Jennifer Meinking is a small business owner who wears many hats, including mama to nine incredible kids. When her oldest children were small, she transitioned from an online boutique to a website optimization business, which she owned and operated until the demand became too great for her growing family. It was not long before she found her entrepreneurial spirit needed an outlet, leading her to start a direct selling business that she still maintains. When her dormant inner author demanded a "seat at the table," she simply scooched over and made a little more room. Often mislabeled a "supermom," Jennifer is merely a doggedly determined woman with an overactive imagination, a thirst for adventure, and a life that is rarely boring. Visit her ...more

If imagination…moreWhen I don't know how to get my characters from point A to point B without becoming trite or boring, I imagine where I want them to go. If imagination fails me, I turn to research. If knowledge fails me, I turn to trusted friends who understand the plot. There are several plot holes or snags that close friends, or even my oldest daughter, have helped me to push through with suggestions for resolving inconsistencies. Just last night, a good friend's teenage son, a well-read individual himself, came up with a solution for a major plot hole that I had been sitting on for at least a week and a half. If trusted counsel fails me, I step away for a time to clear my mind. I may do this through prayer, reflection, turning my attention elsewhere, or even reading another book. It may take minutes to overcome writer's block. It may take weeks. It always helps to know where I am going with a story. With a destination in sight, it is much easier to plan the route. Sometimes, writer's block is simply the result of losing your excitement or passion for what you're writing. In those cases, you just need a little spark, usually from an outside source, to grab that back. (less)

As a child and young adult, I used to believe that my propensity to spin tales for myself or other people was a weakness, an escape. As I have grown and matured, I realized that stories and storytelling are a wonderful way to connect with other human souls. Not an escape, but a doorway into things deeper and richer than the mundane things that we oft allow to steal our joy ... even necessary things like bills and laundry. We all have a voice, a message. It's our choice to let it be heard or not. And many times, how we choose to speak makes all the difference. I love to weave life lessons into my stories, that I may share what I have learned in a non-threatening way that is so often more effective than simply speaking it in "so many words."(less)
