I haven't been writing much. Which is sad, because I love writing, but everything in my head right now is old. I don't have any new ideas, the Muse is mad at me 'cause I've been going to bed on time, and all my old stories are just kind of... not fresh anymore. Sometimes I … Continue reading What if My Story Takes a Lifetime to Write?

The Universal Truth
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. No, not that kind of universal truth. I'm pretty sure the above statement isn't even true. Mrs. Bennett thought it was, but most of what she says is nonsense anyway, so we … Continue reading The Universal Truth
The Difference between Salvation and Redemption
I've been doing a lot of character development lately. It's my new favorite aspect of writing. I've been reading a lot about the different Myers-Briggs types (and yes, each of my twelve main characters is a different type), delving into backstories, and figuring out their inner motivations.

"What if no one likes it?" "What if I don't meet my deadline?" I've asked myself all of these questions before. I'm … Continue reading Fear (and an exciting book announcement)
The Aftermath of NaNoWriMo
Okay, so like... weird title for the beginning of May? Actually not really. If you're familiar at all with NaNoWriMo, you probably at least know about the one in April too. As if writers aren't already weird enough to try to write a novel in a month once a year. No, we have to do … Continue reading The Aftermath of NaNoWriMo
A Year In Review
Hello everyone. As you will probably notice, I took a little break for the holidays and am just now getting back into writing blog posts. Today I'm going to look back at the year 2016, specifically from my writing POV. Of course, I only started blogging a couple of weeks ago, so I'll have to … Continue reading A Year In Review
