Random facts about ME!
I’m in a very generous mood this evening, so I figured I would share with my readers. I will not be sharing my paycheck, cookies or pieces of my favorite sushi roll, but I will share tidbits about me. I’m sure you’d prefer the paycheck or maybe the sushi but get over it! Here goes nothing:…

As some of you know, I’ve completed my second novel, working title, Taking Back the Fadeaway. After working on it since 2009, I’m very excited to share it with you, but since I’ve only just begun the submission process, I have no idea when it will be contracted and eventually published. Although I want you to…
Read MoreSeattle observations
I just returned from a four day vacation in Seattle. Since it’s about time for me to post my weekly blog, I figured I’d let you all know what I learned about the “Emerald city” during my four days: 1. Seattle is sometimes referred to as the Emerald City. Not sure why, but will look it up before I…

Fact: I am somewhat of a television junkie. I can make a television reference to almost any real-life situation. For instance, I’m headed out to Seattle soon and told a friend I was going to hunt down McDreamy and McSteamy (from the television series, Grey’s Anatomy). If I sneeze in front of my sister, Marjorie, I’ll fake concern that the sniffles mean I’ll…

It’s that time of the week! For writing a blog, of course. Thankfully, that other thing only comes once a month 🙂 I’m hiding out in my boss’s office while he’s out to lunch. I’m eating a really good salad from Hale & Hearty. It has tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms (my friend Abbe just winced. She…

I’ve been meaning to post a blog for a while now. But between working full time as a paralegal, revising my second novel, writing guest blogs for other blogger’s websites, dating someone new, judging a writing contest, trying to maintain a social life, eating, sleeping and general personal hygiene, I just didn’t have the time.…

Hi there, I’ve been very neglectful of my blog of late and for that I apologize. I’ve been very busy revising my second novel and keeping up with my day job as a trademark paralegal. I am pleased to report that my second novel is completed and I plan to start the submission process in the…
Read MoreGuest Post – The Brazen Bookworm
As part of my blog tour with Samantha at Chick Lit Plus, I wrote a guest post for Sarah at The Brazen Bookworm about how I created the characters of Stephanie and her friends in Just Friends With Benefits: http://www.brazenbookworm.com/2011/08/guest-post-from-author-meredith-schorr.html

This post might be a bit controversial and while I hope some of you will agree with me, I’m sure some of you won’t. It’s just my personal opinion. There was a segment on The Today Show yesterday about a survey conducted of men and whether they’d leave their wives if they gained a lot of…
Read MoreType Schmype!
The main character in my first novel had two love interests: one was quiet and brainy, tall, dark and handsome and the other was playful with a baby face. My main character was attracted to both of these men even though they were not the same “type.” When I’m with my girlfriends, one will often comment, “that guy is…
