And here it is Sunday once again. Odd how that seems to happen every week about this time, isn’t it? Oh, well … odd or not, it’s time for taking a look at what’s been going on at #StoryEmpire and on Sally Cronin’s #Smorgasbord blog. As usual, it’s great stuff! See for yourselves!
MONDAY: Beem Weeks gets things rolling with his very helpful post entitled Show Don’t Tell. He’s got some great tips and reminders for you, so be sure to check it out HERE.
WEDNESDAY: Mae Clair’s mid-week post is entitled Ebooks and Libraries #Libby #KindleReading, and shares information on what sounds to me like a wonderful app everyone should consider downloading. Check out Mae’s post HERE.
FRIDAY: D. Wallace Peach wraps up the week with Part 2 of her wonderful series on Crafting Rich Characters. She focuses on three different aspects that need to be considered and how to mix them up so the folks who people your books are realistic and believable. Check it out HERE.
As always, Sally’s Smorgasbord Weekly RoundUp post is filled to the brim with great stuff. Cooking, music, books, videos, you name it! Head on over to be sure you haven’t missed anything this week.

And there you have it for this week!
Happy Reading!
Thanks for sharing the Story Empire posts, Marcia, and of course, Sally’s roundup is full of great posts. Have an awesome Sunday, my friend!

You are most welcome, Diana. It’s a pleasure to pass these great posts along. And I’m hoping to … brace yourself … WRITE today, while Mark finishes laying the new floor in the guest room. Yes, you heard it here first. I have cleared enough of that blasted COVID brain-fog out of my head to give writing a go again. And I’m happy to say, Cole, Cole, & Dupree is underway at last!! Can’t think of a better way to spend the next few hours, and am SO looking forward to getting this novella “out there!”
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your Sunday is a lovely one, too! 😀 ❤

I missed that you’d caught the virus, Sally! Yikes. I’m so glad to hear that you’re feeling better, and well enough to write. That’s a wonderful milestone in your recovery. Enjoy yourself, my friend. ❤

I don’t know whether Sally caught it or not (haven’t read that anywhere), but I sure did, and since it’s my comment you’re responding to, I’m gonna go with you having typed “Sally” by mistake. (Hehehe.) Yes, I had it, yet again. But it’s pretty much gone, and I DO feel like writing. I’m so excited to be working on another Rabbit story, and he’s really eager to tell me what’s happening on the Ridge. 😀 And I’m just as eager to get back to a new joint venture with Rabbit, Mac, and Austin Dupree. Investigative Services, indeed! 😊😊😊

Oh, I don’t know what I did there, Marcia. And I’m not even going to try figure it out! LOL. You got it again?! You poor thing. What a mess this whole pandemic has been. Well, I’m glad you’re well and ready to write. Hugs.

Not to worry. I do that kind of thing all the time lately. (Doh!) And yep. In spite of both shots last spring, a round of breakthrough COVID, and a booster shot, I got it again. Still very lucky, though. A really mild case with fatigue being by far the worst symptom. Dragged on for just over four weeks, but seems to be mostly gone now, knock wood. No more falling asleep standing up, anyway. 😂 And my energy level is almost normal, so I’m playing catch up with all the things I missed while going through it. But, as we all know, it could have been much, much worse, so I’m still a happy camper. (I typed “hamper” first. Hmmm. Might have to keep that one in mind for future use.)😁 ❤

Covid has been raging in Florida, so keep yourself safe. And “hamper” cracked me up. I’m often closing my comments with “my fiend,” and wincing as I hit send. Lol

Hahahaha. I’ll keep that in mind if you ever do it with me, and try not to be insulted. At least, not the FIRST time. 😂
