Arting Your Heart Out – Introvert Writer Self-Care

Karin Kallmaker 08/11/2019 Craft of Writing, LIFE + STYLE, Resources 1 Comment

Enjoying local people art their heart out is one of my favorite self-cares for the solitary writer lifestyle. It’s also a great balance to the times we’re living through.

Crazy Rich Asians – a RomCom that Takes Love Seriously

Karin Kallmaker 09/07/2018 Cheers & Chocolate, Craft of Writing 2 Comments

You can poke fun at the couple’s foibles, and you can put them in awkward situations, but you can’t make light of love itself. Crazy Rich Asians takes love seriously – that’s why it worked for me.

    Pretend you're something you're not and hope for the best. After all, the lie only has to last a few days. Making Up for Lost Time started with this basic premise of a screwball comedy, with inspiration from the hilarious Christmas in Connecticut, starring Barbara Stanwyck.
