• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Group Projects

  Posted at 7:19 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on March 6, 2019

  

  Group Projects

  Here we are at Tuesday again. Can we pretend this got posted on Tuesday? I fell behind yesterday and forgot to go back to proof this post. I need to plan better. LOL.

  Yesterday’s idea originated when I visited one of my Facebook groups. This group came together months ago. We’re authors who write in a variety of genres. We’re self-published, hybrid published, and traditionally published. We write with different heat levels from sweet to spicy hot. Why am I telling you this? Well, because there are over one hundred of us taking part in a group project. Sorry for being vague, but we aren’t saying a lot about this project yet.

  My point for using Group Projects for my title and inspiration for my muse is because working on a project with a group can be fun and beneficial. (And maybe a little stressful.) Think of the exposure a group of authors can provide. For my November release, imagine the promotion with this large group of over one hundred. I’m looking forward to publishing this book. No, I’m down-right excited!  ❤

  It’s inspirational and exciting when a member will post a cover image of their book, or tell us they finished their book. You know they’re champing at the bit to release it. They inspire me to have my cover made.

  When this project came into existence, it inspired me to breathe life into a book I had started many years ago in a different genre than what I write now. However, nothing is the same except the hero’s name. LOL. The original idea sits back and waits for me to, one day, use that storyline.

  I’d like to take part in more group projects because of their inspiration and encouragement.

  Multi-author anthologies and boxed sets usually entail writing shorter stories, and we all know I struggle with finding the time to pull away from a current work in progress, and writing short. This project allows us to write whatever length we want. We aim to please. 💙

  Of course, we’ll have a logo on the books to make them easy to find and to stand out as part of the group, and we’ll have a website.

  Authors, how do you feel about taking part in an anthology, boxed set, or group project? What inspires you to do this?

  ---

  Instead of coming up with ideas for weekly Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse posts, which I’m not good at, anyway, I’ll start posting for this topic monthly. I’ll have to brainstorm ways to fill in this spot so there isn’t a long gap between my posts. I won’t make promises because, hey, I have books to write and a business to run. Thanks for reading.

  Obviously, the two western looking images are hints at the location for my setting in the aforementioned book.

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: One, Two, Three, Four~Publish

  Posted at 9:26 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 26, 2019

  

  Over the weekend while praying 55 mph winds didn’t take down trees surrounding me, crush my comfy abode, and smash my car, I caught up on a few newsletters. You know the ones filled with book ads? The same ones I use to promote my books.

  The lists of other books inspired me. After viewing them, all I wanted to do was get back to writing my current work in progress. One finished draft (except for the ending) is on the back burner to rest. This was the perfect time to continue another one, and lo-and-behold, the words are spilling out of my head.

  I had started this book earlier, but I didn’t want to work on two books, so I let it sit after writing around 10,000 words. Now I’m up to over 22,000. Ranch matriarch Judy and her family are raring to get their book out there.

  Another thing inspiring me this week, happened while reading group posts from authors who have three or four series books ready to publish via rapid release, and others finishing a series for a rapid release.

  I have high praise for authors who do this. Congratulations to every one of you.

  How do you wait though? When I have a book edited, formatted, and ready, I want and NEED my baby published. If I waited to write three or four books before publishing, I’d starve to death and end up on the street. What am I missing?

  

  As I think about this, I might have an opportunity to at least write a prequel to a book due out in November and release them close together. This upcoming book could become a series. Authors, does it make sense to write a prequel to a book that won’t be a series?

  I’m a full-time writer, but I can’t get books written quickly unless I set the word count at around 30 to 35,000 words. My readers are used to longer books from me. I’d like to write shorter books.

  Yes, this is inspiring, but scary too. If this is the way publishing is going now, I’m in trouble. However, I don’t think it’s right for me.

  I say, do what works best for you.

  This week, I thought with so much inspiration from other authors surrounding me, I could write a short post to fit into my Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse spot. This is it. Keep on keeping on, y’all, and Happy Writing and Reading.

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Thanksgiving U.S.A.

  Posted at 3:02 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on November 20, 2018

  

  What can be more inspirational than to share in giving thanks. I might not have a chance later to wish all of you who celebrate the season a happy holiday. So, I’m posting this heartfelt greeting early by saying Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

  To those of you in other countries and to those of you who don’t celebrate, I’m thankful to have you here to share not only my “heartfelt” thanks for reading my posts, but to also thank you for your visits, comments, and Reblogs.

  Some of you have been with me the entire eleven years of blogging on WordPress. I’m grateful for all of you, and for those of you who may pop in unexpectedly. (not the spammers) Thanks!

  Love and appreciate what you have.

