Here there everyone! It's Friday, which means Chapter 7 of Quest to Karantiri is live right here right now. The newsbreak about my break (hah) and a snippet of the story are below. “Celita, you remember Nathaniel from his last visit?” “I do not remember it well but yes, a pleasure to see you again, … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 7 and Break from Blogging

NEW UPDATE 6:09 PM THURSDAY: So I've figured out that they DID in fact list the location we went to on the meetup posting, and still apparently held it elsewhere. I've now contacted the group to see what in the world is going on. So for now, this remains a massive failure and disappointment on … Continue reading UPDATED: Writing Workshops and How to Fail At Them
Kudos if anyone gets the quote in the title before I explain it. ...I'll give you a moment to think. Hit the "read more" after you've given up. I make absolutely no excuses about being obsessed with characters and their development. Even more so, I am fascinated with relationships and how characters get them into … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Drinks All Around!
I've done a lot of talking about how to personally inspire ourselves, and who knows, maybe I'll come back to that. But right now, I'd like to bring it back to what we're actually all here to do: write. (I know, gasp! What?! Writing?! Who gave me the authority?!?) And I know I'm a little … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: What to Wear, What to Wear…
I have an on-going frustration with the length of things. In school, all my papers were longer than I thought they needed to be. (Unless it was a creative writing assignment. Then I distinctly remember raising my hand after being told the minimum page length, and asking "Is there a maximum?") Everything was too long. … Continue reading It Needs to be How Long?!
(No copyright infringement intended by the title of my blog. 😉 We can all keep a secret, yeah?) I've talked about getting away from your work area in the metaphorical sense, by reading authors we love. I've talked about getting away more literally in the short term, by taking dance breaks and getting exercise. But … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays: Mountains, Gandalf!
Yes, it's Friday again, which means that another chapter of Quest to Karantiri has gone live here at korionfray.com. Here's a snippet from the latest chapter: "I've told you, no!" Tallinn's voice was louder than Celita had heard it before. "Papa--" "Celita, this isn't me forbidding it. It is me, and your mother, and the guards … Continue reading Serial Update: Chapter 4
Well, I don't quite have the accolades that my dear friend Amanda over at The Spotted Writer has, but I've been dutifully plugging away at this blog consistently since January of 2013, and off and on since 2008. I have no awards save my NaNoWriMo winner sheets, and haven't done much in the way of … Continue reading Blog Hop Stop: Here Off the Beaten Path
Yeah, I'm not talking about a topic that anyone is going to expect with this post. But there's one thing that we can all take from one particular piece of the writing process to make us stronger and better and the best writer we can be. And it's often the one piece of the process … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesdays – …Wait, What?
I put the word "review" in quotes because I find it very difficult to put myself in any kind of position where it could even be dreamed of that I would be worthy to take apart this novel. Yes, I've tackled classics before (maybe someday I'll show you all my "review" of The Great Gatsby) … Continue reading Book “Review” – To Kill a Mockingbird
