So in order to get to know my characters a bit better for the "dating sim" game I'm working on writing, I've been taking scenes that could potentially happen much later in the game, and just writing them out full story style. A lot of these are pretty far into the romance line of the … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Game Script-ish

So with the end of the year coming up, (how did that happen) I want to look back at the year and see what I did well and what I'd like to improve on for next year. RECAP GOOOOOO In terms of reading I'm finally much closer to where I'd like to be. I fell … Continue reading Plans for 2017
So a while back in this post, I started talking about a slow-burn project I was thinking of. (Because of course, the best time for new ideas to spring up is between November 1-7.) I still poked at it a little during November but not a ton, and now that December is here and I … Continue reading New Projects in the Future
So I never did end up sharing with all of you any/much of my NaNo project, but I can at least fill you in on what I did this November! I took on a bit of a challenge--I think I've mentioned this before--and wrote a project in which there were only two characters, and one … Continue reading Fiction Friday: Old Projects and New
...here I am, a week later than intended. Oops? You all know how bad it can get during NaNoWriMo. I suddenly looked at my calendar while I was filling in my bullet journal and went "...oh. Right. Blog posts. Oops." For the first 4 days of November, I was either entirely focused on writing, or … Continue reading True to Form…
So here we are, Wrimos. It's Hallowe'en (happy holiday! I'm probably at work while you read this, lol) and we are mere hours away from the first of November and the beginning of the crazy journey that is the National Novel Writing Month. Are you ready? Have you prepared enough, have your girded your pants … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: The Final Days
Of course, that title isn't to insinuate that once you write something during November, you can never take it back. (Gods forbid, because I can't imagine any of my stories staying there. Ugh.) But no, this is one of the other "rules" of NaNoWriMo that I've found people have the hardest time doing: not editing. … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Written in Stone
So now that we've talking about building a character, let's chat a little about your setting. There's really two pieces to this that I've seen: the world you've built, and how you introduce that world to your readers. These are two of the places that I've struggled the most in my writing, so a lot … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Wait, Where Are We?
I've used that title for so many things over the years, and I'm never going to get tired of it. The origin is a Kurt Vonnegut story by the same name, about a man with little personality of his own but when he's given a part in a play, he becomes utterly immersed into the … Continue reading NANOWRIMO IS COMING: Who Am I This Time?
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I get emails from NetGalley on a semi-regular basis, and often the books don't strike me. (I think I need to stop telling people I like thrillers, because 90% of all the ones I ever see promoted don't sound … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE SIX TRAIN TO WISCONSIN by Kourtney Heintz
