So, I've started to notice a trend in my own writing as of lately... and, well, I kind of wanted to share it with y'all today! Without any explanation, here is the tidbit I've just conjured up... As soon as you say or think, 'no, I can't write that...', you have to write exactly that. …

Working on a new book… or TWO…
Ohmygoodnessgracious... Inspiration, that tricky lil' devil, has struck again. Now, not only am I hard at work on (ahem, FINISHING!) that audiobook, I am also getting back into the actual groove of writin' and typin'! And, I mean, two is always better than one... right??? So, I want to make this into a sort of …
Time to talk genres
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 …
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.

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 …
I wrote this at the very last minute possible
Not literally, but quite literally. So, I've got this whole creative writing class going on, right? And, well, y'all know me (or maybe don't, but)... I get confused very quickly, very easily. With, sometimes, it seems like everything. And, of course, school-related assignments aren't an exception to that rule. And so... uh, yeah, I guess …

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 …
