A long break – and NaNoWriMo!
I apologise for the long break between posts. I’ve reblogged a couple of interesting posts lately, but have not put up any of my own.

He talks about the difference between plot and story and includes things like the character arc in his definition of … Continue reading The truth about PLOT and STORY
Said is NOT dead
I hear people on the Internet, especially on YouTube, say that their English teachers had told them that “Said is dead”, meaning, don’t use the word “said” when writing a novel or short story. I don’t remember my teachers saying that specifically, but they did insist that we use more “interesting” words to describe speech. … Continue reading Said is NOT dead
No warmups – just write!
There is a lot of advice out there about preparing to sit down and write your book. Some people tell you to free write or journal beforehand. They say to just write about anything that comes to mind. I’ve sort of tried this and it’s okay. But I guess I didn’t love it, or I’d … Continue reading No warmups – just write!
