Gabriella's First Check-In
Gabriella’s First Check-In
Blogging twice in one week? That’s got to be some kind of record for me. (Usually it’s one post, and then I disappear for months at a time.) But I figured because I’m excited about how much writing I’ve done recently, it was about time for me to do my first official check-in.
A little background on my WIP, Harbinger: It’s technically existed since my sophomore year of high school. I’ve been…

Books to Film: A Monster Calls
Books to Film: A Monster Calls
Minimalist poster designed by my friend Hannah Walker.
The adaptation showed up just after midnight. As they do.
And I was waiting when it came, because I’ve been ready for this book to be made into a film since I first read it in 2012, five years ago.
A Monster Calls owns a piece of my soul, I think, which is usually cause for alarm with a thing that is in the hands of other people, but I…

Writing Wednesday: Why do we do this thing called writing?
Writing Wednesday: Why do we do this thing called writing?
Hi Adventurers!
L.S. Mooney here. I’m been a little MIA since my announcement that Fall Frivolity was being postponed, much for the same reason the anthology isn’t ready. Adulting is HARD. I hope to news about the anthology in the next few weeks and I am hoping for a new release date in November. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, have some words from me about why we do this thing called writing.
I’m…

An Update and a Check-in
An Update and a Check-in
Hello Adventurers,
It has sadly been a while since I’ve been around here. As it always seems to, life has gotten the better of me.
Firstly, I need to let you know that the Fall Frivolity Anthology has been postponed. It is still happening. And soon. But we will not be ready for the first day of fall later this week as we had hoped. We’re still really excited about it and we’re going to make it…

Media Monday: Writing Tech-niques
Media Monday: Writing Tech-niques
Forgive me for the really terrible pun in the title of this post, but sometimes you have to resort to them.
I wasn’t certain what I should write about today, but then, as I sat on my bed every night this week, struggling to juggle homework and projects, I picked up my phone one more time than I needed to. (Actually, probably a dozen more times than I needed to.) I picked it up because I’d already…

Writing Wednesday: Making Mistakes
Writing Wednesday: Making Mistakes
When it comes to being educated about the writing craft, I consider myself very much a noob. I’m still learning how to beat passive voice, how to make my characters fly off the pages, how to plug in plot holes to keep the entire book from leaking. I will probably forever be learning about my voice and my favorite ways to structure a sentence, not to mention how, in general, to write a novel. How…

List of 5: Excellent Resources for Revision
List of 5: Excellent Resources for Revision
There are a lot of guides around the web for drafting, brainstorming, and actually writing, but I feel like there’s less about an equally important aspect of a writer’s life: Revision. That’s why I’ve compiled some of my favorite guides for revision here. Peruse, take what you need, and get going on those edits!

For those of you who like to productively…

List of 5: Fictional Mantras
List of 5: Fictional Mantras
If you’re anything like me, you’ve found strength before in fiction. It’s gotten you through some of the toughest times in your life, and you can point to a specific phrase in a specific book, and remember how you felt when you found it, how it gave you something to hold on to while you struggled.
Maybe that quote is something you repeat to yourself to gain confidence. Maybe it’s just a really…

List of Five: Things that Give me Goosebumps
List of Five: Things that Give me Goosebumps
If you are anything like me, you love creepy things. Stuff that go bump in the night, ghosts leaving trails of creepy sounds and pictures, any sort of horror movie that pops up on the big screen, that feeling that you’re being watched, etc. For whatever reason, I love those kinds of feelings. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I am the kind of person that bursts into laughter after being…

Writing Wednesday: Notes from Summer Semester
Writing Wednesday: Notes from Summer Semester
Four days ago, I returned to Illinois from Hollins University, where I spent the last six weeks in my first summer of graduate school. While I was there, I met so many great people, fellow writers that I know will have my back when it comes to anything from delineating the borders between different types of fantasy, to recommending half the books in Barnes and Noble for me to buy.
I also got…

Check-in: Lys (& All Her Crazy)
Hola! I hope the summer is treating you all well. Wherever you are in the world, think fondly of us in Southern Virginia, where the heat and humidity is so bad every window in my house is fogged when I get up to go to work.
I’m going to break from the usual Thursday book review to just do a general update on where my noveling adventure is at (which, I think, all of us will be doing at some…

Things I've Read: THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP by Nina George
Things I’ve Read: THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP by Nina George
Hi Adventurers!
I just got back from a nine day trip to Europe and I am exhausted. BUT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. One of the places on this trip was Paris, France. In effort to get [even more] excited about it, I decided to read THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP which I picked up in a cute little indie bookshop in Lake Placid back in April.
I mean, all Paris affiliations aside, how could I not want to read a…

List of Five: Talking Animals
List of Five: Talking Animals
One of my not-so-secret ambitions in recent year has been to write a talking animal story. There are actually a lot of different variations on the talking animal, ranging from xenofiction (where the animals behave as they actually would in real life, and this is reflected in their thought processes) to animals that simply stand in for humans (as they do in a recent book I read, El Deafo). For…

We’re Back and We’re Looking For New Members
I bet you’ve noticed that we’ve been quiet for a while. Our members have had a lot going on in our lives lately including a book launch and baby as well as grad school and just that pesky thing we call LIFE.
Anyway, I’m here today to say that we’re coming back this summer! Well, some of us are. Unfortunately we are saying goodbye to several of our members. However, the good news is that we now…

5 Resources for Writing Male Voice
5 Resources for Writing Male Voice
I was a little surprised when a literary agent told me I write the male voice better than female voice. Perhaps I shouldn’t had been surprised, considering I used to always choose male characters for RPs (nerrrrd) and I’ve never written a manuscript that didn’t have a male POV included (most had an actual male protagonist).
In the project I’m currently drafting, I am trying to use this skill to…

Things I’ve Read: ‘The Dark is Rising’ by Susan Cooper
Sometimes revisiting your childhood favourites after years can be a disappointment. Then there are books like Susan Cooper’s THE DARK IS RISING sequence.
I confess that I originally read them all out of order when I was very young, so I had no clear picture of the overall sequence. Despite loving the books, it’s taken me a long time to come back to them (I draw a veil across my brief engagement…
