My brain just starts opening up to the process of storytelling and dialogue. Sometimes I intentionally roll a problem spot or character over in my mind before going to sleep. I wake up with the solution.(less)

I think that's why a lot of writers write, to answer questions and mysteries in their own lives. For me, I have several. One I'd like to solve is how to find 2 of my ancestor's birth, marriage, and death documents. They should somehow exist, but no one has found them. Then, I'd like to prove or disprove who they really were. Generations later, it's really hard to do even for a professional genealogist if the documents haven't been found. Another mystery I'd like to solve is what happened to a 4X great uncle. Why did he die? And why can't I find the mother of his child? I really want to dig into that story. I think some of the information is there just waiting to be found.(less)

Living a Valuable Life

What do you want to be when you grow up? We all heard that question over and over from the time we could talk.

The problem with the question is that we’re led to believe there’s only one answer. I thought I’d only want to be a writer. A writer of books and only books. Book writers are authors, and authors were something special. I clamored for that goal. I had no idea how constraining that box beca

Angela Breidenbach, The Mail-Order Standoff: 4 Historical Stories

“Don’t stare at the overwhelming. That’ll get you stuck faster than two bucks locking antlers during the rut. Near impossible to get free. Just do the next thing right and keep goin’. The good Lord will take care of the rest.”
Angela Breidenbach, The Mail-Order Standoff: 4 Historical Stories

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.”
Graham Greene, Ways of Escape

“When I type a title page, I hold it and I look at it and I think, I just need four thousand sentences to go with this and I’ll have a book.”
Betsy Byars, The Moon and I

Angela Breidenbach This week has been a lot of debating about cat comedy photos for the upcoming "An A-Muse-ing Calendar" with fe-lion funnies, humorous chats between Muse & Writer. It'll release in October 2020 for next year, 2021. I'm so close on the photo choices. But if you have a favorite of the often posted snippets on Facebook, be sure to chime in. Now comes writing the comedy. Shh, yes, it's really me behind Muse and Writer ;) But don't tell him. Muse thinks he does all the talking.


Angela Breidenbach Ah, thanks Sally! Muse has really added another dimension to my writing life, that's for sure, lol. :D
So glad we connected here.
Angie

Sally Chambers Thanks for the Goodreads friendship, Angela. Muse is wonderful. I love the "headshot" photo!

Blessings,
Sally


Angela Breidenbach Thank you to My Buckling Bookshelf for listing my book as one you want to read in the Christian Fiction Devourers discussion group on New Authors. I'm very honored to be on your TBR list :)
