So, I've kind of maybe figured out a lil' secret in the world of genres... First of all, think of one of your absolute favorite books, movies, or TV shows. Or, alternatively, think of a really popular book, movie, or TV show. The example I like to use is Star Wars. (Bare with me if …

Inspiration… that tricky lil’ devil
It always comes at the wrong times. Or the inconvenient times. Well, maybe neither the wrong nor inconvenient times... but just not the right times. And you all know what I mean. Whether you want to admit it or not. You do. So, obviously (or maybe not, actually...), I've had this kind of burst of …
New Reddit writing prompt!
Hey, do any of y'all do that thing called Reddit? Well, I do, and I have off and on for quite some time now... but, really, the only times I make my own posts is when I have a random writing prompt idea that, honestly, I don't feel like writing off of myself! So, just …
Put yourself in your character’s place
Become them. Yes, you all, I am back from my incessant questioning to bring you some real content. Not that the Inquiry Entries wasn't real blog content or anything... but, I'd like to get more at answering the questions rather than asking them this week. So, here's the part where you get to ask the …
“Then eyes opened.”
So, here's what not to do when you finish up a story. I mean, like, it's a very elementary thing to do. Literally, I did this in elementary school. I came across one of my super old "short" stories that I wrote back in the day (probably circa 3rd grade), and, though the plot was …
Interview your characters!
A wise woman once said that you should know your characters better than your own blood. Well, that wise woman might just be me, and I don't even know my own blood type. Alas, we all do need to know our main characters like the back of our hands--our cramping, sweating, carpal tunnel-ridden hands. And …
I GOTTA WRITE THIS DOWN
Okay, guys, sorry for the late post this week, but I've been sick. Again. Of course. Now, I saw this in a book I was reading for my creative writing class... and then I was like, hey, I do that, too, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one. I mean, clearly I'm …
The most random urges writers feel
Or, at least, I feel them. And if I feel it, then hey, maybe someone else will, too. So, you guys, with absolutely nothing else to talk about this weekend... I've got these few random thoughts on my mind! There's these little things that only we as writers do. Or want to do. Emphasis on …
Songs to inspire your poetic flow
I know at least I'm in need of some major inspo right now. So, here I've compiled a list of songs that can inspire whatever subcategory of poetic feel you've just been looking for! You can take these into your brain a few different ways... number 1, you can straight shoot up on them while …
For my (and your) negative reviewers
I bought a book on how to talk the dirty speak in Russian last week. It sounds really random, but if you know me, it's not. When I brought the book home I immediately turned to chapter 7, which is all about what the kids call "talking smack" . I memorized my top 3 insults …
