- My favorite above all else is brainstorming a book with other writers. It is the best! I love to sit around table and be in the midst of all that creative energy. It just doesn't get any better than that.
- I love meeting/interacting with readers, especially when they share that something I wrote affected their lives in a positive way. What a blessing that is.
- And I love when the story I'm writing invades my sleep, when I place my head on the pillow and my last thoughts are about my characters.
Care to see how I'm picturing some of the characters in this book? Like many other writers, I often use the photographs of actors to help me. Here are five of key characters from my WIP:
Now, I'm so excited to let the readers of Writes of Passage in on some fabulous news. We are doubling the number of authors who blog here each month. Each day this week, we will be revealing one of our new authors.
It's my pleasure to get to introduce Lynn Austin.
Lynn is a former teacher who now writes and speaks full time, has won eight (Count them! Eight!) Christy Awards for her historical fiction. One of those novels, Hidden Places, has also been made into a Hallmark Channel movie. Lynn and her husband have raised three children and make their home near Chicago, Illinois.
Welcome, Lynn, to Writes of Passage. We're so delighted you're here.

More authors?? How exciting! Welcome Lynn!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek into your writing world, Robin. ~ More authors on my FAVORITE blog?! Wow--exciting news! And I'm thrilled to learn that Lynn Austin is one of them. I don't know her personally, but have heard she's an amazing author. (*But....have you all "warned" these incoming authors about our closeness on this blog?!* LOL). We will certainly welcome them and try to behave ourselves *wink*. Hugs, Patti Jo
ReplyDeleteCatherine and Patti Jo, I can hardly wait for each of the posts to go up this week so that you'll discover the authors who are joining us here.
ReplyDeleteOh, and we assured all of the new gals that this was a quiet and well-behaved group of blog readers. (It's only Tammy we have trouble with. Right?)
Yeap...Tammy is the only one we have trouble with. Is she going to start behaving?
ReplyDeleteAnd is that asking too much? :-P
Catherine,
ReplyDeleteNo ...
And yes ...
Hey Robin! I'm so excited about hearing from more authors on WOP. Welcome, Lynn!

ReplyDeleteSo glad Lynn is here now. But do not let that precious little prim and proper smile fool you. The woman is a wild cat! And just wait until you see who else is joining us... Oh, are we gonna have fun. I'll introduce another fun gal tomorrow!
Robin, loved seeing your characters! Praying for your writing.

Welcome, Lynn! I'm a day late and a dollar short with my welcome, but I'm thrilled to have you join the Writes of Passage blog. I know you'll be a wonderful addition to the group.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Lynn! It will be a pleasure to meet you! I have read and own several of your books! Love, Love Love them!
ReplyDeleteWe're a wacky bunch here so hold on to your hat! ;-)
Thank you so much, everyone, for the warm welcome. I'm really looking forward to joining all my favorite authors on this blog and meeting some new friends, too. Tammy, thanks a lot for "outting" me as a "wild cat." I guess I have no more secrets, now.
