Confessions of a Part-Timer

January 16, 2024 by Teresa Tysinger

Confessions of a Part-Timer by Teresa Tysinger

I have a confession to make. I work 40 hours a week as the Director of Communications and Public Relations for a national higher education non-profit organization. I also provide freelance graphic design and social media management for a few other small organizations, sit on a few committees at church, and am on the theatre […]

Taking a Breath

December 16, 2023 by Amy R Anguish

You know that feeling when you’ve been running and you just have to stop and catch your breath? It’s sort of the way this year has felt to me. Like I haven’t had a chance to stop for a minute and catch up with myself. Between working two part-time jobs and editing outside of my […]

What I Don’t Know (Could Hurt My Book)

May 5, 2023 by Teresa Tysinger

What I don't know could hurt my book (by Teresa Tysinger)

I know all about love and moments that make your heart skip a beat. I’m familiar with the sights, sounds, and smells of Western North Carolina in every season. I can describe a variety of weather, characteristics, and emotions. So, when I’m writing a romance set in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the summer, I […]

Writers in the Wild

Writers in the Wild by Teresa Tysinger

Have you ever met a writer in the wild? Recently, Facebook reminded me of the one-year anniversary of a time I ventured into the wild, and outside of my comfort zone, to talk to people about my writing in person. It was both terrifying and taught me a lot about the extended opportunities and responsibilities […]

First Lines and Fresh Starts

February 28, 2023 by Teresa Tysinger

First Lines & Fresh Starts by Teresa Tysinger

Recently, I started drafting a new contemporary Christian romance book, thus ending a writing break that had lasted several months. The time off provided exactly what I’d needed—a chance to rest my creative muscles and not feel the need to produce. It was a lovely respite, but I knew the time would come that the […]

Anniversaries in CCR

April 28, 2022 by Tabitha Bouldin

Today marks the twenty-first anniversary of the first date I had with my husband. I think I’m in shock. We will have been married 20 years in June. It’s unbelievable how fast time seems to have gone by, and yet I can remember hundreds of events over the years that mark the passage of time. […]

What Do Authors Fear?

March 28, 2022 by Tabitha Bouldin

What do Authors Fear?

Obviously I cannot speak for every author everywhere. But if you are an author, or if you follow an author on social media, I’m certain you’ve seen the memes that revolve around this question. What do Authors Fear? Let’s look at this from a different perspective. Authors have fears as all humans do, and this […]

Romance Off the Page + Giveaway

Romance Off the Page by Teresa Tysinger

Deemed the “month of love” by many, February often makes people think of romance, grand gestures, and happy endings. As readers and writers of romance, I think it’s safe to say most of us enjoy escaping into the picture-perfect pages of love found in CCR books. Sigh-inducing endings. Foot-popping kisses perfectly staged as snow begins […]

So You Think You Can Write

November 17, 2021 by Janine Rosche

I see you over there. You’ve dabbled, you’ve journaled, you’ve gotten lost in daydreams of a Michael B. Jordan-type professing his love to a Rachel McAdams-type. When you read books by Janine Rosche, you think “I could write just as well as this gal and I actually know where to put commas.” You have the […]

When Writers Don’t Want to Write (+Giveaway)

August 25, 2021 by Teresa Tysinger

When Writers Don't Want to Write

As a writer, I’ve experienced my fair share of obstacles on the harrowing journey of drafting a new story. At the most inopportune times—usually when a deadline looms—writer’s block strikes or any of life’s other obligations can get in the way. While I flit around running to school events, attending church functions, or seeing to […]
