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…
Full original post by Anuj Agarwal, find it here: http://blog.feedspot.com/2016/01/08/top-100-writing-blogs/ I came across this list today through the #14 blog on this list, Writers Write, which I follow on Facebook. I’m reposting it — reblogging it, I guess, a new thing for me — here for anyone interested, and keeping it as a resource for myself…
Today’s Blogging 101 Day 5 email challenge was all about experimenting with new themes and layouts for your blog, “even if you’re happy with the one your first chose.” Well, the theme I use, called the Expound Theme, is certainly not the first one I chose — I spent hours trying out dozens of layouts, colors,…
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…
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…
