How do you tell if you’ve written a Short Story, a Novella, or a Novel? I’ve seen this question asked by other Writers a lot. So I felt like it would be a great next topic to cover. Normally you will hear me say or rather read, that I am all for creativity and lettingContinue reading “Is it a Short Story, Novella or a Novel?”

Choosing a job or career for your characters can be an experience to say the least. There are several ways to do so. But as writers we feel pressured to pick the right one the first time. So it may feel like it has to be the perfect one. I am here to tell youContinue reading “Jobs for characters”
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?

The Dreaded Blurb

Villains, antagonists, bad guys (or girls), whatever you want to call them they will have an essential part in your story. How devious or vicious they are depends on how you write them of course.
