A happy Easter weekend to you all!
Hello, everyone. I apologize for not checking in earlier this
week. Between singing in LDS General Conference over the weekend and doing
dress rehearsals for “The Secret Garden” at the Hale Center Theater Orem, I’ve
been pretty booked. It was a bit of a rough start for the first part of April
as far as writing goes, but I made up for it with a good writing day yesterday.
Here’s a few announcements:
I’m going to be in Ephraim Utah at the “Write Here in Ephraim”
event, teaching my class on avoiding cliché and signing books. It will be held
most of the day on Saturday April 14th at Snow College, so stop by
if you are in the area.
All the submissions for my Christmas anthology are in and there
are great things in store. I have an editor and a cover artist on board and I’m
ready to go. One of my favorites is a historical fiction piece that centers
around the legend of Good King Wenceslas.
Look for that and more this holiday season. (Sounds like I need a movie trailer voice
there.)
If you’d like to see me and many other wonderful actors and
actress’s in “The Secret Garden” you can get your tickets online at http://www.haletheater.org. The first
performances start April 13th and the show runs all the way until
June 2nd. I will be performing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
night as well as some of the Saturday matinees. (I’ll post those later). I
highly recommend you come see this one. It not only has incredible music, but a
timeless and touching story that will stay with you long after the show is
over.
Also don’t forget to check out my web serials to which I have
contributed.

Writing Tip of the Week:
It really pays to plan. I’m reading over some things that I wrote
in my early writing days when I just went for it without taking much time to
plan. I found things rambling more often than not. I don’t think there is one
true way of planning, but I think whatever works best for you is the way you
should go. I’m attending David Farland’s Million Dollar Outlines workshop this
month, so I’m sure I’ll have more to say on the subject later.
Writing Update:
Wandaful is finished! I see that one as a series, but I’m not sure
exactly how long yet. I’m going to let that one sit for a week before taking it
up again so that it has time to ‘simmer’.
Now I’m just wondering what to do next. I have several options, and I’m
not sure which one would be best. I’ll be sure to let you all know.
‘Til I see you again, write bravely and live well!
Hi! Is that a photo of you singing during conference? SO COOL! Congratulations on all the writing projects you're succeeding at- this was a very inspiring post. PS I still LOVE the Canticle Kingdom. And I love my signed copy.
Yep, this was during Conference. What a wonderful experience!
