Romance Writers Weekly ~ Pick Your Season

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Welcome back to the HOP. It’s creeping out of winter and into the spring. Is this your favorite season? If not, which one is and why. Spring is good. I like to see nature come back to life. If I’m honest, and I usually am, I love summer. I love the heat and how everyone is outside. I love how green everything is and the way the Ozarks dip and rise with shadows and light. I love the beaches in my home state of New Jersey and growing vegetables. I love that I can pick fresh herbs from my garden … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Banish the Comfort Zone

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

This is a super fun one this week. It’s all about trying new things. What was the last NEW thing you tried? Was it a writing in a new genre, tense or something else? It could be skydiving, eating haggis for the first time, meditating at a Buddhist monastery, or really anything at all. Did you learn anything? I have two things to share: At the end of last year, I started writing in first person present tense for the first time. AND I LOVE IT! Years ago, I had read some first person and not loved it, but as … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Pet Show and Tell!

Welcome back. I asked the group: Do you have a pet? Let’s see pictures. If not, what would imagine is the perfect pet for you and why? Molly Cat is a funny cat. She’s not super friendly, though she loves me. She doesn’t like to be snuggled, but she loves to lay on my lap and be petted. Sometimes, she’s had enough petting and yells at me then runs away. We rescued her when she was very small, but she’s still afraid of everything. I mean everything… If you leave your shoe in the middle of the floor, she’ll cautiously … Continue reading →

Romance Writer Weekly ~ Take My Breath Away

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

I’m happy you’re back. This week’s question: Is there a place that takes your breath away? Does any particular landscape give you a feeling of joy and inspiration that no other place can? Do you have pictures? There’ are so many places that have moved me to joy and tears. The mountains, the ocean, Yosemite National Park, The Roman Forum, the rainbows on Maui, or the ocean boiling as the volcano erupted on Hawaii. I could go on and on… I think the views in Sorrento, Italy are my favorite. It was so perfect, and it was my honeymoon. That … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Inspiration!

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

I had a lovely vacation in Key West. I’m home safe and all of us are healthy. We kept it low key, but I enjoyed a wonderful visit to Ernest Hemingway’s house (with masks). It was wonderful with so many cats! They have 58 right now. All named and cared for by a private veterinarian who is on staff there. It was beautiful and inspiring. However, that’s not the answer to this week’s question. Ernest is a bit dark and troubled for inspiration. Here’s the question: Who inspires you? Maybe it’s Beyoncé, Abraham Lincoln, or your mom. Think about why … Continue reading →
