Blogging Away

Because I'm committed to three blogs on a regular basis, sometimes it's difficult to decide what to write about.

As a mystery writer, my main concern at the moment is coming up with an idea for a mystery.

I have lots of other things on my plate too including the usual housekeeping chores, though I do confess to paying my daughter-in-law for doing the majority of them, and the laundry.

I am very involved in promotion at the moment, doing a virtual blog tour and making a number of appearances, which all cut into my writing time. I'll be comparatively free in December and January, wonder how much I'll be able to get done then?

I don't have a laptop so can't take one along to work on--but I've been known to do plenty of writing on a legal pad--in fact, often start a book that way. Deciding upon characters and their names, what importance they'll have to the story, etc.

On Thursday, I'm flying to Phoenix and then attending a writers' conference in Scottsdale where I'll be presenting on Creating Memorable Characters and Setting as Character. I also get to introduce the keynote speaker, David Morrell and I'm looking forward to meeting him.
