My writing hiatus has taken its toll on my creative side so today I thought I’d use not just today’s blog challenge for Day 19 but also a writing prompt from a random plot generator. Day 19 is to describe an alien invasion in 500 words or less (although due to combining two things I […]
What makes someone a writer? Hold on, I got this one, wait… could it be… possibly… writing? My money’s on writing. I would think that is what makes someone a writer. Playing Candy Crush on Facebook all hours of the day and night certainly does not qualify one as a writer. For those unfamiliar with […]
This may sound all lame and boring but normally I spend my Friday and Saturday nights writing… tap tap tapping away on my laptop.

There is a time period in everyone’s life when they stop, look […]
Researching for your novel is a key factor in whether or not it succeeds. Too many people write one dimensional characters or describe places so poorly it doesn’t allow the reader to visualize the location or the interactions. To prevent ill-defined characters or weakly described places, time must be invested in researching, in developing both… […]
Problematic is such a great word and I use it so much in my life. Actually, that’s not true. I never say the word problematic unless I’m writing. Don’t get me wrong, lots of things are problematic in my life, I just never use the word. I tend to ignore problematic things. Take for example […]
