“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…
So today is the day I start the WordPress “Blogging 101” class on how to become successful at this whole blogging thing. I’m looking forward to learning new tricks and techniques to beef up this blog, and I’m going to do each assignment post as a writing exercise as the course suggests. Today they’re all…
So last night, I introduced a random writing exercise I found in one of my writing books. To reiterate: The S+7 Exercise: Take a line from any text, and begin to copy it. Every time you come to a noun, you look up that noun in a dictionary, then count seven words forward in the…
Once again, I’ve procrastinated writing anything for the blog today, but to be fair, it is a super-long vacation weekend, and I know things will get back on a more regular schedule come Monday. However, I am still committed to one post a day, so here I am. I’ve been flipping through the many books…
I spent a great New Year’s Day hosting our annual Firefly party, which means I didn’t have time to think about writing at all, but everybody needs a day off sometimes. Here’s a photo of the game by Gale Force Nine, which takes up our entire dining room table with its multiple expansions and so many different…
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…
I’m still thinking about the direction of the site, don’t worry. But I’m going to bring this back to dragons today, since that is what this blog is all about, after all. I want to show off my favorite Christmas present from this year: this little Toothless statue, a design by Lindy Briggs from her Etsy…
Last night, as promised, I went searching for a book of writing prompts, something to spur my novel writing along and help me to flesh out the details of my world and story, in a neat little format I could publish here as daily blog posts, in order to keep myself on track and accountable. I…
It is the second day of this blog’s existence, and the fifth — and probably not yet final — layout/theme choice, and I’m still noodling ideas for what to make of it overall. I plan to look for a daily writing prompt book at the Barnes & Nobel near my office tonight, something to give…
