I’m happy to keep writing about craft and research, if people are finding those kinds of posts interesting and useful. I’m also happy to take up specific subjects, if anyone would like to suggest one or two or more. Otherwise I’ll continue to putter along as subjects occur to me.
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
I check your website daily so I can see what you have written. To me, a non-writer, your perspective on the art writing is interesting. As are the other topics. I also like the reviews on the side. As far as I’m concerned, just keep on puttering.
Thanks,
Anne
Hi Sara!
I’ve posted here once or twice before just because I thought the subjects you were covering were interesting anyway, but if you’re ASKING then I’d love to hear a little bit about how you go about plotting your stories. Do you work backwards, do you use mind-mapping, do you write bits and pieces and then thread them together…? Any insight would be warmly welcomed… *s*
