A few days have passed since my last post (I get lazier with it every day it seems), so I was thinking today we should have a moderately lengthy, in-depth conversation about writing. Specifically, characters. And not, like, how many characters long your new hotmail password has to be... As writers, we all know how …
Author: Kari Lynn M
Hey there! I'm Kari, a self-published author/independent artist/amateur cake decorator/freelance writer and creator with a dream. The dream of sharing stories with as many people I can possibly reach... and having an abundant supply of white chocolate truffles.
And that's pretty much me!
I said, “Kari said, ‘listen… and learn!'”
I'm about to teach you something... and, yes, it's about grammar. I've seen this done in some poorly edited books before and it mildly bugs me. So, listen... When you're writing a quote inside of a quote, don't make it a quote. That probably sounded confusing as... okay, I'm keeping it clean here, so just …
So… what’s the difference between poems and lyrics?
...or is there even one at all? (And, heads up now, I'll be asking a lot more questions than probably answering in this post because I watched Sex and the City this morning and I'm still kind of in the same mindset as Carrie Bradshaw right now.) First of all, let me describe the extent …

A sad, sad, sad song
...and song analysis of said song. So, here we are, again... and I know it's kind of late, but I can't sleep... and I'm tired from writing stories and junk all day, so I came here to write a blog post instead. This song came on shuffle earlier today and it brought back some memories …
How many words a day should you write?
You probably already know the answer I'm going to give you. Or maybe not... but probably so. So... how many words a day should you write? However many you want to! Like I always say... you do you. If that's not a good enough answer for you, though... well, then buckle up. Today I just …
What did I just stumble into…
I am very confused. Okay, first off, let me just... say a disclaimer, I guess. And no, this isn't about to turn into a political post or anything, so you can stay relaxed. I just want to say, though, that I have nothing against fanfiction... just, in general. Or erotica. Or erotic fanfiction... They might …
The ultimate prank (to me at least)
Another iCarly reference is on the way... Okay, so remember that one episode where everybody was pranking everybody? Probably not... But, anyway, there was an episode of iCarly where everybody was pranking everybody. And... that really has nothing to do with what I'm about to say, but I just thought I'd mention it. So, here's …
So, last night…
...I had this dream. And, as with every dream I have, it was weird. So, basically, I had a dream that this bear kidnapped me. Like, one of those big brown ones. Anyway, it started out with my dad and I in the woods. Well... more like at the edge of a forest, really, but …
Does writing ‘rewire’ your brain???
And not in the 'it makes you smarter' or 'it improves your use of language' kind of sense. Because we all know that's obviously true. What I wanna focus on, though... is more or less how writing/being a writer, specifically with fiction writing, changes the way you think when it comes to... killing people. Don't …
“It’s about time she died anyway…” PART 3/THE FINAL PART!
I know, I missed another day of blogging... hush. I'm here now, though, and I've got a big, long update to finish out "It's about time she died anyway"!!! If you're new to this story and have no idea what I'm talking about, read this first, and then this, and then come back here to …