  May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door. ~Irish Toast

  Be safe in whatever it is you will be doing this week and weekend.

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Welcoming Fresh Autumn Air While Capturing Colorful Landscapes

  Posted at 2:22 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on November 6, 2018

  

  Well, isn’t that a long title now.  ☺

  One thing I love about autumn is walking in the fresh air and viewing colorful landscapes.

  

  Another thing is having a camera with me. Lately, I haven’t been walking alone so conversations keep my muse from focusing. She sneaks out sometimes. I’m happy when she finds her way through the chatter. However, my muse works in mysterious ways like stopping me when leaves filled with raindrops lay in my path. I stop a moment to use my phone to snap pictures.

  

  

  It’s hard for those who don’t take pictures, to be with a person who stops without warning, to take a picture. Sometimes this bothers me that others don’t get it. Other times, I don’t care. Photography is my hobby, and there are times it calls as much as writing. For the past few years, I haven’t given in to the photography nudge because writing takes precedence. My camera bag sits in my closet and the DSLR camera hasn’t been out for a couple years. However, my little point and shoot went with me on a day trip last week. So did the chilly rain. And wind. The camera remained in the car. LOL. I took one picture with my phone while walking Main Street in a quaint little town a few hours from where I live. One is better than…none? Hmm?

  

  While walking alone, ideas for a current WIP can come into focus or new storylines pop into my head for something brand-new. I usually prefer to walk alone for this reason, but I have a friend who recently started walking. She uses a walker. Good for her! It’s encouraging having another person urging me to get out from under my laptop, literally, and move my behind. If she can get out and walk, then I damn well better get out there and do it, too. My doctor would be so proud.

  

  For those of you who made it to the end, thanks for reading. I appreciate every visit from you. Now, back to the keyboard. Enjoy the rest of your week.

  What are some ways you’re inspired to use your craft?

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Fear

  Posted at 9:51 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 26, 2018

  

  Thought I’d share this image and note of inspiration with you all today.

   

  *Let your dreams be bigger than your fears.

   

  In my opinion, fear steals from us. It does steal strength from me. There are fears I don’t mention, and sometimes they do stand in the way of moving forward to make some of my dreams come true. Regardless, I do my best to keep fear away from my creativity. Otherwise, I might never create. (Remember, my muse carries a lasso and knows how to use it.)

  Fear can be inspiring, especially if you’re a stubborn soul like me, so yes, sometimes it drives me. Sometimes it keeps me safe.

   

  There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart’s controls. ~Aeschylus

   

  Do you let some fears stand in your way? Am I alone in this?

  There are other fears I overcome like when I’m ready to publish a book. Fear and nerves rule me for a few days before and up to the day of publication when I hit publish with a shaky finger.

  Authors and other creatives, do you feel the nerves and maybe a tinge of fear of what happens after your baby goes out into the world?

  Oh, there are other fears I can accept. Let’s use “change.” I know I need change in my life and have learned to deal with what comes. That doesn’t mean I always like it, but I accept. Deal. Live with it. Albeit, I’ve had plenty of major changes in the past decade. Well, longer than a decade to teach me this.

  How about you? Do you think about change or take the “whatever happens, happens” path?

   

  “Let your dreams be BIGGER than your fears.”

   

  Is it safe to say this is easier said than done? However, I believe it’s a great goal to work toward and consciously strive to let our dreams be bigger than our fears.

  #WritersLife

   

  *I’m unsure who to credit for the quote. I’ve found a longer version of this quote with two different names as the author and also as “unknown.” I’ll leave it as it is for now. If someone knows who wrote it, please let me know.

  Enjoy your summer!

• #AmWriting Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Libraries, Bookstores, Reading, and More

  Posted at 9:01 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 5, 2018

  

  I Ask Myself:

  What Contributed to fulfilling a Lifelong Dream?

   

  I’m sure it all started with the library and reading. For as long as I remember, I loved the books themselves as much as what I found inside of them. I knew… It seems like forever that I knew my name would be on books one day. Maybe the idea stayed in my head on purpose. Did I keep the thought there on my own accord so I wouldn’t give up the dream? If not, why and how did it continue to nag at me until I did something about it as a grown woman with a family? It doesn’t matter—the dream or calling came true.

  

  Pixabay

  My parents fought a lot. Reading, and writing poetry helped me to escape the noise. As a young child, outside of school I didn’t have many kids to play with while growing up in Detroit. There were no kids in my neighborhood. Brothers and cousins were my friends and playmates—all males by the way. It was no wonder I grew up a tomboy starting out reading comics and climbing trees with my youngest brother.

