I was lucky enough to have a holiday today, and I managed a bit of vacation planning, but I’ve nothing to report on the writing front. However, I did find this cute sleeping dragon picture. Happily, tomorrow things should go back to their more usual schedule of writing after work (and maybe blogging during work),…
Here in the upper Midwest, we’re suffering through an arctic blast of cold weather, with wind chills reaching dangerous lows of -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius). I wish I could say I was holed up all day writing, but to be honest, I spent a little while staring at the supposed rewrite of the…
I’ve been a fan of role-playing games for more than half my life, starting with World of Darkness and Shadowrun, and soon finding Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and now Pathfinder. It’s a fun, interactive, and cooperative way of storytelling that certainly nurtured my love of alternate worlds, where anything can happen. I especially loved the…
Two days to go until I’m supposed to put down this chapter and move on to the next. Two. Days. So, I know — why don’t I just completely rewrite the chapter instead?? Brilliant! In order to keep on schedule with my grand plan to finish the first draft by the end of the year, I…
So today I am still going to focus mainly on finishing the first chapter. But I’ve been debating whether or not to share an excerpt with you lovely readers for a few days now, and I still haven’t come to a satisfying conclusion. In fact, wondering which part to share of this chapter has made me even…
So here we are, two days past my self-imposed deadline to finish the first chapter of the book, and it’s still not quite done. I knew once I graduated that not having real, hard, consequential deadlines might trip me up a little bit, but I thought I had a good plan. Giving myself a deadline…
So, it’s Day 4 of Blogging 101, and to be honest, the assignment is asking for a longer post than I feel I can commit to, after the wonderful progress I made last night on the first chapter of Finding Dragons. Because I only have four days until my self-imposed deadline and I really want to…
So today’s Blogging 101 Day 3 assignment is to follow five new tags in the WordPress Reader, and also five new blogs. When I first started this blogging adventure, I only glanced at the Reader occasionally, thinking I was “too busy” to read other people’s stuff while I tried to write a post a day…
“Take control of your title and tagline,” the assignment for today says. Funny enough, I actually changed the tagline slightly just yesterday, while I was watching my number of page visits and views climb through the roof. My “Why Writing Dragons” post was by far my most viewed of all (two weeks) time, so thank…
Hello! And thank you for visiting my site. My name is Jamie Lyn Weigt — pronounced “White,” like the color — and I’m a writer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’ve written articles, short stories, and longer fiction, but this blog is dedicated to the fantasy YA novel trilogy I’m currently working on. I’m calling the first book in…
