This post is aimed more towards my fellow writers. I have been absolutely riveted the past few days by the most helpful book in the world (and that’s only a slight exaggeration). Friends, if you haven’t read this book, go buy it. If you’ve read it but don’t own it, go buy it. I’m serious.Continue reading “Plot Vs. Character”

Plotters and Pantsers
One of the questions I get most often as a writer is “Are you a plotter or a pantser?” I was actually thinking about answering this in my recent Q&A, but I realized that this question begs an explanation. So for those of you who haven’t heard of these terms, here’s a quick explanation. Plotters: PlottersContinue reading “Plotters and Pantsers”
Some Fatherly Advice
For as long as I can remember, my dad would send my sisters and I off to school with the same words. “Have a good day. I love you. Shine.” This ritual began after Dad overheard a rather heated argument about what should be the last thing you tell your kids before they go toContinue reading “Some Fatherly Advice”
My First Q&A!
Hi everyone! So today I’m attempting something new. I asked people on Facebook and Twitter to ask me questions to answer here. They didn’t have to pertain to writing (though most of them did). Depending on how well you like this, I’ll try to do these regularly. You don’t have to wait for one toContinue reading “My First Q&A!”
An Important Lesson (or two or three)
It may come as no surprise, but narrowing down my experience at the writer’s conference to one major lesson, or even a few, has proved to be rather challenging. So I’ve put together a list of the most important things I learned. 1. How to deal with rejection. This can actually apply to more thanContinue reading “An Important Lesson (or two or three)”
A Slight Delay
Hi all! I know I said I would post once during the week and once on the weekends, but I’ve just returned from a writing conference and I’m exhausted (plus the Tony Awards are tonight!), so I’ll be posting tomorrow for the weekend post. I’ll continue and do two more later in the week.
The Promised Update
Hello all! I don’t plan on posting back to back days, but this is my only free day during the week. As I promised last week, here is an update on me! I just finished my sophomore year at Taylor, where I continue to study Professional Writing, with a minor in Theatre. I was involvedContinue reading “The Promised Update”
My New Favorite Disney Movie
I saw Disney’s newest movie yesterday and, at the risk of extreme judgment, I have to say that I liked Maleficent more than I liked Frozen. Now, before you come after me with pitchforks and torches, let me clarify. I really enjoy Frozen. It always leaves me smiling. I’m not saying it’s a bad movie,Continue reading “My New Favorite Disney Movie”
I Return!
Greetings readers! I don’t know how many people still actually read this blog, but I’m back! I’m not going to bore you with my excuses for not posting the last few months, but I will make you a promise. For this summer at the least, and hopefully beyond, I will be posting here twice aContinue reading “I Return!”
Writing Advice from a Pro
As some of you may have heard, I had the great privilege of sitting in a talk given by the illustrious Jerry B. Jenkins this afternoon. Most well known for his work on the “Left Behind” series, I was much more impressed by the fact that his 181st book was released this week. He hadContinue reading “Writing Advice from a Pro”