  It wasn’t until we moved to a suburb while in third or fourth grade, that I had kids in my neighborhood and developed friendships, a boyfriend, and my first kiss at around eleven. Haha. As a youngster, I’d walk to my small-town library as often as I could. Then magic happened when I grew old enough to drive. I took myself to larger libraries and bookstores.

  

  Pixabay

  My toddlers grew into youngsters and they always accompanied me to bookstores and libraries, and they were encouraged to go as young adults. Today, only one of my boys will read a novel. The other one reads more technical kinds of things like magazines/blogs to feed his own interests. One of them used to write poetry, but I don’t think he has time anymore. I’m glad in a way because his poetry, like much of mine, stemmed from sad happenings in his life like a broken heart, for instance.

  

  Without having the opportunity of having books at hand at a young age, who knows if my dream of writing books would’ve come true? I like to believe it’s more than libraries and books that brought out the writer, but the combination and the life experiences dished out to me, both good and bad, along with perseverance, a calling, or what have you, contributed to fulfilling a lifelong dream.

  So, what do you think?

• #AmWriting Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Completion and Friends

  Posted at 9:55 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on May 1, 2018

  

  Well, now. What is my inspiration for the muse today? As I started writing this, I hoped the precise reason would come to me, and I’d have real inspiration for posting under this Tuesday theme. It took writing this entire post before it came to me…

  Completion. Pride. Relief. Stress.

  Yep, it’s all four of those bundled into one. Completion and its friends.

  I’m not finished. I’m a chapter away from writing the end to a first draft on a still untitled book. Therefore, completion, pride, and relief came in. I feel like jumping up and clicking my heels together for being close to completion. Now I have a dilemma. I’ve been faced with this before, but I don’t think I ever came this far before choosing a title. Oh, except for Of the Cowboy’s Own Accord. I wrote about it here. To be honest, I had this difficulty with Hey, Cowboy, too. Must I remind myself?

  This is where the stress comes in. Stress, as bad as it is, makes me determined not to be satisfied with any old title, and to strive to come up with the perfect title.

  However, for now, here I sit again. Out of four possible titles, one of them is the one I’ve been leaning toward. I wanted this one. Now, I want to kick and scream! Waah waah. Sob. Cry. Pout.

  Quiet, crybaby. Yesterday before writing this, I found the same title on another romance published less than a year ago.  😦  Drats. It’ll be hard to reword this four-word title to get the same meaning.

  Another choice is from a line I wrote in the book—part of something my heroine says and using that one would put a keyword in the title. So far, there is no book with this title. This is the heroes story though. Should my title reflect something the heroine says? It’s a good title, but longer than what I’d like. Of course, the story is hers, too, and she has her own difficulties to overcome. It might work. I could write Wade’s Story. Hahahaha. Not. I believe there are titles with only his name, anyway.

  The third one sounds more like a travel book than a romance title, but I love it, too, because it fits. My cover designer might work with this title for the design. (I know her so well now.) This one was my first title choice and the one I keep going back to.

  Last but not least, the other title is also a song title. I checked. It isn’t trademarked. Sure, I could use it, but yesterday I found the same title, again, on another piece of music by a Jazz player. That’s kind of like two strikes, so we’ll scratch it from the list.

  

  Pixabay

  The thing about stress is, it also drove me to brainstorm. Brainstorming took me down another path yesterday, and now three more new titles were added to my long list of four=seven now. Another word for all this might be obsession. I know it’ll come to me sooner than later. Please?

  There’s time. No rush. I have to revise. I’ve had to start reading this book over from page one thirty times or more continuously because of delays and distractions, and each time of reading it from the beginning, I’d do more revisions, so the draft is fairly clean. This is what I do. Don’t try to change me.   🙂

  Anyway, maybe through a hundred a few more revisions I’ll come up with the perfect title. My muse keeps telling me ‘you already have it,’ but she isn’t telling me which one it is. Let’s get with the program here, Ms. Muse!

  Thanks for lending me your shoulder as I go down the path to preparing another book and another title dilemma. I’m sure my author friends understand this.

  Readers, I hope you see how much work, stress, sweat, stress, tears, sweat, stress, hours, HEART we authors put into every aspect of a book, but we love it.  IMHO  ❤

  Happy Tuesday. Thanks for reading.

• Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Imagination

  Posted at 12:27 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on October 10, 2017

  

  Isn’t this quote nice? It is to me. The quote says a lot in only a couple lines. Robert Brault wrote this.  A while back, I wrote a post where I mentioned *Robert Brault about how I’ve used his quotes (with permission) in some of my books. I had no idea what I’d post today until I came across this on The Quote Garden website. My muse approves.

