This Writer’s Journey…Paranormal Book Club

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Lynn Rush

Writing is a journey, one I truly love and enjoy, but it can sometimes feel rather lonely. Hour after hour, alone, at the computer, pouring your heart and soul into each word. But I’ve learned I’m not alone, in fact, I’ve been blessed to be in contact with some amazing people, both writers and non-writers.

I want to share a bit of that with you. Each week I’ll be spotlighting someone I’ve come in contact with during my journey. Thanks for stepping along side of me—all of you—during this exciting time!

Whitney

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Lynn Rush

I was so sad to hear of her passing. I figured today’s Throwback Thursday could be hers. I just did one for her the other week, but this is another one of my faves of hers!!

RIP Whitney

Movie+Romance=AWESOME

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Lynn Rush

Since Valentine’s Day was yesterday, and I’m a sucker for romance, I figured today’s movie stuff would be lovey-dovey.

Here we go….

I sat down at my desk and asked myself, “What are ten of my favorite love story movies.”

And this is what I came up with (no particular order):

What are some of your favorite lovey-dovey movies??

CSO–Valentine’s Day Style….

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Lynn Rush

Okay, so for Cinema Sound Off today we’re doing something different. Usually we head into the wonderful Harkins Theatres to review a new release to let you know if it’s worth your while…

But today, for Valentine’s Day we watched a blast from the past sweetheart movie.

SIXTEEN CANDLES

**le sigh**

I tell you, it has to be one of my faves out there, you know? Such innocence. Awkward teen moments. Sweet, Sweet love.

**le sigh**

Yes, I sighed again. Might be overkill, but that’s okay, I just think this movie is so cute.

Here are some fun parts

First, the trailer:

And then some fun parts:

What’s your favorite part?

So, any Valentine’s Day plans?

Head on over to KM Wilsher’s blog to see what she has to say about Sixteen Candles.

Origins Blogfest…

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Lynn Rush

Thanks DL Hammons at Cruising Altitude for this fun blogfest. I love hearing about how people got started writing.

When my first novel released last September, I went on a blog tour and often got asked how I started writing.

Most people gave a giggle or gasped when I said I’d never dreamed I’d be walking this writing journey.

As in….never.

I didn’t grow up writing little stories or poems. I wasn’t on the school newspaper or year book.

The only artistic thing I did was a little drawing and pottery, but that’s about it.

So, in 2007 when a story popped into my head after reading Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness, I started writing. Within a few months I had an 87,000-word novel I had no idea what to do with.
