• Let’s Write Sadness

  

  Picking up from where we left off, we’re talking about sadness or grief today. The topic was suggested to me by someone in the writing group I belong to on Facebook. Love was also suggested and I’ll definitely delve into that one, but I think it might need to be spread over more than one…

• Let’s Write Anger

  

  Friends. Writing is difficult. Especially emotions, which are pivotal in crafting realistic characters. At first, we write super interesting actions for our cast. But then, we slip into easy repetition. He gave a look. She nodded. They shrugged. Or unforgivable redundancies like ‘he glared at her angrily’. *shudders* The worst part is that we don’t…

• The Writer’s Supply Network

  

  Hang around writer’s forums long enough and you’ll soon see that there are many fake service providers out there. People who claim they’ll help you polish your manuscript before the world sees it, then disappear with your cash. And since so many people are self-publishing these days, the demand for indie service providers is on…

• Neekerbreekers

  

  I love Tolkien. I’ve loved his work since I first discovered his stories when I was about fourteen.

• Noob Writers Unite

  

  I had a conversation about writing with my cousin, as we often do. Afterwards, I kept thinking how great it would have been if I’d known which mistakes to avoid when I just started writing. Yes, I could have googled something stupid, like how to write a novel. Today, the ‘duh’ is weighty enough to…

• Stuff for Writers

  

  When you tell people you’re writing a novel, they’ll probably react in one of three ways. 1) You’re insane. 2) Ooh, that’s cool! 3) You know, I’ve always wanted to write a novel (this, by the way, is said with the greatest frequency). This post is for everyone in the third group. I’ve been following…