  

  Our imagination is a palette of bright colors though sometimes it can be dark and bleak. My favorite part of this quote is “You can use it to touch up memories.” I’ve done this before with memories that don’t emanate bright colors. But, can we hide the real color of a memory? I love the other part of this sentence, too… “or you can use it to paint dreams.”

  I have used imagination with my memories in writing–the bright and the dark of my memories–but either way, I am painting dreams when I use them. Hats off to Mr. Robert Brault for this quote that inspired my muse today.

  I know many of you have used your imagination to paint dreams. I see it in the photos you take, the music you make, the recipes you share, and the words that you write.

  The imagination is a pallet of bright colors. You can use it to touch up memories — or you can use it to paint dreams. ~Robert Brault

  ---

  *FYI: Robert Brault is a free-lance writer who has contributed to magazines and newspapers in the USA for over 40 years. I visited Robert’s site today and discovered he has another NEW BOOK!

  Have a great rest of the week.

  How do you all paint with your imagination?

• #AmWriting Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Inspiring Research

  Posted at 10:30 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on September 5, 2017

  Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Research/Images

  

   

  My muse is a researcher, which is a good thing because I love researching the settings for my books. One of these settings is the Sonoran Desert. I’ve grown fond of this location. Therefore, images of the area inspire me. This is where my cowboys and their heroines live from the Double Dutch Ranch Series: Love at First Sight™ and the spin off Canyon Junction: Hearts in love Series™.

  Canyon Junction is a fictitious name for my town, and if you can picture Apache Junction, about thirty-five miles from Phoenix, you know you’re close to my town. Some of my heroines are new to the Sonoran and one of the first things they notice are these tall cacti and Superstition Mountain.

   

  

  For today’s Tuesday Inspiration post, I chose to post a few photos from the Sonoran.

  Do you know the Saguaro Cactus only lives in the Sonoran, but not in all parts of the Sonoran? The link above is from the U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service, and it shows where the saguaro lives. Here’s another link you might like with facts about the columnar cactus types from: Cactus and Facts. At this sight, I also learned this cactus is vulnerable to poachers.

  The saguaro fascinates me. They remind me of guards standing watch over the desert. I found this fact interesting about the saguaro: An adult saguaro is generally considered to be about 125 years of age. It may weigh 6 tons or more and be as tall as 50 feet. The average life span of a saguaro is probably 150 – 175 years of age. However, biologists believe that some plants may live over 200 years. Source.

  Going forward, let’s begin in Tucson, Arizona where this video takes place with the night-blooming cereus Queen of the Night cactus flower, which blooms one night a year, but not every year. The video has an advertisement at the end for a fragrance inspired from this flower. No affiliation.

  

  Saguaro National Park is in Tucson, AZ. Caulder and Velia from the Bull Rider Series met in Tucson.

  

  Cactus in bloom.

  

  This saguaro must weigh a lot.

  Here’s a cool link from Ultimate Guide | Apache Trail Scenic Drive for readers familiar with the two series mentioned above. Jake, in Whispers of Forever, took his boy on a drive along the dirt section of Apache Trail. Trace bragged to Beth about the trip with his dad, but Beth told Trace a story about daredevil Jake as a teen on the Apache Trail. You might also remember the Desert Belle at Saguaro Lake where Tristan took Nora in Cowboy Boss and his Destiny. See how much fun research can be!

  This is all I have for now. Wow, I’m inspired to get back to writing my next book. Who gets the next one? If you are a reader of both series, you’ve met him. Our heroine is new to the series. This hero has a bad habit of falling too fast for the women he meets. This could be why he and Zach butt heads in Finding Kimber (coming soon).

  Thanks for visiting today.

• #AmWriting Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Inspiration From Long Ago (Again)

  Posted at 12:24 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 20, 2017

  

  The word “again” is in my title…  I’ve reblogged the post before, and I even reblogged the Reblog. Yes, I’m rolling my eyes at myself. Why do it again? I’ve had many new followers since 2011 when the post had been written, and new followers since 2013 when I decided to repost. I’ve lost the ability to reblog the post again, so I have to link to it. My writing has changed and improved so much since I wrote the post, which makes me proud to know I’m still learning. https://maryjdresselbooks.com/2011/08/02/inspiration-from-long-ago/

  This is inspiring to me because I had someone else tell me at the mere age of thirteen what I had known all along. “You should be a writer.” Those of you who have been around here since 2011 or even 2013, you’ve seen this, so I apologize for talking about and linking to this post yet again. But to this day I give thanks to my seventh grade language arts teacher. I realize this post is more inspiring to me than you, but since it’s Tuesday and time for Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse, this is what I’m posting today. On a side note, thanks to all of you who have stuck around since 2011.

  

  Do you remember who or what inspired you to follow your dreams?

  Thank you for reading.
