Characters

I'll be using this space to post character sheets about some of my characters. I'm still looking for a template I really like.

Trains

Hullo all! I missed a couple weeks as I was on vacation - more to the point, I was on a train! Orson Scott Card once said, “Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don’t see any." I believe this is especially true on a train. Everyone on board has a different story: from the young couple backpacking across the country; to the young family taking a day's excursion; to the attendant who has been working the rails for twenty years; to the businessman typing furiously on his laptop the entire trip. What are their stories? Who are they? Where are they from, and where are they going? What made them decide to take the train instead of some other form of transportation?  So many stories just sitting right there in front of you, and that's just the people on the train with you. What about the big cities whose twinkling lights shine in through your window late at night? The sleepy towns...

New Year, New Projects

Welcome to 2017, all! I recently saw a meme (that of course I can't find) about expectations for the new year. It went something like this: Anxious friend: What do you think 2017 will bring?   Optimistic friend: Flowers. I think it will bring flowers.  Anxious friend: How do you know? How can you be so sure? Optimistic friend: Because I'm planting flowers.  Just a little thought to remind us, that if you want things to get better, sometimes you have to put in a little bit of work and make it better ourselves. Me, I'd like a little less stress in 2017, which generally comes down to how well I've organized my life. To help with this, I've started a bullet journal, which seems to be working pretty well so far. It might just be an excuse to get to use pretty pens, but we'll see how it goes through the year. My latest writing project is centering around a book I got last year: 90 Days till Your Novel. Thus far, I've managed to get up every day before ...

NaNoWriMo Prep

October basically serves one purpose - preparation for NaNoWriMo . There are a lot of different theories out there for what needs to be done before one delves body, mind, and soul into November. Planners, those who like to have detailed outlines at hand before they start writing, spend October working on those. Pansters, writers who fly by the seat of their pants, allowing their plot to be tossed about by every wind of virtue, spend October catching up on sleep and TV shows. Plantsers, those like myself who are a mix of both, do some pre-planning, but allow for the story to wend where it will. Whatever category you are in, it's always good to take care of a few things before November strikes and you have no time for anything else. Here are a few things I like to do: Tell family and friends that I'm doing NaNo . This has a two-fold purpose: Accountability, and they already expect it when I say "no" to the countless invites as the holidays approach. Speaking of...
