May 2020 Wrapup & Summer 2020 Dares
Welcome to June! Can you believe it? I know I’m struggling to comprehend the fact that … IT IS SUMMER 2020! This year is going so fast, and I can’t seem to keep a grasp on it. So, ladies and germs, I have nothing to say that I haven’t said every month (they’re sort of […]
I Have My Mom to Thank for Being a Writer
Today I wanted to write a very brief post (as it is the day before Mother’s Day!) explaining briefly why I have my mom to thank for being a writer. This won’t be a gushy post full of sentiment, as I’m incapable of such a thing, but it definitely includes some logical reasons why I […]
Ivy Introspective Is With the Editor! Now What?
As of this Sunday, Ivy Introspective is now with her editor. It took me waaaay too long to actually finish my own edits, but I’ve finally done it – and it’s out of my hands. Until the beginning of June, I don’t have to think about it. Which begs the question … now what? I […]
My Ever-Changing Camp NaNo Project
Halfway through the month, and I still feel like I’ve done nothing, but that isn’t exactly true. š In reality, I’ve done a lot – it’s just not mostly been on my Camp NaNo project. I’ve been working on Reveries Co. and on my email lists and on various projects of that sort, so my […]

5 Reasons to Follow Tales of the Lonely Sun (Blog Tour + Guest Post)
Today I’m doing a blog tour … only it’s something different. It’s a blog blog tour. (E.g. a blog tour for a blog launch.) And now that I’ve said “blog” waaay too many times … I’ll swap over to talking about the blog itself! Tales of the Lonely Sun is the name of the blog […]
Does Writing Advice Put a Damper on Our Creativity?
Recently, Iāve seen writers talking about how writing advice, story craft, and other tips and tricks for writing a better novel are useless. In their way of seeing it, writing advice tends to lead to formulaic stories, sub-parr novels, and writers not seeking a certain āitā factor. Writers donāt need advice ā they need to […]
How to Turn Your Plot Points into Scenes {yes, another outlining post}
I was going to let outlining rest now and post about something else, but a question a friend commented kept niggling at the back of my head. And I just couldnāt let it go. In an article a few weeks ago, I discussed my current, complicated outlining method, but I totally neglected to give tips […]
Lessons Learned from Not Writing
I havenāt not been writing for more than a few days altogether in a long time. I just write like that ā in bulk, pushing myself as far as I can go. But now Iām not writing. In fact, Iām not doing a lot of the things I have always been pushing myself to do. […]
10K 1Day (how did I do that again?)
Hello folks! Kell here. At the beginning of July, I wrote 10,000 words in one day (10k 1Day). I wanted to do this several times this month, but so far Iāve only accomplished it once. Still, thatās good as I have never written 10k in a 1 day except during NaNoWriMo (the main event not […]
