As a very beginning of my being here I wish to thank our hosts first for my brand new red room. I hope to soon feel home there. Then in turn, I would like to say all of you are the same welcomed to my Wonderland.
You could know basic things about me checking at the biography section. More you...

Life is full of situations that make us consider and reconsider the decisions we’ve made. What if I’d gone to college straight out of high school? What if I’d gone to the Naval Academy instead of boot camp? What if I’d settled into writing in the eighties instead of talking about it on through...

I’m currently reading one of the most recent novels by Stephen King, Lisey’s Story, which is a twist on the old writer writing a story about a writer plot. The story is about the widow of a writer, and is full of insights from an odd perspective. The perspective, in this case, is that of an author...

Okay, I stole this title from Barbara Sher (the Wishcraft lady), who has a book entitled I Could Do Anything If Only I Knew What It Was. I am about to usher myself and a passel of writers and hopefuls through the process of planning and writing and revising a novel.
In October, we will plot and...

As I continued my hunt for the perfect title, I paid a visit to my profile over at RedRoom.com.
Red Room is a great place to connect with authors, and my blog appears on my profile page over there as well as here on my website. Several people on Red Room offered title ideas for "the book...

It seems to be a law of writers' blogs that you must have an essay on that perennial question: Where Do You Get Your Ideas?
So I thought that by way of introduction I'd just get this one out of the way because, frankly, it's so easy.
Franz Kafka offered this advice to writers (I guess to...

I keep thinking, wondering when will I finally be content with what and how I write. It seems as though nothing is ever enough no matter how much I try.
I guess this is my angsty-writer side speaking, but I really feel like here is so much more I can do and yet I can't figure it out. I know how...

I would like to compile ideas for marketing and make them available to other writers. Anyone out there who came upon a good marketing idea who would like to share it? If you write it in a comment here, or send it to me at nat@natashabauman.com, I will put them all together in an essay (crediting...
