Taking A Break

This past week has been one of those weeks that just isn't getting any better. So before I completely go off the deep end according to my hubby . . . I'm taking a four day weekend starting today. I guess between the teething baby, who has gone back to not sleeping, the teenage son not doing a think I've asked him too (Like it would be any other way), and our five year old daughter running out the front door or letting our dog out every chance she gets is taking its toll. My creative juices are completely running and hiding from me. I really don't blame them or my children from wanting a break from the vein pulsing mom. So I'm going to enjoy some of the 100 plus degree weather here in Southern Utah. Take some time to sleep in while hubby is on vacation, and maybe just relax a bit. Okay, maybe a lot. I love what I do, but I think it is important to remember to take a time out from time to time when life gets a bit crazy. Or as I have been saying lately, "Insane". I won't be hosting any writing mama's this Friday, but next week I have a special guest to share with you. So make sure to stop by next Monday for some inspiration and to see if my hubby has sent me to the nut house yet. I'm sure a lot of this is the lack of sleep because of Sabrina teething. At least things can only get better from here on out . . . Right?

Guest Post Wed: Creating Unique Characters

Too many characters in novels are too much alike. As a result, the stories and the characters' actions (and reactions) become predictable. You'd already know what would happen only a few chapters in the story!

There are way you can create characters that are different enough from each other that your readers won't get bored. Here are a few tips on how to do just that...
