Hello everyone! I haven't done a writing related post for a while (besides my many posts about my new YA novella, Dear Jackson), so I thought that you all deserved something special.

It's been quite a long time since the last writing contest I hosted, so I thought it was time that I had another one! Let me just say that this one has much cooler prizes, and I sort of wish that I could enter. But alas, this is for all of you. So let's get…

Or writers like Walt Whitman, who stood against the boundaries set by…
Hi! My name is Flair, and I'm a half-human-half-Centri (A Centri is a type of... 'alien,' as you Earth folk call creatures from other galaxies). My author, Carynn, suggested that I write a post where book characters can communicate, helping their writers to better understand them. To start off, I'll tell you three things about…
