Meeting Your Characters

Meeting Your Characters #writingtips #amwriting

Opinions vary on what makes a story memorable or keeps a reader’s attention but for me it all boils down to characters. If I don’t love the characters, I won’t be invested in a story and if I’m not invested, what’s the point?

Worldbuilding

here

Since this month is all about writing, I decided to have the order of my topics this month follow my writing process. Up first we have Worldbuilding.

This will vary quite a bit depending on the genre you’re writing within. For example, if you’re writing something that’s set in a realistic setting, this phase will be more about research than creation. If you’re writing Mystery or Suspense,…

U is for Unbreakable

NABC Update & What I'm Reading Now (hint, it's by @gailcarriger ) #amreading

As some of you may be aware, we at TLN created “Not Another Book Club” with the intent of having a sort of virtual book club where we could read all the wonderful genre things we love without the snobbery of other book clubs we’ve experienced.  You can read more about that here.

Last month we started a book and quickly discovered that none of us were able to keep up with the reading schedule due…

This postshared by Robert Downy Jr. in which he compares one of his Iron Man gauntlets to a robotic prosthetic for a 7-year-old boy. And he’s totally in character pretty much the whole…
