Romance Writers Weekly ~ Where For Art Thou Muse…

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

This week the blog hoop is all about: How do you stay creative? How do you feed your muse? What tips and tricks do you recommend to stay in the creative zone? I wish I could tell you I have a magic candle or a special chair and the moment I light it or sit in it, I’m transported to a place where my muse is singing loud and proud. Alas, that is not the case. Some days are very hard. Some days I have to give myself a break. Then there are days when I have to push through … Continue reading →

Welcome back! Sorry for the long gap, but life sometimes has to take president. I hope you are all well and ready for a silly little blog to get back in the groove. This week’s HOP question is: What’s in your fridge right now? No cheating! Okay, so we were away last weekend and I haven’t been to the grocery store yet. I have a few apples, oranges, a lemon, and two limes. I have some precooked ground meat for tacos. We’ll use that tonight. There’s half and half and creamer for our coffee. Diet coke and diet ginger ale … Continue reading →

Last week we talked about rejection and that’s difficult, but you can toughen up and get through a rejection moment.

Welcome back. How about a little honesty? This week’s question is… How do you handle it when your work is rejected? The path to publication is fraught with rejection. to make it in this business, you must have a pretty thick skin. The funny thing is, most writers, as artists, are naturally sensitive. Now, let’s talk about me. LOL I have been writing with the hope of publication for about 32 years. I know, “she looks so young.” Hahaha… When I first started sending my work to editors and agents there was very little self-publishing. It was considered a failure … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Oh, That Smell…

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Welcome back. I was away at a conference and the last two weeks have been crazy with book releases and preparation. I’m thrilled to be back in the saddle. We have a great question today: Tell us about your favorite scent and what it evokes for you. When my husband and I went on our honeymoon in Italy, we drove from Florence to the small mountain village where his family is from. We had a lovely day meeting the mayor and some people who knew his family. We saw the home where his grandmother grew up and got copies of … Continue reading →
