#1lineWed

I've been enjoying the Twitter hashtag #1lineWed for a while now. An RWA romantic suspense chapter asks writers to post one line from a book they are currently writing in the genre. Each week there is a theme. Today's was "action". One week it was "dialogue". I've loved reading the clever tweets written by other writers as well.

Here are a few lines I've posted over the weeks from Sarah's Second Chance, my romantic mystery.

1. Looking out the store window, I glimpsed flecks of white confetti-like stuff swirling through the sky. 

2. Greyson was standing there in his finery, donning a slick fedora dusted with snow.

3. “How was school?”
“Not good.”
“What happened?”
"This kid tried to cut my finger off with safety scissors.” 

4. As the sun set in Siletz Bay, we watched the ships sail in the distance.

5. We bellied up to the buffet. Vats of steak, penne pasta, pineapple cubes, tubs of jello and chocolate pudding seduced us. #1lineWed

Writing Inspiration

I just answered this reader question over at Goodreads and thought I would post my answer here as well. If you write, what inspires you? How do you get inspired to write? M.J. GreenwayThere are so many times when I'm inspired by something I've read or watched on TV. For example, I remember reading Gone Girl and yearning to be able to one day write a book that well crafted.
That said, most of the writing time isn't about inspiration, it's just about writing most days and seeing where you get. I write an outline and start with a few characters and conflicts and an idea for an ending. As days pass, more details occur to me and snowball into a full fledged story over time. Walks or bike rides can help too.
For my romantic mysteries, Sarah Starting Over and Greyson Starting Over, I wanted to write about parenting and grief and my friend urged me to write about a disabled character. Because of my childhood love of Murder She Wrote, I also wanted to try my hand and writing a mys…

Bachelor in Paradise

I admit to watching a few episodes of Bachelor in Paradise. It's purely for research purposes. Lol. I just don't understand Amanda's bad taste in men who moan loudly on camera when they kiss. And also, now I want to read Andi's book about their break-up. What is your reality show guilty pleasure?
