blogging in darker times – guest blogger at Chick Lit Club
I was asked to do a guest post for Chick Lit Club, a fabulous blog with news and reviews on some of the hottest novels in chick lit and women’s fiction. With the death of my dear friend, I’ve been having trouble writing “light” posts and when I confided this to my fabulous book manager,…

I have the day off from work today*. I woke up at 9am, spent over an hour at the gym, showered, ran some errands, picked up lunch, started laundry while eating lunch and when I remove my laundry from the dryer, I am going to go to a coffee shop and do some writing. I…
Read MoreHow I get into my character’s heads
As part of my blog tour for A State of Jane with Chick Lit Plus, I stopped by the lovely Kaley’s Book Etc. blog. Kaley asked me to share my thoughts on how I get into my character’s heads. Read here for my secret. Although it’s not a secret anymore now, is it? http://booksandstuff-kstar.blogspot.com/2013/01/guest-post-meredith-schorr.html

I’ve been trying to save money lately. Between being in a long distance relationship, attending several weddings this year and the high cost of living and playing in New York City, I spend way too much. However, I am not going to stop going out to dinner because I love trying new restaurants and most…
Read MoreCalgon anyone?
I really shouldn’t be writing a blog right now because I’m feeling incredibly stressed out and overwhelmed. Unfortunately, one of the (many) things that is causing me stress is the fact that I haven’t posted a blog in a while and so here I am. Besides my mother, I doubt anyone has been stalking my…

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I am in the process of editing my soon-to-be-published chick-lit novel, Planet of the Flakes, a story about a type-A young woman whose life plan is veering way off track thanks to the flake-invested pool of singletons she finds herself swimming in after ending a nine-year relationship…

I’m waiting for the Bolt Bus to arrive at 34th and 8th to take me to Philadelphia. I am guest author this evening for a chicklit book club and need to commute from NYC. It’s raining and I’m afraid my hair will frizz even though I got a Kerotine treatment that’s supposed to take care…
Read MoreWriting Whore – Part 2
If you read my blog last week, and I hope you did, you know I am a writing whore. It’s ok, I don’t try to hide it by writing under a pen name. All of my novels (all=one) are published under my real name as are my book and restaurant reviews. There is no shame…

I am stating publicly that I am not a slut. I know some of my friends and family are shocked by this admission. Ok, not really. There was a period of time when I was somewhat of a kissing bandit, but I’ve never been a “slut” in the regular sense of the word. I am,…
Read Morewriter’s block
When you can’t think of anything to write about on your blog! Really sucks when the goal is to post one a week and it’s been almost two. Irritating when you’re trying to build your social media platform and you can’t think of anything to say. Terrified I will never come up with a blog topic…
