Bonjour, mes amis! C'est moi, Ellowyne Wilde. Yes, I’m as shocked to be writing this post as you are to be reading it. Then again, Laurie’s busy packing to leave on Wednesday for a writer’s conference in Texas, so who better to pick up the slack around here than moi? I thought she’d forgotten about us… Continue reading Preorder and Land Updates

Tinsel Doll Part II
Summers usually find me accomplishing far more knitting than writing. This summer is no exception. In some ways, however, I've still been able to hobnob with my book characters, since the items I knitted were for them. Here’s a snapshot of where I left them (and you) in Part I: Shortly after that post, I… Continue reading Tinsel Doll Part II

DIY Doll Tree Swing
Bonjour, mes amis! C’est moi, Ellowyne Wilde. It’s a sad time to be me these days. Not only did I (and my dolly peeps) get booted from our cozy home in Laurie’s dining room and crammed into a cold-hearted cabinet (because of a move to another town that ended up not happening!)... ...but we learned a few… Continue reading DIY Doll Tree Swing

A Sad Day for Ellowyne Wilde
Bonjour, mes amis! Ellowyne Wilde here. It’s been a long time, n’est ce pas? I thought I would chime in today with an update on Laurie’s dolly adventures—oh, wait. Sorry, my bad. There haven’t been any adventures. Why’s that, you ask? Because she was too busy trying to perfect her Christmas story this past winter and… Continue reading A Sad Day for Ellowyne Wilde

Sew Cool
Since my mom introduced me to the imaginative world of Ellowyne Wilde seven years ago, it’s fitting that she also introduced me to the world of tiny knitting needles a few years later (sizes 2 and below, though the tiniest I’ve gone is 000). The former created in me a surprising obsession (within financial reason, of… Continue reading Sew Cool

Just a little pre-holiday fun…
My brother-in-law can be very vocal about his displeasure in seeing Christmas paraphernalia hit the stores weeks before Thanksgiving (a sentiment shared by many, I know). But while he frowns, I can’t wipe the grin off my face, for I represent the other (and likely smaller) crowd that thrills at the sight of all that… Continue reading Just a little pre-holiday fun…

Adventures in Walt Disney World
Psst! Hey, everyone. It’s me—Mistletoe! I figured since Laurie is too busy running around doing “life”—which includes everything but the one thing she should be doing (working on her Christmas story!)—I’d share with you my latest escapade. You know—for posterity’s sake. Cuz for a doll like me, taking a trip to Walt Disney World is worth remembering!… Continue reading Adventures in Walt Disney World

Letting Go Is Not The Same As Giving Up
Seeing as how we are officially halfway through the year, I thought I’d bring you up to date on my New Year’s resolution, which was to send out query letters to dozens of agents and/or publishers. To be honest, I’m discouraged at how few agents and publishers I have been able to find that are… Continue reading Letting Go Is Not The Same As Giving Up

Never a dull moment…
Hallo! Ich bin’s, Ellowyne! (I thought I’d try out some German since it was Laurie’s college major, but I’m not feeling it. She claims it sounds beautiful. If you ask me (which nobody does since I’m a doll), I think French sounds far more elegant…eloquent…Ellowyne-esque!) But enough about languages. Who wants to talk language (other… Continue reading Never a dull moment…

When words fail…use your hands!
I’ve been doing a lot of research and menial rewriting over the last couple of months. Researching agents, tweaking the first 10-50 pages of my manuscript, writing query letters, tweaking query letters, more researching… I hadn’t had much time left over for actual writing—you know, the kind that gets a writer’s butt into the chair… Continue reading When words fail…use your hands!
