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

get fat, get lost?

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…

Type 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…

my life as a book

I have no idea what direction this blog will take but I’m hoping it makes me feel better, as writing usually does.  I actually have nothing to feel “down” about – I had a great weekend, followed by a pretty productive week at work and some fun plans and I leave for a beach vacation in…

I’m going mobile

You might have noticed that I haven’t blogged in a while. A couple of weeks ago, I was too busy getting ready for my vacation in Savannah to do much writing, and last week, while on my vacation, writing was not on the agenda. My vacation was fantastic.  I’d been really stressed at work and…

Distractions

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…
