    Advent-a-thon

    Today kicks off the countdown to Christmas and the last slice of 2016. Who’s ready for 2017? Last month was July. Right? Ha! Well, I do love this time of year. There’s just no other month that is so general and yet so specific in all that it encompasses. It has a “feel” to it. […]

  • Epilogue

      What do you think of epilogues? Are they overkill or handy summations? For me, it depends. I like a well-paced story. I get frustrated when the pace jumps abruptly to the end and everything wraps up quickly and thoroughly. It is synonymous to having a great outing with someone who has just realized they are late for […]

  • Details

    Storytelling is in the details. Most stories when broken down can sound just like any other story. “Girl meets boy. Events happen. They fall in love. They live happily ever after.” “Life is good. Bad event happens. Battle ensues. Someone prevails.” “Life is ordinary. Something is discovered. Events take place. New inspiration is found.” Details […]

  • Commitment

    Commitment to a goal is a key part of fiction. The main character will stop at nothing to reach that goal which might be clear from the beginning or unfold over time. It might multiply or narrow down, and seem unattainable at times. The protagonist may even lose sight of it, but her/his commitment to reaching […]

    Beauty

    How significant is beauty when considering a protagonists attributes? At this moment I can’t think of a novel that the protagonist didn’t possess some form of beauty. Katniss is a kick-butt competitor who doesn’t need outer physical beauty to achieve her goals. Yet I’m pretty sure there was no doubt even before Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal that she […]

  • Attitude

       I pulled an April Fool’s joke on myself — I never took my first day of A to Z out of draft. Ha! So A to Z Challenge begins now — April 2 🙂 How much attitude should a character have? Sometimes it’s a secondary character who gets to take the most risks with extreme […]

    The Write Life

    Reflections from a big weekend at the Pikes Peak Writers Conference. In short, it was amazing as usual. My fellow writers have been making posts about their experiences and it has been fun to see the personal and shared takeaways. Inspiration is in bloom. The theme that threaded its way into my personal experience: “You got this.” […]

  • Garden

    I’ve been enjoying my Easter flowers today and thinking about garden to life comparisons. “Friends are the flowers in the garden of life.” — proverb “Where flowers bloom so does hope.” — Lady Bird Johnson “Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.” — […]
