Back to My Roots of Writing - "Return to the Red Cliff Motel" will be Released by Musa in November
After a long absence of writing what I know...I have returned to psychological thrillers.
I am thrilled to announce that my latest novella - "Return to the Red Cliff Motel" is being published by Musa. It will be available in November.
Small thrills come in mysteriously small packages.
While this novella is basically a long-short story; it is action packed and will have the reader on the edge of their seat. Or so I hope.
After taking a walk on the commercial side, I found that romances were not my favorite genre. Especially writing something I was uncomfortable with. Going back to psychological thrillers was like coming home. Home to insanity, madness, nightmares, secret pasts, religious icons, hidden clues - now that is home.

I want to write! I don't want to Post Insurance Claims! How do you a survive emotional/writing crisis?
How much time do you carve out for writing? How much time writing is spent on money making ventures?
I am at my cubical, 6 am…two hours have passed as I have processed insurance claims. While doing such mindless work, my mind soars and sours. As the seconds tick to the sound of my ten-key; I wish, desperately, that I were working on my latest book or writing an article.
Sneaking, I write a piece for my blog. I don’t know if anyone is reading, I hope so. I pray that someone is connecting with my words, and thoughts.
Does anyone out there in Blogsphere feel the pain of pent up labor chains? Do you want to escape at any cost? What, besides the obvious need for money, keeps you in your job?
Write back and engage…I know I’m not alone. I yearn to write more than emails.

Friday, A Long Week and Nothing to Show for it
Working in the real world can take more energy and zap all creativity. I am emotionally and physically an empty vessel with no way to express myself. Even as I blog, I search for meaningful phrases or temptors thought to progress my writing...Nothing!
I have submitted two hubs, have started a short story, and written two articles. I have made a triumphant return to Allvoices.com this week. After an absense of two months, I felt the need to make a bit of green for my work.
Any suggestions or comments on other so-called writing sites would be appreciated from my blogging audience.
I would love to post the adventures of writing by those that throw themselves out there everyday.
As for me...it is 5:15 am on Friday...I have been at work since 3:30 am - going to bed at midnight. I will sit in my cubical and post insurance until my writing takes off.
Tell me about you.
What do you do in order to write?
