I tried just about everything. In the end, I took the advice of a songwriter who said just write one sentence a day. I did that until I got through the block. I now believe that writer's block signals a transition phase of moving from writing for pleasure to writing for purpose. It's healthy so don't worry but take your time.(less)

The Final Book in Cosy Mystery Series is Released!

WOW. Four years ago when I began the St. Ives Book Club Mystery Series with Advertisement for Murder, it was a fun project that kept me busy while I was submitting my Young Adult manuscript to agents and publishers. Amateur sleuthing in small town Ontario was supposed to be a little side gig while I got on with my real writing. 
Hah! Ten books later, I learned so much and had a great time in the pr Read more of this blog post »

Worth the purchase to refer to for inspiration and direction. Disagreed with some of her critical choices but it was enjoyable regardless.
Nadine Doolittle is on page 75 of 391 of Glass Houses: Confusion is setting in. Some laughs though. Some eye rolls.

Quotes by Nadine Doolittle  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sara wasn't spooked by death, never had been. Dead bodies were reassuring once you got used to them. The body of her mother for instance--so unlike her mother in every way that all she felt about it was curiosity. Flesh became rubber. It wasn't just lifeless--a word that suggests limp or inanimate. It was beyond lifeless. To understand the power of the soul you have to see its absence. Bodies didn't bother her any more than a plant would.”
Nadine Doolittle, Iced Under

But I do not respect her," I said.

Papa paused for a moment, and patted my leg. "Then you must learn to hide your disrespect.”
Lawrence Hill, Someone Knows My Name
