#WW When The Villain Isn’t A Person

I LOVE villains, and I have ever since I was child. I mean, have you watched a Disney movie? The villains are always shiny and scary and have the best sing-along songs. The villains are cool, and it’s even better when you fall in love with villains in novels, too. That being said, we have… Continue reading #WW When The Villain Isn’t A Person

#MondayBlogs Authors, Look Back to Move Forward

Most writers have dreamt of being authors for a long time. Finding out an author started writing at a very young age happens more often than not, and I think it is important to remember that. In many ways, it is easier for a child to dream of becoming an author or an athlete or a… Continue reading #MondayBlogs Authors, Look Back to Move Forward

#WW The Emotions of Finishing a Novel

Recently, I finished the first draft of a novel.

#SATurdate: Lore, New Office, Paint Swatches, & Snow White

I moved this week to a brand-new office! I’m super excited about it. I have a ridiculous amount of room to spread out, and I’m hoping I can get a bigger desk one of these days. My current one was great for my previous, much smaller office, but now I can spin! I need to… Continue reading #SATurdate: Lore, New Office, Paint Swatches, & Snow White

#WW Writing Tips for Book 2 in the Trilogy

I’ve written a few trilogies and a couple of series. I’ve stumbled and struggled and made mistakes and learned from them. During book one, I’ve worried how to create the world AND focus on a smooth storyline, and during book two, I’ve stood in front of my planning board and worried about how to overcome… Continue reading #WW Writing Tips for Book 2 in the Trilogy
