On December 17, 2021December 11, 2021 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!3 Comments

Hey y'all! So, today, I'm giving you a guided writing post that's going to take a very basic, beginner-friendly approach to... (drum roll, although you probably already read the blog title...) writing poems! Ah, poetry... you know, the thing some of us love, some of us hate, some of us love to hate, and some …

Hey homedogs. So, I may or may not have just started a brand new novel in the midst of crafting the middle chapters of another novel... Oops, I did it... again. Well, ordinarily, in the past when I've started a second or third or fourth or fifth or tenth book on a whim, I usually …

Dear fellow writers: the mistake I made

On March 5, 2021March 4, 2021 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!Leave a comment

So, this just kind of dawned on me the other day. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts and reading about indie author marketing lately, so I've kind of had a slightly big mindset change, all centering around this one idea... My books are not for everyone. I had this idea in the beginning, …

Stuck.

On January 8, 2021January 7, 2021 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!2 Comments

We've all been there. We know the feeling. Uninspired. Drained. Loss of motivation. I've certainly been feeling stuck myself lately, so you're not alone. What's important to focus on, now, though, is the "how-to"... not how to get stuck, but rather how to get unstuck. So, below, I've created a short list of all my …

Pep Talk2U!

On October 2, 2020October 2, 2020 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!Leave a comment

Hey, you, writer feeling blue! I feel it sometimes, too. Cheesy rhymes aside, though, I want to make a little pep talk speech that both of us can refer back to when we need it. So, listen up! Did you write much today? Even a little? Every word counts, you know. Not even one? Well, …

Reflections on Progress

On September 25, 2020September 25, 2020 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!Leave a comment

So, I know I talked about progress writing and stuff in other posts not too long ago, but this post is completely unrelated to it. Well, actually, I'll probably end up relating them by the end, but just hear me out for a bit first. I keep a lot of old notebooks around sometimes, but …

Am I writing too fast?

On September 11, 2020September 10, 2020 By Kari Lynn MIn "Kari Bradshaw"2 Comments

Normally, I can't get myself to sit still long enough to write 100 words at a time. Now, though, I'm churning out 10x that (you can do the math for me) with no problem. It's great, really, and I love that I'm now making progress on my next novel... but now I'm afraid I'm just …

Happy birthday to this mostly unspecial pup with the very generic name--Bella! Even though she bites me quite often and leaves my fingers with multiple semi-permanent scars, I still cherish the rare nudge of her head on my hand when she wants some of my chips... Here's to putting up with her bipolar temper for 13 years!
Basically a repost from @idkjessiee but can't believe this weekend finally happened <3
