Pronouns…Those beautiful words that make the world complete. Let’s face it trying to say who or what something is would be hard to do without them. So you have to appreciate the need for them as well as be conscious of over using the same ones. To be honest this is probably more than IContinue reading “He said/She said…Pronouns”

Chapters
Chapters, most books have some kind of chapter separation. However, I have read some that don’t. When should you use chapters? Have you decided whether to or not? Personally, I chose to use them in fact so far I have…like twenty-eight chapters in a four hundred and some page novel. Which to be honest IContinue reading “Chapters”
The Dreaded Blurb
Blurb, what a strange and yet entertaining word to say lol. I say dreaded blurb as most of us dread the moment we have to write one. Honestly, until I started this blog and my Facebook page I just thought it was called a summary. I don’t know where the name came from but hmm…holdContinue reading “The Dreaded Blurb”
Words
We as writers love words. Of course we do; where would we be without them? Personally I have loved learning new words since I was a kid. Even to this day I still learn new ones every so often.

Small Talk

Killing Characters
None of us really want to kill our characters…Or do we?…(She laughs maniacally, Muhahaha) In reality people die everyday so why not put death in your novel? It is a necessary event to happen for many reasons. Seeing as though I talked about love and intimacy in my last two blog posts, I felt likeContinue reading “Killing Characters”
Intimacy/Sex
Sex and Intimacy in a story/novel can seem like a difficult thing to do. Alright, so I realize talking about it may be a touchy subject at times. Whatever your thoughts are about it, come on, keep reading. Maybe if you read about it, then it will be easier to write about it. Some novelsContinue reading “Intimacy/Sex”
Writing Love
Love…Oh the “L” word to top all “L” words. You don’t have to write a romance novel to write about love. It is included in almost every story in many different ways.
