Hey, y'all! I've got a list for you today... And it's centered around one of my favorite TV shows... Jane the Virgin! I've always found Jane Villanueva to be a very relatable character in many aspects... but, one in particular that continuously stands out to me, has to be her author side. And, to help …

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 …
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 …
...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 …

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 …

I just want to say, though, that I have nothing against fanfiction... just, in general. Or erotica. Or erotic fanfiction... They might …
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 …
Here's something to think about; it got me thinking, at least. Why do writers write? I don't know why, but this question just sort of came to me today... and now I can't stop thinking about. I mean, even when I ask myself why I write, I have to stop and think about it for a …
Oh, let's talk about a scene from my all time favorite film today. ...Breakfast at Tiffany's! Now, I have a lesson for all the writers today. It's one I've heard myself over and over again from a million different sources, but I want to take it and retell it in my own way (isn't that …
I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A RANT. It's the opposite! More like... a rave. I still feel starting it off with 'alright, so', though. Alright, so... I've got something that I just realized I actually really love. And what on Earth could that be? (Other than pizza rolls dipped in ranch dressing and the movie …
