Everything You Need to Know about The Conductor
In case you missed my last post, I'm publishing my first novel!!! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Today, I'm going to be introducing you to three things: the book, myself (whom you probably already know), and the illustrator (whom you might not know). First things first: The Conductor has an official release … Continue reading Everything You Need to Know about The Conductor
Cover Reveal: The ??? Thesaurus
I have a secret to spill! For the last month, I've been part of a Street Team for Angela and Becca at Writers Helping Writers, who are launching their new writing book on February 19th. Because they are known for showing, not telling, they decided it would be fun to keep the thesaurus book's topic … Continue reading Cover Reveal: The ??? Thesaurus
The Sequel Game
Hi, everyone!! NaNoWriMo's halfway over, it's less than a week till Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorations are popping up all over the place. (Like, why? I'm a HUGE fan of Christmas, but I draw the line at getting a tree before Thanksgiving.) At the end of this post I'll have a little tip about NaNoWriMo, but … Continue reading The Sequel Game
The Writing Bubble
Ah, here we are, at the very end of summer. It sure went by fast. School's about to start (if it hasn't already), and it's almost the season for pumpkin spice and apples and crunchy orange leaves and NaNoWriMo. Perfect time for writing, if you ask me. It's very cozy to sit in Starbucks with … Continue reading The Writing Bubble
The Truth About Clichés
I've been thinking a lot lately about clichés. Writers are told to avoid them like the plague. They are a horribly awful very bad idea. A big no-no. Clichés are a sign of lazy writing, amateur writing, and all sorts of other writing that you'd never want to associate with. Think of the young, orphaned, … Continue reading The Truth About Clichés
A Proper Fangirl’s Guide to The 49th Mystic
I am SO VERY EXCITED FOR THIS POST. Seriously. I would say Ted Dekker was my favorite author, except I've already given that title to J.R.R. Tolkien. But, if you're a huge Ted Dekker fan like I am, I'm willing to bet you've read his latest book and LOVED it. Dekker did a lot of … Continue reading A Proper Fangirl’s Guide to The 49th Mystic
Interview with Pam Ogden!
Today, I am soooooo excited to have the opportunity to interview my friend and fellow author Pam Ogden! Her first book, He Made Me Brave, released on June 14th, and there is SUCH a cool story behind it, that I wanted to share it with all of you. Six years ago, Pam and her family adopted a little boy … Continue reading Interview with Pam Ogden!
Lessons from Lemony
Why are you doing an entire post about Lemony Snicket? Isn't this a writing blog, not a fangirl blog? Why Lemony Snicket, and not one of your top favorite authors? If that sounds like you, let me tell you now: you're asking all the wrong questions. If you've read his books at all, you know … Continue reading Lessons from Lemony
How (not) to Be the Next C.S. Lewis
Hi everyone! Today, you get the privilege of listening to some of my totally random thoughts. My brain is fried, and this is the only blog topic that came to mind: other authors as role models. When I first started taking writing seriously, I wanted to be the next Ted Dekker. That was probably because … Continue reading How (not) to Be the Next C.S. Lewis
