General writing and brain teasers

I'm new to this, so be gentle, please. :)

I've worked at many jobs in my life but have always been a writer at heart. Now I can actually say I am one, having just contracted for two books with Cerridwen Press. Okay, I've been a writer for longer than that - I wrote articles for a local newspaper, reviews for VOYA magazine, and have been an editor for several e-publishers for the last six years. But to actually have books that will have my name on them...that is a dream come true.

Yes, I will talk about my books here, but I'll also have a daily tip or teaser or writing quote for you. A tip is something to help you with your own writing. A teaser is a jumpstart - something to help jumpstart your brain when you're stuck, and a quote - well, that's sort of self-evident.

So the first for today - a teaser: Darkness fell, and with it my nerve… Finish this scene using: hanging tree, carburetor, teddy

When the carb died on my old car, I realized I was outside the old cemetery. And there, as the legends claimed, in the hanging tree, was the demonic, cursed teddy bear.

Yay, Bicky!

I was gonna try the teaser, but I couldn't come up with anything. :( I'm such a failure.

Love the ceiling fan!
