  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Dialogue in a Scene with a Large Cast of Characters

    Hi All! I hope your week is going well. I am going back and editing scenes where there is a large cast of characters in the room. Think thirty or so people sitting around a table holding a conversation but it’s focused solely on one person. The scene I’m currently in reads a little like…

    Dialouge Resources

    I really love lists, so enjoy the spiral of reading resources I did trying to write my next dialogue article. Do you have any go to resources for when you want to write or edit dialogue?

  • Spaceship Creation Time

    Spaceship Creation Time

    I didn’t accomplish much writing this weekend, but I did spend a lot of time designing spaceships for Peregrina. I can already tell you I’m definitely going for soft science fiction. My fiance is an engineer, and I’ve always been more of a biologist, historian, and geology-type scientist. The hard math is a hard pass.

  • Stuck in the Middle

    Stuck in the Middle

    I always have trouble with the middle parts of a story and scene. Even reading I tend to get bored easily especially now with tv and social media. But at the same time, the middle can really build or set up crucial parts especially in longer series. It’s great for foreshadowing. Starting other plot devices.…

    Written Scenes Too Much Too Little?

    Hello! Hope you all are having an excellent start to the week. Going through Klytië’s manuscript, I realized in all the rewrites, I added and removed details for various plot points that don’t actually mean anything. I have little scenes within larger scenes and go from extensive descriptions to barely any. There are some sections…

    My Favorite Podcasts RN

    Like I said the other week, I love having white noise but lately I’ve gotten into podcasts. Especially as an easy way to learn tips and tricks while cleaning my apartment or cooking or sketching ideas. So here are some of the ones I’ve really come to enjoy.

  • Longer Books & Series Going Out of Style?

    Longer Books & Series Going Out of Style?

    I recently read an article about how the average length of published books decreased by about fifty pages. It got me thinking about how longer series that tell a larger story through multiple books retain readership?

  • Writers Journal, Notebook, Organization

    One thing I run into a lot when researching and building is using a writer’s journal or notebook to organize thoughts. Developing my stories right now. I’m building and writing many different materials and tossing them out the windows. As much as I love handwriting and using folders, it’s much easier to create a lot…
