October Character Studies ~ Costumes
First: OH MY GOSH!!! She liked my idea. Is the world collapsing on you or is it just me?!?!?! Wait a minute … why would the world be collapsing if I actually thought up something good that someone liked for once instead of a bunch of mindless blither-blather? Well … I don’t know. Maybe because everything’s been kind […]
Plotting Crash Course, Day 2: Character Sheets and Aesthetics
Today we’ll be talking about character sheets and novel aesthetics, because I started developing a playlist today, got excited about it, and need to share it with you. Let’s start out with character sheets. Now, everyone has their own version of the character sheets, and you can find about a thousand, all relatively good, by […]
September 2016 Spotlight ~ IvIn Excerpt and Theme
Well, it’s once-again time for our monthly spotlight! Just in case you need a refresher, here’s the first spotlight post where I explained what a spotlight is, where I got the idea from, etc. This month I’m going to be sharing a little bit of my novel, Ivy Introspective, which is hopefully coming out sometime in […]
Feeling vs. Thinking in Writing
I know, I know! A Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing with Createspace for Intelligent People (Part 2) was supposed to be posted today. But … too lazy and too enthused about this new idea (which, disclaimer, I got from the book Writing With Power by Peter Elbow. I’ve only read the first chapter, but I’m smart enough to […]
On Sprinters, Elections, and NaNo

The Lady of the Vineyard Blog Tour, Day 4
Wow … I can’t believe we’re already at day 4! Only one day to go! Well, I’ve got some sad news.

July Character Studies ~ Beliefs, Ideals, and Morals
Well, it’s time for another Character Studies! This time we have “Beliefs, Ideals, and Morals” for the subject. It’s a fun one. I’ve noticed that most people are doing unfeeling pessimists. Or perhaps that’s just me. At any rate, I’m doing a character I don’t know much about, so … maybe she’s an unfeeling pessimist. […]
