by Suzanne D. Williams I taught myself how to write, developing a method over time that, though unusual by some standards, really worked for me. I do what I’ve recently heard called “writing in the dark.” Without an outline or character charts, without backstory, I take the barest concept for a story, sit down, and write. This makes […]

by Suzanne D. Williams Being honest, there are a lot of bad books out there. I never realized how many until searching the book sale lists daily. Don’t get me wrong. There are a lot of good books as well. And excellent writers. But, though there is something to be said for having a gift […]

by Precarious Yates One of the best things about being an indie author is the whole idea of creative control. We get to tell the story we want to tell in the way we want to tell it. I tell you what, this was a major draw for me to delve into independent […]

by Suzanne D. Williams A lot of blogs start off this way and then proceed to give the ins and outs of writing. This isn’t one of those. Instead, what’s impressed on me is less the how-to of creating a book than what I wish I’d known when my life as an author […]

by Mary C Findley My NaNoWrimo project for this year is called Mapped Out Murders. NaNoWriMo, by the way, is a project to write at least 50,000 words on a new novel project during the month of November. You need to write a little under 1700 words a day to reach that goal. […]

by Precarious Yates I have heard from so many writers recently who feel like they can’t go on. It’s a long hard marathon, and when you have little support, it feels interminable. “Should I keep going?” “Is my writing even good enough?” “What is the point if all anyone wants to read is smut?” […]

by Lisa M. Prysock A warm hello to you on this fine October day! I’m sharing about the message of my writing and my newest release in this brief four minute author video interview filmed at my home and hope you enjoy it. Here’s the link to the video, and below it is […]

by Suzanne D. Williams It is ironic that the topic bothering me right now is the antithesis of many writer’s goals in November, but frankly, coming up with 50,000 words in four short weeks is a little ridiculous without a great deal of planning. Now, this isn’t to make fun of any writer’s efforts. The statistics on success […]

by Suzanne D. Williams I stared at the page, unsure what happened next or even if what I’d already written fit into the story. Frustrated, I blew out a breath and saved my work, closing the software. I’d try again another day. “Try again” because the only writer’s block I ever have comes from lack of vision. I hem myself in with outlines […]
