Roseanne Dowell

I'm now teaching two new classes at LSS School of Writing called Writing Creative Memoirs and Self-editing made easy. If you'd like to write your memoirs or want to learn how to self-edit check them out. http://www.lsswritingschool.com/

Here we are into April. The weather has warmed up somehwhat and the rain promises to bring May flowers. At least that's what I always heard. I'm ready for nice warm sunny days. I'm tired of jackets and cold walks with the dog.

I'm still writing and am working on a new novel. I hope to have it done soon.

I didn't teach the college courses this spring - although why they call classes that start in January and run through March the Spring session, I'll never know. I had a feeling about the weather and I hate to drive in the snow. My gut instinct proved correct and I was thrilled that I didn't have to drive in the snow. Instead, I stayed inside my warm apartment and cooked. I love cooking and I got to do a lot of it this winter. I especially enjoy it when my husband decides to cook. I never could figure out, how I manage to make a whole meal with no help and he can't seem to chop an onion without help. But it's fun helping him and cooking together. He's a much more patient cook than I am. I read the instructions and then throw the meal together. He does it step by step. If it says heat the olive oil and then add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, then add the green pepper or celery, that's what he does. Not me, I heat the oil, add the onions, green pepper, and celery all at once. If it says add ground beef to that, I throw it all in at the same time. Does his taste better than mine? I honestly can't say that it does. So I guess either way is fine. I also revise many of the recipes I use. Especially when I don't have an ingredient. I either leave it out or improvise and add something else. It always seems to turn out good.

I'm no longer an editor with The Wild Rose Press. Life interfered, and I didn't feel I could spend the time and concentration necessary to edit. I didn't think it was fair to the Publisher or the authors and just couldn't devote the time necessary to continue that endeavor. I shall miss it and the people I worked with.

What's New?

I'm teaching three classes for LSS.

Here's a testimonial from one of my students:

Roseanne, Great lesson so far. By the second paragraph I already got an ah ha
moment.
This is exactly what I need to learn. I get so tired of being told,
"show,don't tell" instead of HOW to do just that.
