This is a bit weird…I’m writing this, but by the time you read it, I’ll be wearing a backpack somewhere in Asia. So, really, it’s like I’m reaching out from the beyond. I’m a ghost!
*ghost noises* Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic.
Anyway, I just wanted to mention that before I ducked out the back door and left Becca with all the work (sorry Becca!) I did a mad hop across the internet, guest posting all over the place.
And heck, there might be some good nuggets out there waiting for you. : ) So I’ll leave a few links below in case you want to check them out.
First up, do you know what the 5 Biggest Mistakes are when it comes to describing the setting? Just head on over to DIY MFA and find out!
Are you writing a protagonist who has been wounded deeply and now has a hard time trusting other people? I wouldn’t be surprised. Many characters have vulnerability issues, and if yours is one of them, you might find Vulnerability In Fiction: Teaching Jaded Characters How To Trust helpful to read.
Are you drafting a new novel and feeling a bit insecure? It’s okay if you are–many of us feel that way at times. That’s why I designed this writing pep talk: Be Braver Than You Ever Thought Possible.
And finally, one of the biggest decisions you will make for each scene is where the action will take place. Setting can make or break your scene, so stop by Kobo Writing Life and read Writing Powerful Scenes: Why Choosing The Right Setting Is So Important.
Happy Writing!
