Is this all it takes to write books? Smokin’ hot jamoke?
The hours I have spent pondering a good storyline, laboring over the computer, staying up late, getting up early, it’s all been for naught? Muggy thoughts have come because I prefer a cuppa tea over coffee?
Henry Fielding once said “love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea.” I’ve taken his word as sacred and read heaps of romance novels, all in hopes of providing readers with a delightfully saccharine love story of my own. Creative non-fiction, in the form of a memoir, does that substitution work?
Had I known the key to prolific writing requires being a java jiving connoisseur, I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and hard work. A tall carafe of coffee and I could have been turning out “happily ever afters” faster than breeding rabbits? Really? No joke? Today, I’ll take a large order of smokin’ hot jamoke.

“Firelight will not let you read fine stories, but it’s warm, and you won’t see the dust on the floor.” ~ Celtic Saying
Tomorrow, October 28th is Tell a Story Day in Scotland and in the United Kingdom.

. Telling stories verbally and through the written word can be fulfilling for both narrator and for the listener or reader!
What a great opportunity to use creativity to tell stories orally.
- Tell a scary story – dim the lights, illuminate the room with some candles and creep the listener right out of their seat!
- Reminisce about your favorite family story. Use old family photos to enhance the images you paint in words.
- Seize the moment, act silly and use your wit to tell a hilarious, goofy tale.
- Host a murder mystery party story. Have your guests be the gumshoe in solving “who done it.”
- Tell a Cinderella love story and dress the part! Don’t forget the handsome young prince too.
- Do a little research on your favorite era in history. Dress in period clothing and do some play acting to recount the tale or the event.
Do you like telling stories through writing? In the United States, the perfect opportunity to start writing your novel is coming up. November is National Novel Writing Month! Challenge yourself to write a novel in 30 days. There is a website that will give you all the details of how you can be involved and many local libraries participate with fun events all revolving around this nationwide event for authors. For more information, please visit

Happy Story Telling, Everyone!
