“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.”
Virginia Woolf
Writing Dialogue
One book-related thing that makes my skin crawl is writing with no new paragraphs. Especially dialogue with no new paragraphs. *gulps uncomfortably* I just—no. I can’t. So I’ve put together the rules I’ve found work best for me when writing, and thought I’d share it with you all!
Character Development Take Two!
After arguing a bit with my characters—okay, a lot—I decided that I needed to get to know them better. And what better way to do that than to fill out my old character sheets?! Well, um… I wasn’t a big fan of my old sheet, so I went back to the drawing board and found something that will work much better.
Purple Prose
Have you ever read or written something that’s just so fancy and beautiful and… simply wonderous? Yeah. Same. But did you know that it has a word? Oh yeah. Introducing: Purple Prose.
Character Development
Do you ever write something and then realize that all your characters are terrifyingly similar/bland/unmemorable? Yeah… me too. That’s why I’ve created an easy-to-use character sheet so you can flesh out your friends before they make a fool of themselves on paper.
