November #IWSG: I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I AM UP TO NO GOOD



Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your \
November 6 question - What's the strangest thing you've ever googled in researching a story?

The awesome co-hosts for the November 6 posting of the IWSG are Sadira Stone, Patricia Josephine, Lisa Buie-Collard, Erika Beebe, and C. Lee McKenzie!




When you're a murder mystery writer (even for kids!), one must google the many facets of detective work and death. My recent google search led me to the definition of county coroner: an elected official who is responsible for the investigation of deaths...to determine cause and mode of death. 

Well, okay, then. On a lighter note, I dressed up as Hermione Granger for Halloween. And, yes, it snowed the morning of October 31st. I hope everyone has a fantastic November. And may the force be with you if you plan to participate in NaNo.






How about the craziest thing you've ever googled? I can't wait to hear everyone's responses!

  6. Your costume is great! I love Hermione. And yes, the research can get pretty weird when you write mysteries.

  10. Hi,
    Too bad you had snow. I am not a snow fan. You do look good in your costume.
    All the best and enjoy the snow.
