Answering the hard questions about life as a writer

October 16, 2019October 14, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

There are the usual questions readers ask authors. But what about the hard ones? I answer those questions here.

3 ways to combat writer’s block

March 30, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

Recently, a writer friend asked me how I combat writer’s block. Before I share what I told her, let me just tell you that writer’s block doesn’t discriminate. I don’t care if you’re JK frickin Rowling, every author is afflicted with this curse. Case in point, I gave this friend my answer for battling writer’s … Continue reading 3 ways to combat writer’s block

The messy blending of a … story

May 30, 2014 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

About a week or so ago I announced that I believed I was done with the rough draft of Prelude to Forever, the story of how Rachel and John met and fell in love before A Symphony of Cicadas. Having planned on this book being a novelette, I was satisfied with the shorter length, and … Continue reading The messy blending of a … story

Let your characters hijack the storyline

August 5, 2013August 3, 2013 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

It was a month ago when I tossed out almost everything I had written in "Forever Thirteen," the sequel to my first novel, "A Symphony of Cicadas". Nothing had been working, I couldn't connect with my characters, and the storyline was heading down a dark path of the afterlife that made the story more sinister … Continue reading Let your characters hijack the storyline

Prompts to chase away writer’s block

July 1, 2013July 1, 2013 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 6 Comments

Words by Autumn's Child* Words fly through my mind, in my eyes and out my ears, Through my pores and rest on my lips. As I walk through grocery stores they dance on melons. Sitting by a fountain they gurgle with the falling water. Adjectives and pronouns flutter in the whirring of the wings of … Continue reading Prompts to chase away writer’s block

It’s my birthday today! And so far my family has done their job in spoiling me rotten. Dinner and a night of Transcendence Theater @ttcsonoma last night with friends, coffee and breakfast in bed this morning, and a whole day of celebrating. I feel so blessed to have this life, surrounded by so many wonderful people, I’m having hard time not feeling choked up. I’m just so grateful. Here’s to 42!
Sparkling in the summer, red in the winter. Cheers! 🍷🎄
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 🎄
Are at the Blue Bayou tonight. Food pictured is the calamari, the chicken, and the vegetable pasta, plus the Louisiana Lemonade. Not pictured is the Monte Cristo, which was more delicious than everything.
The kids and I took a mini just-the-three-of-us trip to Disneyland, and this about sums up our Thanksgiving. Pouring all day, we’re cold and soaked through, but smiling and so happy to be here. All this rain has kept the crowd light and lines short, and we’re so grateful for these obnoxious ponchos, and for our time together. We split up our day with a 3-hour nap, and will be back in the parks soon to brave the rain, cold, and crowds. This is definitely a Thanksgiving we’ll remember. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families!
Woke up at 4 am with the kids and drove to Disneyland! The drive was a smooth 7 hours. The scenery was so gorgeous as the sun rose over cumulus clouds and foggy fields, and the snow on the Grapevine was a winter wonderland, and just light enough that my little car made it up and over just fine. No park today, but we did enjoy tacos with a few (20) hungry birds in Downtown Disney. Now I’m unsuccessfully trying to keep the kids from sleeping because it’s too early! But they keep falling asleep. I’m about to bust out my mom music (all the Bon Iver) to annoy them into keeping awake. Parks tomorrow!
