Writing Tips

Shannon A Thompson21 Comments

“Every villain is the hero in their own story” is a common, popular writing tip, and while I agree, I think it is sometimes confused with “Every villain thinks they’re the good guy.” There’s a difference between thinking you’re a hero and thinking you’re a good guy, and not every villain thinks they’re a good… Continue reading Not All Villains Think They’re Good

Shannon A Thompson24 Comments

Recently I came across a poll on Twitter. How many times do you give an author a chance before you swear off their work indefinitely?

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
