Recap: Superstars Writing Seminars 2018
by Shannon Fox
Okay, so this conference happened at the end of January…yes, JANUARY! Better late than never on this review, right? One of the reasons I did still want to do this review though is because this is the best writing conference I’ve ever been to. Seriously. My neighbor has gone many times before and she was always telling me how would I like it and … Read More Recap: Superstars Writing Seminars 2018

I can’t believe it’s been over two years since my last writing retreat. And it’s not for lack of trying. Life has been quite busy in the meantime and I’ve been doing a lot more traveling than I normally do. Anyway, I finally managed to go on a writing retreat in October. My friend and I ended up deciding to do a camping writing … Read More 2017 Writing Retreat at Lake Cuyamaca
Writing Review: September 2017
by Shannon Fox
I think I’m going to post more check-ins of how my writing is going, maybe quarterly to start since I’m a little scared that if I commit to monthly I won’t have much to report. In between working on whatever book project I have going and writing for Isle of Books, I also usually have a couple publications a month on other sites. My … Read More Writing Review: September 2017

Writing Project Wednesday: The Color of Lightning
by Shannon Fox
Growing up in Colorado, I used to think we’d hit the jackpot when it came to natural disasters. Hurricanes never bothered us, earthquakes didn’t happen, and blizzards were easily handled with a pile of blankets and some advanced planning. While we were close enough to the mountains that tornados in our area were rare, we were also far enough away that wildfires weren’t much … Read More Writing Project Wednesday: The Color of Lightning
Writing Project Wednesday: Nikola Tesla and Elon Musk’s Tesla Car
by Shannon Fox
I haven’t talked about my writing that much on the blog lately. But, yes I am still writing! Slowly, but surely. I’m actually still working on my historical fiction novel about Tesla. Nikola Tesla, the inventor, not the car (more on that in a sec). I’ve been working on this book for five years now! Eek! Off and on because I wrote a draft … Read More Writing Project Wednesday: Nikola Tesla and Elon Musk’s Tesla Car
