    Future Free Write Fridays

    Hi all, In terms of wrapping up loose ends from last year, one thing I wanted to do but successfully did not do was free write Fridays. I’d like to eventually post consistently three days a week but sometimes I don’t plan well for that to happen. So I’m still going to leave Friday’s for…

  • Scene Wrap Up

    Scene Wrap Up

    Hi all! Trying to get organized for this coming year and I realized I needed to wrap the theme of scene editing posts for a time. But like any writing project coming up with the perfect ending or wrap up is a challenge especially when there’s still room to grow. So for now thinking about…

    Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year! And Welcome to 2023. Here’s to new goals, life changes, and overall the same exact habits as last year. I’ve been trying to think how to start this year of blogging but realized my actual first year of blogging won’t be till March, so I have time to figure it out on…

  • Filling Out or Rewriting

    Filling Out or Rewriting

    Hello! Happy Wednesday! My next step in editing after doing the grammar edit is to usually re-read then fill out the areas where there seems to be something missing.

    Grammar, after free writing

    Hi all Happy Wednesday! So continuing in our scene editing process (well mine take what you like and leave what you don’t) what’s next? Truthfully this is really a couple different steps. Usually for me I go through periods of avid writing long scenes and multiple scenes then I get stuck so I go back…

    The First Step

    Happy Wednesday! And a Belated Happy Halloween. I realized too late I missed a golden opportunity for a Monday Meme that was Halloween themed. Next year! Let’s turn to the meat of writing and editing a scene. If you’ve read the other posts the last couple Wednesday’s you’ve got the tools to just start writing…

  • Scene Resources

    Hi All! Happy Hump day! In this post I’m providing some resources I go to when I’m stuck editing a scene, writing the next scene and will use in my next few posts as sources. P.S. had some trouble with hyperlinks since I had to use my phone. Will fix later.

  • Scene Basics

    Scene Basics

    What parts are there to a scene? If you’re like me, the answer is there’s a beginning, middle, and end. It’s a mini-story within the story. A problem pops up that must be resolved or not resolved by the end of the scene.  Some other rules stick in my head but might not necessarily be…

  • Two Weeks Blog 0 WIP 2

    Hi All! Two weeks since my last Wednesday post but my progress on my work in progress (WIP) advanced significantly. I might circle back to dialogue but for now I’m going to move forward and focus on story structure specifically scenes and their parts. Hope all is well!
