Guest 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

I’d like to preface this blog by telling everyone how much I love my mother and dispelling any notions you might have, based on some of my previous posts, that she’s anything short of amazing. She gave birth to me. Kidding! Well, she did give birth to me. (Or at least that’s the story she…
Read Moreunusual sources of inspiration
To date, I’ve written two novels, one published, one in revisions, both fiction. While both stories are make-believe, some of the characters, events, conversations etc. were inspired by true life events. For instance, my relationship with my mother, the dynamic between two or more friends, my own dating experiences and those of my friends, work environment…

As I was getting ready for work this morning, I had Good Morning America on in the background. I was bummed about missing The Facts of Life reunion by mere minutes because I took extra time shaving my legs in the shower.

Read Moremy first interview!
Interviews are often held under scary/uncertain circumstances, most notably job interviews! But I was not sweating my interview with Jen Daiker at all. It was my first official interview as a published author and while I was not offered a job (or new publishing contract) at the end, I’m hoping it will lead to more sales of my book. Even if…
Read Moreconstructive(?) criticism
Back in the 8th grade, I made the consequential decision to cut my cute bob-style hairdo into a bi-level (read: female mullet). I knew I’d made a mistake as soon as Donald (my hair stylist at the time) cut that first side of hair over my ear. But my grandma (“Nanny Tessie”) drove the point home when I returned to my house that afternoon. She…
