!Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 21 2013, 12:12 am Wow–we’ve completed SIX weeks of the Writing Festival, and it’s time to check in over on the Ruby blog. It’s hard to believe, but we’ve got just ONE MORE WEEK after this until we hold the Closing Ceremonies. Until then, my friends, write like madwomen!!!!! You can still get an amazing amount done! Day 42 – Jumping the PitfallsPosted by Addison Fox Feb 20 2013, 12:01 am Welcome to Day 42! Can you believe next Thursday is the last day of the Winter Writing Festival? The time has flown by incredibly quickly. Maybe too quickly. As you approach the end of the festival, perhaps you’re concerned that you’ve fallen behind on your goals. While we’re all excited at the start of a [...] Day 41, and a Happy Place Just for You!Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 19 2013, 12:12 am Happy Tuesday! For many of us, it’s time to go back to work today after a long weekend. If you’re one of those folks, I offer you this lovely cottage to dwell in, at least mentally, as you return to your workplace. Be sure to take a break for a cup of tea and a [...] Day 40, and Ursula Le Guin’s definition of “writing what you know”Posted by Elisa Beatty Feb 18 2013, 12:48 am Oh, my goodness!!! Day 40!! Just ten days of the Winter Writing Festival left! My thought for today comes from Ursula K. Le Guin, whose fantasy novels were among the first books in my childhood to fully draw me into imaginative worlds I never wanted to leave. She was talking about the “rule” insisted on [...]
