Why Are You Doing That? Why? Why is the sky blue? Why do I have to get up today? Why am I doing this? Why. A simple 3 letter word that can drive us crazy. For instance when my kids were toddlers and asked why every second about things I had no clue how to…Read More

2 weeks ago by lainaturner Day 10 of #cozymysterymay my favorite TV sleuth.⁣ ⁣ I have to go with a throwback to the '80s when I'd watch TV with my mom. ⁣ ⁣ Magnum PI. While at the time I didn't understand my mother's fascination with Tom Selleck and his famous mustache even as a kid I enjoyed the back and forth between him and Higgins.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife #createeveryday #writerscommunity #words #writersofig #creativelifehappylife #midlife #mycreativebiz #wordsmith #writingcommunity #creativityfound #midlife #midlifefabulous
2 weeks ago by lainaturner Day 8 of #cozymysterymay is about my favorite cozy trope. My favorite one is the one I write. ⁣ ⁣ Amateur sleuth who just happens to come across murders and mayhem and reluctantly gets involved. ⁣ ⁣ This amateur sleuth is smart though and solves the mystery quicker than anyone else can.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife #createeveryday #writerscommunity #words #writersofig #creativelifehappylife #midlife #mycreativebiz #wordsmith #writingcommunity #creativityfound #midlife #midlifefabulous
2 weeks ago by lainaturner Day 7 of #cozymysterymay is about my writing schedule. I have my ideal schedule and what my schedule actually is.⁣ ⁣ My goal is to write at least 2000 words a day.

The stress of deadlines though makes
3 weeks ago by lainaturner Day 6 of #cozymysterymay the topic is pantser or plotter. I wish I were a hardcore plotter, but it's just not me, Which makes writing much harder.⁣ ⁣ I start with an idea and write until I get stuck. Then I go back and reverse outline and try to fill in all the holes. ⁣ ⁣ Every new book I start I swear I'm going to plot and that goal lasts about 5 minutes.⁣ ⁣ What can I say? It's my process:)⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife
2 weeks ago by lainaturner Day 9 of #cozymysterymay ⁣ ⁣ Nothing says cozy to my like coffee but for cozy settings, I love the small town setting where all the important people know each other, but there are enough newcomers to keep things interesting. And of course, no one pays attention to the fact people die on a regular basis from foul play.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #author #authorsofinstagram #writer #authors #writing #imagine #writers #writers #writersofinstagram #writerslife #storyteller #creativewriting #write #writingwarriorscollective #creativelife #authorlife #createeveryday #writerscommunity #words #writersofig #creativelifehappylife #midlife #mycreativebiz #wordsmith #writingcommunity #creativityfound #midlife #midlifefabulous
