On Tuesday, August 19th, I'm the guest blogger on Terry O'Dell's blg. Find out what the strangest thing I did in the name of research, what kitchen utensil I would be, and what's on my desk? If you like to read about the writing life, this will be the place. See you then! Terry's Place
And more news: My latest novel, Festival Madness, is only 99 cents as an ebook on Amazon from August 17 - August 24th. Writing as Judith Copek. The novel is partially set at the Burning Man Festival as well as in Boston and the Adirondaks, and in honor of Burning Man I'm offering an ebook everyone can afford--one week only.
Stop by Terry's blog and grab a copy of Festival Madness for your e-reader and we'll be BFF.
Sorry to have neglecting this blog, but I've been writing and more writing and hosting endless company and cooking up a storm and gardening--all not conducive to blogging. You can also read my Proust blog at Reading Proust in Foxborough.

Judith Copek Interviewed on Dames of Dialog
Here is the link: Judy's Interview
Readers and often writers profess a fascination with "the writing life." Every writer is different, but there are certain procedures many of us follow.
Plotting for example. Did you know there are pantsers and plotters? Pantsers write by the seat of their pants with no outline and often not knowing where their story is heading. Plotters, on the other hand, have an (often) detailed outline of the story before they sit down to write. Of course many of them stray from the outline, just as some pantsers will decide to jot down on outline in the middle of their story.
By outline, we don't mean I, A, i, a etc., although one could do that. A writer's outline could be story notes, a narrative, a spreadsheet, even stickies in sequence.
I usually know the beginning, the ending and some key scenes in the story, then I string them together and come up with many more scenes. As I write, I can see a bit further into the details of the future, and as I write, I get to know my characters. Every writer does it differently.
Festival Madness was published after the interview was already complete.
