July has been a challenging month for my writing goals. It has been full of distraction. Here I shall share insight on my writing life, or what’s been pulling me away.
Book Review: Save the Cat – Writes a Novel
This book came highly recommended on Instagram and when Bethany Atazadeh and Brittany Wang did their #STCExperiement - YouTube videos of them using the book to outline a novel - I decided I had to get it so I could join in.
Book Review: Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
This is the first book in the series that I have read and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The funny thing is I first heard about this book at YALC 2017 when they were promoting it with #RedQueenForADay but it had taken me almost two years to pick it up to read.
The Story Snippets Challenge
Here, in this blog post I am going to collate and share all my snippets in one place that I posted for the #StorySnippetsChallenge
YA Author Spotlight!
Author CL Walters was looking to feature writers on her blog and I got picked. You can read her post about yours truly by clicking here.
Planner Meet
Last month, I attended a local meet up for Planner Girls. I’ve never been to one before so had no idea what to expect.
How much development do you give you Secondary characters?
Personally, I spend quite a bit of time developing my secondary characters. I like to know what makes them tick so I can ensure they remain true to who they are.
Thank you to my followers
This week my blog reached 250 followers.I am really proud of myself for keeping it going. Life with a newborn is super busy but I just try to write one or two articles a week. I easily could have let this go but since starting my blog I love it.
What theme is heavily portrayed in your story?
My work in progress, Jewel of the Sea, has romance, coming of age, friendship but one of the strongest themes is metamorphosis.
Do you keep notebooks of story ideas?
I use the Simple Note app for jotting down ideas as I always have my mobile phone with me. I do have physical notebooks but tend to use them more for development.
