In romance, scent if often used to signify attraction between the couple. Think of someone you like. Can you describe how they smell? Do they wear a specific cologne or perfume that instantly sets you at ease? Or does what they do for a job carry a certain aroma that brings a pleasant image? These are the sorts of things I like to mention in my writing. Some of my favourite scents are cilantro, chlorine, and sandalwood. And of course new baby. I can sniff a newborn’s head for hours. 😊 What about you? Share you favourite scents below. Then hop over to Jill Haymaker and read what she has to say about scent!

Another game great for four players is Ding. You are dealt five cards and the trump changes every hand. You must take a least one trick to not be bumped back to the starting score of 21. It's a lot of fun but can be very cutthroat! We don’t play a lot of board games, but as our grandchildren get older, we have pulled out Snakes and Ladders, Trouble, and Sorry. They are a little young still, but it’s never too soon to get them excited about playing games! What about your family? What do you like to play? Let me know in the comments, then hop over to Jill Haymaker to read about her choices.
When it comes to craft, you never stop learning. And I don’t mean only taking classes, which I do when I can. I mean learning by doing, by sitting in the chair and typing the words and listening to my gut. I don't always know how to fix things right away, but I trust myself enough as a writer to know I’ll be able to figure it out sometime and not to angst over it. I’ve also learned not to put pressure on myself. I’ve chosen a route that may not result in enormous success or huge profits. But I love what I do and am proud to write the stories I am meant to, not the stories I’ve been told I should write. Everyone’s author journey is different. Hop over to Leslie Hachtel to see how her writing life has evolved.
