Who is Lauren Tisdale?

 Well, I ask myself that these days as well. I can give you the whole spiel from my website:

Lauren Tisdale discovered her love of writing through a serendipitous turn of events, which led her on a journey of self-discovery through the stories she weaves for her readers. Although she writes in multiple genres, Lauren is a romantic at heart. From paranormal romance to romantic comedy, you can find an array of options from this author. Lauren's voice as an author is growing into a force to be reckoned with. She is filled with stories that need to be told and characters who give her glimpses into new worlds. Join in with many other readers seeking an adventure of the heart, and get lost between the pages.

​

While not writing, Lauren works full time, is a wife, and a mother. She has a yellow lab named Meeko and resides in south-central Louisiana. Lauren's love of music and movies inspired her participation in her town's community theatre program. When she relaxes at home she is usually binge-watching Netflix with her family. If you are looking for a quirky author who is occasionally corny in an endearing way, look no further!



        That's who I am to the outside world, at least. Author Lauren Tisdale. But, I'm going to steal something real quick from Shrek - I'm like an onion. I have many layers about myself. Some are defined, never changing. Some change daily. Some I am working on changing for the better. They all mix together and form . . . well, me. I'm not sure what great contribution I will make to the world or mankind. I know what I hope to achieve - at least one person being touched by my writing and able to escape the real world, even if briefly. 


So, for now, I'll say Lauren Tisdale is a woman striving to become a successful author, be a good mom, a good wife, a good friend, a good worker, and not lose her sanity. That about covers it. 


Welcome to my crazy life!

Brainstorm Breakthrough

  I used to have this ridiculous fear that I would share my thoughts to brainstorm with another author and they would in turn steal my idea and I'd be left in the dark with my mouth hanging open. Thank you anxiety - I swear it's like this little person constantly giving me worst-case scenario thoughts for every daily thing. It's exhausting.  With that said, I saw in one of my favorite groups on Facebook - Moms Who Write - and there was a lady offering brainstorming to fight through some blocks. Being 2022, I decided to leave my crazy fears in 2021. I messaged her and we began to brainstorm about my current work in progress "Chasing Fireflies" . I was having some issues with a certain plot point and was not sure it was solid enough to hold the entire story. After a few minutes of her asking questions and giving suggestions, I began to add more to the plot that I always wanted to but didn't think it was "wow enough". But then I realized, it's not a...

Hello, 2022

Hello, 2022!  I bet you're already rolling your eyes at all the "New Year, New Me" posts. I've decided to be honest with myself - and with my readers. My motto is - and I've come accept - "New Year . . . same hot mess" I know me - I'm going to have days of writers block. I'm going to overschedule myself and run myself into the ground with a full plate until I burn out and retreat into myself like a turtle. I'm going to have unfinished projects. I'm going to have regrets and be mad I didn't stick to my goals.  Well, at least that was 2021 me. I plan to go into 2022 with a new outlook. A complete revamped perspective. I will give myself grace on the days I fall short of meeting less than my goal or nothing at all. I'm going to document this journey each day. Of course, there will be days where I have absolutely zero time to write, but my goal is to still write something or do one thing for my business. Give my readers a ...

Magic of Music - Excerpt inside

Image
I've always loved music. It was a huge part of my life growing up. My mom was a country music fan who raised me on Conway, Loretta, Patsy, and George. All the greats of the time. I of course had my own taste in music as I grew older but classic country never left my soul. Country music gets a bad rep at times from being so "redneck" (I.E. She stole my dog and my truck and left me for my brother jokes) but country music tells a story. Makes you feel something. Some are a little wonky, yes. But most of them tell wonderful stories. I have to listen to music while I write and it's usually country if I need to be inspired. Sometimes it changes depending on the scene I'm working on. Feeling a little stumped and blocked on visualizing this novel I'm working on, I listened to some Miranda Lambert on the way home and sang along at the top of my lungs. Doing these little car karaoke performances always makes me feel better. Right away, I started picturing my story and ...
