Who are you thankful for? Who inspires you?

August 29, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

This week I’m embarking on rewrites for two projects–both a novella and my third full-length novel. It’s been a crazy-busy summer of writing, that’s for sure. It’s easy, when in the trenches of drafting or revising or marketing, to get very focused on the moment…the most immediate to-do…the most necessary task. But something cool happened yesterday […]

July 29, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

Note from Melissa: I’m so delighted to welcome one of my faaaavoritest people to the blog today–Lindsay Harrel. Lindsay is my craft partner, but more than that, she’s my friend and confidante and the person I text with pretty much daily. I get twitchy if more than a day goes by without talking to her. […]

Where would you be “Here to Stay?”

June 26, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

Ever since the release of my second book, Here to Stay, I’ve had people asking me whether I’m more like Blake, the character who’s finally coming home and just wants to settle down, or Autumn, the girl who is on the brink of living her dream and moving to Paris. The truth? I’m both of […]

The longest wait.

April 19, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

Today is Holy Saturday, the day in between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It’s a day flanked by sacrifice and suffering on one side and resurrection and victory on the other. I sometimes wonder what God was thinking or feeling or doing on the day after his son’s death. Did that day after the crucifixion […]

Why I Write Rom-Com

March 15, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

Actors today try to avoid comedy because if you write a comedy that’s not a success, the lack of success is immediately apparent because the audience is not laughing.  A comedy is a big risk. ~Cary Grant I love Cary Grant…for many reasons. :) And that quote above is one of those reasons. I adore […]

Let’s talk about movies! (plus a giveaway)

February 7, 2014 by Melissa Tagg

Okay, it’s Friday, which totally calls for a fun and light topic, right? And one of my favorite topics: movies. Now, I have a confession to make: I may be the pickiest person in the entire world when it comes to Hollywood’s current romantic comedies. Which is funny, really, because I write rom-com. You’d think […]
