*A Magnolias &Moonshine Novella*

Here's an excerpt

    Claire undressed slowly, every muscle in her body aching from bone-deep exhaustion. It wasn’t the work she’d done making meals and helping guests. No, it was the emotional exhaustion of the last week. She’d been blowing in the breeze like a plastic bag on the highway, bruised and battered from the journey.
    Now she had a place to sleep, people who were kind and generous, and a chance to reset. She’d begun to fall for the charm of the Peach Bellini. The night creatures had sung a full symphony as she walked toward the cottage at nine.
    As she pulled on her robe, she yawned so hard, her jaw cracked. A hot shower and she was going to collapse into that fluffy bed. As she walked out of her bedroom, the bathroom door opened. She stopped mid-stride, too shocked to do anything but stare, her travel tote and towel dangling from her hand.
    Boyd walked out wearing only a navy blue towel. Water clung to every sculpted inch of him. Droplets clung to his dark hair, which curled when wet. He turned to smile and all the air whooshed out of her.
    “Hey, roomie. Shower’s all yours.” He walked down the hallway with a lean hipped swagger and walked into the second bedroom she hadn’t even realized was there.
Holy shit.
    She was sharing the house with Boyd? Why hadn’t Pearl mentioned it? Claire’s entire body flushed with heat. She was expected to use a shower after Boyd had been in there naked? Her exhaustion turned into something completely different. Annoyance, disappointment, and a whiff of arousal.
    Claire stood in the hallway for an indeterminate amount of time before she took a step toward the bathroom. No matter what, she couldn’t stay in the house forever without showering. There was nothing she could do it about it tonight. She could be practical and just make do for now.
    Tomorrow she could talk to Pearl about different accommodations. There were certainly guest rooms in the house. For paying guests, of which she wasn’t. Hell, she didn’t think she could afford even one night at the bed and breakfast.
    Resigned but resentful, she entered the bathroom. The air held warm moisture, the mirror fogged from the previous occupant. She closed the door and readied herself for a shower.
    She couldn’t think about the fact Boyd had just been naked here. The man was a fellow employee, and she wanted nothing to do with him. The arousal she’d felt was temporary insanity caused by the emotional storm she’d just emerged from.

E.E.: What’s your favorite motivational phrase?

Beth: I love this question. I have this quote on the wall in my office:

“You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” ~ Christopher Robin

As writers, or any artist truly, we all struggle with self-confidence. Are we good enough? Is everyone else more talented? Am I really a writer?

Since I was in third grade, I always loved to write. Everything from poems, to short stories, scripts, plays, books, and anything in between. I knew it was who I was, not just what I wanted to do. My imagination engine runs constantly to the point it distract me from real life things. Like remembering to do the dishes, or clean the house, or the other eighty-seven chores on my list. J

Sometimes what we do requires bravery. Every time we publish or submit a book or even give a copy to a friend to read, we need to be brave. Dig deep and put our creation up for someone else’s pleasure and opinion. It’s hard each and every time but we do it because we’re brave.

Strength of conviction is critical as a writer. We have to know that what we write is the best it can be. Not everything is perfect, but every word is part of our soul, a piece of our strength out in the world.

And then there’s smarts. I’m an intelligent person and while I had to work to get good grades in math, I managed to graduate high school and college with an A- average. Now here I am 30+ years later and I’m smarter than I was especially in life experiences.

Every day I sit down and become part of my fictional world, losing myself in the words as they fly from my fingertips. Every day I look at the sign on my wall and read it aloud to myself. I am braver, stronger, and smarter than I was yesterday. Today I am my very best.
