I try to write a blog a week and since it’s been almost a week since I posted my last one, it’s about that time. Only problem is, I’m suffering from a bout of writer’s block. When others complain about this particular ailment, I usually suggest they sit in front of the computer and just…
Read MoreBook Club review – The Ten Best Days of My Life
Besides being a writer, a trademark paralegal, a New York Yankees fan (with or without a good pitching rotation) and a runner, I am also the organizer of a book club through www.meetup.com, dedicated to the genre of ‘chick-lit’. At each meeting, we discuss the book of the month (among other girl’s-night-out appropriate topics) over a…
Read Moremovies we ♥
Valentine’s Day is less than a week away and so it’s no surprise that many bloggers are posting about all things ‘love’. Since all the cool people are doing it, so will I.

But my grandma (“Nanny Tessie”) drove the point home when I returned to my house that afternoon. She…

1. So that a “Meredith Schorr” search on Google will disclose more results, and my membership in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan Meetup group will get pushed towards the end. 2. To ‘out’ an ex-boyfriend’s dirty secrets via a character inspired by him. (even if he’ll never read the book or admit his dirty…

Since I’m going to be posting blogs regularly, I thought there were some things you should know about me. Although writing is my passion, it’s not what pays my bills (yet). I have fifteen years experience working as a trademark paralegal. In a nutshell, I assist in the clearance, prosecution, maintenance and protection of trademarks. …
Read MoreI simply remember my favorite books and then I don’t feel so bad
It’s been said that in order to be a good writer, you should be a good reader but that is not why I started reading. I started reading because my oldest sister offered to pay me .25 cents for every book I read. (This was in the late 70s when .25 cents was actually worth…
Read MoreThe Hardest Part – The Final Chapter – Promotion
So you’ve written a book and found someone who wants to publish it. Now what? You sell three billion copies in the first week and the book gets made into a movie starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, right? Oh yeah, that’s Pretty Woman and in real life, hookers don’t wind up with the big-hearted…
