Simply put: Beth Vogt is one of my favorite people around the author world. She’s also the only person who has guested here at Tag(g)lines three times. And I didn’t even have to bribe her! Beth’s sophomore novel, Catch a Falling Star, came out this month and it’s a not-to-be-missed story, folks. The characters are heart-tugging, the plot is so …
The perils of solitude. Based on actual events.
…about the ridiculousness of this post.photo credit: stock.xchng Two weeks ago today I embarked on a slightly insane mission called “Melissa spends an entire week writing and doesn’t leave her house.” Now, here’s the thing: We’ve never really been able to figure out whether I’m an introvert or extrovert. And by we I mean me and every personality test I’ve …
Proverbs 31. Yup. Going There.
This is a field. Totally kind of relevant to the post.Photo credit: stock.xchng So, my coworker Denise—who is above all, fabulously fun to work with—told the funniest story in the office yesterday. She made a great meal for her husband the night before and in an attempt to pay her a compliment, her husband said, “Denise, you are a Psalm …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Becky Wade
Yup, Tag(g)lines is back today after a two-week break during which I wrote frantically. Like, Cookie Monster eating cookies frantically. Come to think of it, I also ate a few cookies. So the analogy works on multiple levels. Okay, we have the oh-so-wonderful Becky Wade here today! Becky’s book, My Stubborn Heart, which released around this time last year is …
Why there’s no guest post today…and what’s coming up around here.
With Rachel Hauck. Proof that we really did hang out……even if we didn’t get the guest video ready for today. Haha! Okay, so for the first time in many a Wednesday, we have no special guest today. I had actually scheduled fabulous author Rachel Hauck and we had brilliant plans to film a video interview this past weekend while we …
Hello, Leviticus.
Today I’m in Savannah hanging out with the rockin’ My Book Therapy (MBT) core team. I say rockin’ with no bias at all, of course.But seriously, I love this team. If you’re a fiction writer, MBT is THE place you need to be for craft and coaching community. In the meantime, I’m guest blogging over at Jenny Hale’s blog. About…Leviticus. And …
Why I love men.
Okay, so today’s post is not my usual devo-ish Friday post. But it’s been in the back of my head a long time. So I figured I’d finally let it out. I have to bite my tongue sometimes when I hear people talking about romance in fiction. I get that it’s not everybody’s fave. And that’s totally okay. But I …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Rachel McMillan
Sometimes in life you meet someone online or in person or wherever and you think to yourself, “Why in the world did I not know you fifteen years ago when I was the only I girl I knew who who was kind of in love with a fictional Scottish doctor? Why?” Hehehe…that person would be Rachel McMillan. Rachel is a …
Because I’m hanging out with Ollie…
…I’m disappearing from the blogosphere for a couple days. No blog post today (unless this counts) or Monday. But I’ll be back on Wednesday with a waaaay fun special guest who is writing about one of the greatest literary heroes of all time. (Nope, not Darcy…)In case you’re new around these parts, Ollie is my adorable nephew. He was born …
Welcome Mat Wednesday: Agent Amanda Luedeke
Fun stuff today! We’ve got literary agent Amanda Luedeke hanging out here today with a Q&A about her new book, The Extroverted Writer. Amanda’s pretty much the coolest agent ever. She also has really great taste in clients. Which I may or may not be saying because I happen to be one of her clients… 🙂 But seriously, Amanda is …
