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. A few months back, I contacted Stephanie Morrill (author of 'Within These Lines,' 'The Lost Girl of Astor Street,' the 'Ellie Sweet' series…
Hello everyone! I probably should have done this post on the 1st, but I've been experiencing really bad writers block lately and I didn't really have anything to share. If you don't know what NaNoWriMo is, you can go check out the details on their website. If you do, read ahead! As some of you know,…
I haven't done many posts on the art of writing itself recently, so I decided to post about something I genuinely love about writing: Portraying emotions through fantasy characters, and in doing so connect to the reader so they can live the emotions through said characters. It's magical, isn't it? Being able to put words…
As the last shred of light descended over the horizon, the world plunged into eternal darkness, leaving only one person standing on the earth. A girl stood alone, dark hair that matched the empty sky cascading around her shoulders. She had only two things in her hands, a notebook and a pen. As the ink…
Sometimes, Writers Block is really bad. Notice that I capitalized it? That's because it's a monster of entirely its own species. It feeds on writer's weaknesses and keeps their dreams from becoming a reality. But who is the culprit? If Writers Block isn't a physical being, what is it? It's you. Maybe you're bored with a…
Teen authors H.G Warrender ('The Way She Sees It' culture podcast) and Carynn Bohley ('Precipice') talk about the process of writing a book, short story, podcast or blog, and answer your writing questions. - - - As some of you know, my cousin H.G Warrender and I are hosting a writing livestream tomorrow, Wednesday the…
Let's face it, writing is a hobby that makes us naturally susceptible to rejection. Sure, there are the writers like Jack Gilbert, who published world-renowned poetry and then disappeared for years at a time before coming out with his next piece of writing. Or writers like Walt Whitman, who stood against the boundaries set by…
I started a blog just for roleplaying as our characters. Come check it out- it’s hosted by Flair!
Here’s a little quiz I made for all of us characters. People think authors do all the work, but we do all the work and they get all the credit! Why do they get their names on the front of the book, but not the very beings that hold up the walls of the story?
Sorry, sorry. I tend to rant.
So anyway, take this quiz to find out what kind of character you are. In other words, how you move the plot along and effect the story. Enjoy!
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…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've been writing a new book that I've really been enjoying. It's a middle grade, but I really think that it can be enjoyed by older people, as well. I could use feedback, so if you don't have the time (or interest) grab the closest kid and have…
