I'm going to share a random line of world-building that I wrote for chapter 6. I'm strangely proud of it and two major scenes in the story take place in a Deadman's. Keep an eye out for a store near you.

Deadman’s Market was the only convenience store chain in operation in Hollow County. There were six stores in all and this one was the biggest. It was built up in the early 90s by a national big box chain that wanted to get a foothold here. That plan soon went belly up when they assessed the major cost of risk insurance needed to operate here. When they cleared, Deadman’s took it over, gutting the store of the chain’s branding and wearing its hollowed out husk as a new skin.

Wednesday Writing Tip: Chapter Book Ends

Sometimes when I am struggling with a chapter, I write the first few paragraphs and the last few paragraphs. I give myself somewhere to start, and I give myself somewhere to end. Once I have a start and an end goal, writing the middle feels less intimidating. It’s just a matter of filling in the gaps!

When Valerie awoke, she was no longer on the ground.  Someone was carrying her and she had someone’s jacket wrapped tightly around her bare body.  Someone was gently, tenderly lowering her into a bed loaded with comforter and quilts.

“Be careful of her head, Ray,” said an older woman.  Valerie vaguely became aware that a young man or boy was…

How many drafts are too many drafts??

How many draft of something do you let yourself do before you publish/post something? I’m on draft 9 for my novel. :o I keep telling myself that I’ll stop at 10, but I’m not sure. Most of my fanfics go through only 3 drafts! How the heck did i get to 9?! 

Here comes another Camp Nano Wrimo and I’m torn about what to write. I really want to work on my novel (since it’s almost done), but I also want to work on Resident Evil Dreamscape and all the wonderful Supernatural plot bunnies I have stowed away.

Should I roll a dice? Flip a coin? Just write whatever I feel like at the time? Does anyone have any advice?
