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 …

Well, this is exciting…!
Okay, homedogs, I know I said something new and fresh was coming this week... well, I think I did... anyway, there still is, but something else has been uncovered that I just have to share with y'all! Remember my very first book, Cartoon? Probably not, but guess what? It's one of the top downloaded free …
“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.

Don’t tell me I’m lucky.
Alright, so here's my rant of the day/week/month/year. So, I'm taking that creative writing class now, right? Well, first thing of the class, our teacher writes a long introductory letter, and then we have to read the introductions from two different textbooks, and this is what really stood out to me in all three... "Only …
FINALLY… I am taking creative writing.
As a college-level class, that is. Yep, it's about time I started to actually learn about the "craft" of writing. I mean, not that I don't already get it... because I clearly do, but it just seems like, logical, I guess, that I take every opportunity I get to be gifted with when it comes …
Writing tips: On character quirks
Hey guys! So, I haven't covered any writing tips in a while, and this is one I've been wanting to discuss for some time now. Now, what are character... "quirks"? And, more importantly, why should you use them? Character quirks, in my definition, are those little things that make a character unique. And, not just …
