#SATurdate: Penned Con, Descendants of the Sun, Snow Like Ashes, & Paperbacks
What I’m Writing: I’m 52,291 words into Bad Bloods: July Thunder! I was sort of—maybe—kind of hoping to keep this book under 120,000 words, but it looks like it will be just as long as the first two installments at this point. It’s kind of funny not knowing if it will be one book or… Continue reading #SATurdate: Penned Con, Descendants of the Sun, Snow Like Ashes, & Paperbacks

#WW Help! My Female Character Is Flat
I’m guilty! Oh, so guilty. While writing my latest manuscript for my publisher, I hit a snag 38,000 words in, and could not—for the life of me—figure out what was wrong with it. Then, I realized what happened. My female protagonist was flat. Allow me to back track for a little bit. I never used… Continue reading #WW Help! My Female Character Is Flat

It has something to do with my female… Continue reading #SATurdate: Sequel Sneak Peeks, The Light Between Oceans, Rook, & Cupcakes.
#WW Writing Quicksand
Writing quicksand is a term I like to use to describe when writing is doing more damage than good. You know, the more you move, the faster you sink? It can happen in writing, too. Of course, writers should write all time. Whenever they can, really. But sometimes, it’s best to walk away for a… Continue reading #WW Writing Quicksand
#MondayBlogs My Protagonist and Illiteracy
My protagonist is illiterate. She recognizes a few letters, she can identify her name, and she loves listening to stories more than anything. But she cannot read. Her name is Serena, and Serena is a bad blood. Bad Bloods in 35 words or less: 17-year-old Serena is the only bad blood to escape execution. Now… Continue reading #MondayBlogs My Protagonist and Illiteracy
