Starting a new WIP and why it’s hard

Writing is tough. I can’t count the hours I’ve spend staring at a blank Word document, hoping to find a way to wrap my mind around what exactly I want to write. It gets easier the more you do it though, like with most things, but for me, every new WIP is both amazing and […]

Writing Goals for 2013

Happy New Year, everyone! I decided now was the right time to start talking about my goals for the New Year. There are lots of things I want to change in 2013, and one of them is how irregularly I write. For starters, I can go days without writing and then pump out an entire […]

All these villains…

This post is inspired by a thread on AbsoluteWrite talking about antagonists. The thread actually got me thinking more about the antagonists in my current WIP and I’m amazed. Why? Because I have so many! Warning: This post will be rather vague, with mentions of MC1, MC2 and A1 (which means Antagonist 1), as opposed […]
