Halloween Q & A

Halloween Q & A time! I was tagged by K.A. Dowling and HollieMarie213 for this post. 1. Are you a scaredy cat or a horror aficionado? Scaredy cat! I don’t want dark stuff in my head.

Audiobooks and Newborns

I have discovered audiobooks. Meaning, I listened to my very first audiobook last month and am slightly enamored with them already. I don’t regularly read more than one book at a time, unless they are dramatically different. For instance, if one is non-fiction.

July Writing and Reading Progress

Interview with Jacob Devlin, author of The Carver

The Mathematics of Writing

I thought I’d share some interesting mathematical facts about planning to write a 50,000 word novel and having an outline of plot points. For my current work in progress, I used the seven point structure: Hook Plot Turn 1 Pinch point 1 Midpoint Pinch point 2 Plot turn 2 Resolution Now, traditionally, these are set… Read More The Mathematics of Writing
