Bossy People (sort of)
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.…
Read MoreBlogging for someone else…for now.
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…

My sisters and I threw my mother a surprise 70th birthday party this past weekend. Anyone who has ever planned a surprise party knows that it can get a little dicey. For instance, the party was planned for my mom’s actual birthday, Sunday, May 1st. About a month before the party, my mom informed us…
Read MoreReviews – opposing opinions
I just finished a book I only read because the members of my book club voted for it in a poll. I had no desire to read it, based partly on some assumptions of what the book was about, but based mostly on some bad reviews on Amazon. As a result, the book didn’t get my vote but I begrudgingly declared it…
Read MoreKindle – first impressions
My dear friend Alan bought me a Kindle for my birthday. My birthday was in December and, so far, the only book I’ve downloaded is Just Friends With Benefits. (Don’t roll your eyes and make like you wouldn’t download your book first too!) Of course, I haven’t read JFWB on the Kindle because, at this point,…
Read Morehappy endings (in books)
The reason I put “in books” in parenthesis, is because, having a dirty mind, my first thought when I hear the phrase “happy ending” is not of Cinderella-like fairytales. And since I know many of you have dirty minds too, I wanted to clarify at the outset so you could get your minds out of…
