Romance Writers Weekly ~ Father’s Day!

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

This week’s topic came from me! – Father’s day is this coming Sunday. Do you have a great dad memory? If not, can you make one up? We’re writers after all. My dad was a character. He was the guy with a joke, and they weren’t always “dad” jokes. He was fun and loud. Six feet three inches tall and always the life of the party. He was the middle son of three, but never suffered from middle child syndrome. We always had a good time when my dad was around. He worked in NYC when I was a kid, … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ An Ode to Furbabies!

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Welcome back. This week our topic comes from Brenda Margriet – Do you have a pet? Or have a special pet memory? Please share – and photos welcome! This is Molly Dog. She was so named because she was a rescue and came to us with the name Molly. Our cat was already named Molly, and so they became Molly Cat and Molly Dog. We lost our Molly Dog two and a half years ago, and I’m still choked up talking about this sweet loving pup. She had been the neighborhood dog and abandoned many times in Texas before she … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Writing Rituals

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Welcome in. I hope you are all well. This week Clair Brett asked, What are your pre-writing/writing rituals? For example, do you light a special candle, have a certain playlist, or a must have cup of your favorite tea before you sit down to write? What gets you in the “writing” mood? I love to sit down to write. I don’t light a candle, though I’m not opposed to the idea. I don’t have a special cup of tea, though that sounds nice too. I usually just have a glass of water and a comfy chair. I don’t like to … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ It’s a Picnic

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Warm weather is here and Leslie Hachtel says, “It’s picnic time. Share your favorite picnic recipe.” After moving to the South and then the Mid West, I have learned that pasta salad is more an east coast thing. Do you have pasta salad at your picnics and BBQs? When we lived in New Jersey, we always had a cold pasta salad and my husband makes one that is so simple and absolutely delish. I like to use the tricolor spiral pasta. It looks pretty and it hold the dressing really well, but any short pasta will work. You will need: … Continue reading →

Romance Writers Weekly ~ Spring Flowers bring…

A.S. Fenichel / Andie Fenichel Posted on by

Leslie Hachtel wants to know: What is your favorite spring flower and why? Is it the scent? A memory? The irony is not lost on me that despite being 2/3 of the way through April and writing about spring flowers, it is going to snow here in Southern Missouri today. We were just out covering all the lovely new growth on our plantings from last year. It was our first summer in the new house we built and many of our trees are young and need a little TLC. Let’s hope it’s enough. By next week it should be spring … Continue reading →
