Ten Mistakes Aspiring Writers Make

Book One: "You're Still Mine"

For those of you who are new to this blog, this week I will be reintroducing the three books which comprise my 'Safe In His Arms' series.  Book one, "You're Still Mine," touches upon the delicate subject of spousal abuse.  While writing this fictional story, my goal was to deal with the subject in a realistic yet kind manner.  Remember, if you are being abused, do what you need to do to get yourself out of such a dangerous situation.  Your loved ones need you to be safe and healthy, especially if you have children who are being exposed to such violence.

This is Meg's story... (sample below)

Excerpt of You're Still Mine by Lise Guilbault

PROLOGUE

This couldn't be happening! She'd been assured by the Courts that he would serve a minimum five years, yet here he was walking the streets - or soon would be - following a paltry three and a half years in federal prison!

On the very day he was found guilty by a jury of his peers, Meg had registered with SAVIN, the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification program, hence the automated message which had greeted her this morning informing her that her ex-husband, the man who'd nearly taken her life, the man who'd instilled in her a fear of men in general, was to

be released this coming Monday.

In her estimation, she had three days to come up with a solid plan to get herself away from this town, away from him if she had any hope of saving herself. Meg wasn't one prone to exaggeration in general, and definitely not when it came to her fear of Rob. She knew with absolute certainty that immediately upon his release, Rob would be on her like a dog with a bone. Only this time, he'd be sure to finish the job. Unable to come up with a quick solution, Meg needed to think, and think fast! She decided to come at this systematically.

First things first. Money. She had $2,500 in savings and another $1,100 in her chequing account. Of course, if she left town immediately, it would mean skipping this month's mortgage payment, but what did it matter? Rob would likely claim the house as his anyway. Laws and injunctions were of no consequence to an animal like him. He was a law unto himself and defied anyone to say differently.

Meg had married Rob when she was twenty-five. He was a couple years older than her and had impressed Meg with his worldly maturity. He'd often boasted of his travels and street-wise education,

The birds are singing

Hello friends,

As I sit in my favourite room, enjoying my morning coffee, I reflect on the upcoming day.  There are so many things I should be doing:  Working on my new novel, planting my garden, cleaning the house... And then I hear the birds sing, and I stay exactly where I am.  There is nothing more important than this!

I hope you also take the time to enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
