#IWSG Blog Hop July 5th, 2023
I started a newsletter for writers. I included a couple of bonus when you subscribe. I have a few plans with sections on tips, resource, a form you can ask me questions, and I may answer in the bulletin. I thought writing prompts once in a while might be fun too. Any suggestions of what you’d like to see and read, I’d love to hear from you.
I’m also working on a secret project—stay tuned to stay updated or sign up for Writers Talk and get info and news in your inbox.

Testimonials ” In working with Juneta I realized things about my story that I hadn’t recognized, issues with pacing and tension, plot points that didn’t make sense..”~Mark Ingram Vella Author of Steve Saves The World “Wow!!! I was shocked at how much depth she was able to help me add to the story. She has this almost magical knack for helping you discover what you want to do. ” ~ Vanessa Wells Author of Area 52, Magic and Other Disasters, and Grumpy Old Gods short stories. “I kept abandoning each one and coming up with new ideas. Juneta Key held my feet to the fire, made me choose one world to work on, and helped me plot three books in that world and possibly a fourth! “ ~Megan Stewart Fantasy Author of Where Are My Pants? “Juneta is the BOMB! We call her the velvet hammer and if you work with her for half an hour, you’ll know why.“ ~Shaunta Grimes |

July 5 Question – 99% of my story ideas come from dreams. Where do yours predominantly come from?
My ideas come from my dreams, people around me, the world, myth, music, art, books, and sometimes even the news. My ideas come from everywhere. My stories spur ideas. I’m not able to write a story, short or long, that does not spur a series idea. It’s not the ideas I struggle with, but sometimes the execution of them. My biggest problem is time to finish and produce more consistently. I am learning to be better at this as I learn to juggle my schedule and priorities. Be warned, you could end up in a story associating with me. You may just spur an idea.

I doubt I am. I am homebound, so not able to go to conferences and cool stuff like you do to represent your business. You are definitely an inspiration to me.

I wish I could remember my dreams. That’s cool that you can remember yours and that they’re one of the inspirations for your stories.

I don’t remember all, but a lot. I have even dreams things that have come true which gives you a weird feeling.
