How My Current Outlining Method Works
Today I’m going to be using my outline for Ivy Introspective to show y’all how I plan for NaNoWriMo, outlining-wise.

2019: Year of the Relaunch
It has been forever since I’ve had a post where I got to ramble about my future plans. Since I always have future plans (even though they’re not quite organized enough to be un-rambly). So … let’s talk about 2019! I know that seems like a long ways away, but I’ve got some shocking announcements. […]
Big Event Postponed: Hiatus Ensuing
That’s right … Reveries is going on a week+-long hiatus! I’m planning on returning on 27th. Why is this? Well, Kell (me) is going to a writer’s conference in Portland with the amazing Ivy Rose, and of course there shall be no blogging!

Five Reasons You Should Outline
Outlining is time-consuming. If you do it in any depth, it’s pretty difficult … but is it worth it? Why not just skip the extra step completely and move on to the actual writing – that’s what you’re here for, after all, isn’t it? In this post, I’ll be “outlining” (couldn’t resist) my top ten […]

Introducing “That Plot Bunny”
Apologies for this post being so late! I’ve been having a busy last couple days, what with school and work and writing and editing, and I haven’t found a lot of time to blog! Plus I spent most of my blogging time working on AAWC instead of my regular book posts. 😛 Now, a couple […]
The Truth About Outlining Revealed

But is it? This greatly-debated question is the subject of our post today. Though this is […]
An Experiment in Pantsing: Introduction

With no outlining. With no character…ing. With no plotting. Welcome to my experiment in pantsing. Ready for this? […]
Plotting Crash Course, Day Three: A New Book and a Perfect Review

The Last Week of NaNo Prep
I don’t know how it is for you, but for me outlining in the technical sense of outlining is nearly impossible! I can do it for already-existent works, but I can’t make an outline out of the swirling plotline (or lines) in my head! November 1st will be this coming Sunday and I haven’t gotten […]
