By: Staci Stallings Many, many moons ago on a writing loop I was on at the time, there was a massive discussion about backstory. For those who don’t know, “backstory” refers to a character’s story that happened before the current story starts. Basically, where did this person come from and how did they get here? […]
Creativity on Demand
By: Staci Stallings Creativity is an odd animal. It has to be constantly fed, but there is no routine to its needed diet. You cannot coddle it nor coax it. It will come out and play when it’s ready and not a second before that. Forcing it to do anything will result in it immediately […]
What Happens After The End? + a #Giveaway
Have you ever gotten to the end of a book only to wish there was more? Sometimes, no matter how satisfying an ending is, the characters have become so important to you, that you don’t want their story to end. You want to know what is coming next for them, where life is taking them, […]
Racing Through Life
by: Staci Stallings I saw a post the other day on Facebook that said, “Only 45 more weeks until Christmas Day!” For the average person, they would probably laugh that off. For me, it literally caused a zing of anxiety to zap through my body. I’ve told you here about my son’s Christmas light show, […]

Series… Love Them Or Not? Plus Giveaway!
I love reading series. I enjoy the main hero and heroine’ story and often find myself rooting for secondary characters and wanting them to get their own books. And in the following books, it’s fun catching up with the characters I already fell in love with! I might be partial here because Autumn is a […]
What’s in a meme… (and eBook #giveaway)
Here’s hoping you haven’t tired yet of hearing about A Tuscan Legacy. I guess with six of the seven authors in the series being Inspy authors, it’s inevitable that there are going to be a lot of blogs about this new series. The success of the series isn’t just about writing great stories that will […]
Imagination
by: Staci Stallings Sometimes living in my imagination is difficult. Maybe that’s because I have what people call a “vivid imagination.” Do you know what that means, to have a vivid imagination? For me, it means that what I “experience” in my head is often as real or more real to me than things that […]
