Go slowly. Love your story. It will wait for you. ~ Allan G. Hunter Happy Wednesday, everyone! This bit of writerly wisdom comes from the blog of fellow writer Rosanna at Writing on the Pages of Life. I found her site through last week’s Discover Challenge — she submitted a wonderful piece called “Zen and the Art…
“Write what you would love to read. Finish what you begin to write. Your voice is uniquely yours and we are all waiting to hear it.” ~ Jody Lynn Nye This is a wonderful bit of inspiration from Jody Lynn Nye, the author of one of my favorite books growing up — The Dragonlover’s Guide…
Today’s writing quote comes from the always amazing J.K. Rowling: “The idea of just wandering off to a cafe with a notebook and writing and seeing where that takes me for awhile is just bliss.” She said this in an interview she gave just a few days after the release of the final Harry Potter…
Wow. That is one crazy Steampunk Dragon by Turkish deviantartist kerembeyit. The detail on it is amazing! I had to share it, even though in my search tonight I was looking for more of a cyberpunk versus steampunk look. That’s because I got some pretty good advice tonight from some fellow writers about what to do…
It’s nearly the end of Wednesday, the day I’m supposed to post some Writing Craft and Wisdom, but my own writing has just been so stuck lately that I had no idea what to even say. That’s a great quote from David Sedaris, a favorite of mine, but really, I feel like if I could…
Today I want to share a great piece I read about why we read and write fantasy that really struck a chord with me. I admit, I’ve often felt my own story isn’t “fantastical” enough on this first pass through, because I’m also trying to portray real cultures (the hunter-gatherers, the river culture, the City-State, etc.), but…
And here we are at Wednesday, so according to my big new plan (that I’m following about… 85% of the time, I’d say, so that’s good) it’s time for a Writing Craft post. I realized the other day that I hadn’t read any fiction in a really long time. I couldn’t remember the last novel…
Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans… I really wanted to finish chapter four by the end of this week, but it’s just not going to happen. But I am happy about what I’ve written so far this week on that promt about the bonfire ritual, and I plan to keep…
Despite getting knocked over the head by the Good Idea Fairy from yesterday’s post, I didn’t get enough done after work to have any hope of wrapping up this chapter by tonight (or at least, this weekend) unless I skip today’s post and just keep on writing. So please enjoy this motivational poster I found, and perhaps…
I’m determined to post every day, but it’s New Year’s Eve and I’ve got a busy day planned, so I’ll just leave you with one of my new favorite quotes. It’s just another reminder to myself to finally finish a story I’ve started, and I feel like I have a good plan for 2016 to…
