I would love to visit Rivendell to walk among their magnificent structures, listen to their music, and converse with their elders. I'd love to become one of the Dragonriders of Pern, or captain a Liveship in the Realm of the Elderlings, but if I had to choose just one, I would travel to Azimara, dine with the Etah'yu, partake in their sacred Song of Seven Seasons ceremony, and learn the magic of the Light Masters to traverse worlds and travel to other realms and other times. Until then, I will just have to visit them in my dreams.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I take a time out from the book I'm working on / having trouble with, go to iTunes and create a soundtrack for my book as if it were a movie. I focus in on orchestral pieces that embody or support the "feel" of the story arc and add a more modern tune at the beginning and end (ala credit roll song).

This helps to clear my mind--concentrating on something that is not writing but still creative-- and then when I return to the book I have a fresh perspective AND a soundtrack to play while I'm writing that is wonderfully inspiring. It works every time! Try it! You'll be amazed! Envisioning your book as a movie helps in other ways too. Thinking in the visual mode makes for great, concise descriptive passages and snappy/lively dialogue. And, of course, it is a lot of fun!

How to be the Hero of your Own Story – Part Two

Our life is your story. Your choices are your path. Don’t let someone else choose for you. Take the lead. Be your own hero!

As a writer and a student of human nature, I have the on-going pleasure of studying the many different aspects of life, our world, and its varied characters. One of the most fascinating of these is our culture’s archetypes, and heroes are arguably one of the most enduring and Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Elayne Gineve James (?)

“There is a world unbound by time and the constraints of consciousness. Our access to this world is limited only by the fences of our perception, the scope of our imagination, and the quality of our vision. It is in this place magic is born."
Xephero ~ Tome of the Light Masters”
