Drops of Inspira

This is my first time joining the wonderful  Christine Smith  and a bunch of other wonderful writers in her three-month Know the Novel link-up for writers in these final months of the year. I'm completely nervous, having never done anything like this before, but also very excited.  October's theme is  Introduction  which is the post featured today.  Earlier this month I announced that for the months of October and November I would be switching projects from Harbinger  to Tear   in honor of NaNoWriMo, using this month to prepare. So without further ado, let me introduce you to my novel. KNOW THE NOVEL: PART ONE: INTRODUCTION Q 1. What first sparked the idea for this novel? A 1. Well, most of my novel ideas, (no pun intended), come from questions. I had this question pop into my head, "Where does Writer's Block come from?" This story was born out of the quirky answer that I came up with. Q 2. Share a blurb! A 2. I warn you this is an ...

Hello! This month has been chaotic with an unusual amount of planning for next month's writing project so I apologize for the silence on here. Stories aside, I do  also write poetry which is part of the reason I look forward to Poetry 15th  every month. I had a hard time choosing the prompt for this month, but at last I settled on the unusual. This is October which has a long history steeped in weirdness. (I'm looking at you, Halloween .) Yeah, I know that it's not  Autumn-ish or even Halloween-ish or October-ish. No bright orange, red, or gold, but bear with me. Outer space is unusual too, and I love the stars! Please feel free to use the above as a prompt for your own poetry or story or whatever. If the only thing I've done is to be a drop of inspiration in your life, then I'm happy. If, however, you feel like posting your poetry result in the comment section below know that this is a PG environment. (Please, no language or sexual content.) ...

 Happy October 1st everyone!  I’ve realized that it’s been a while since I’ve done a post like this and I to let you in on some things I hope to accomplish this month.  So, last month I finished up character development for my WIP (work-in-progress),  Harbinger . I felt I knew these characters well after spending three years with them, but there were still secrets uncovered. A few of them fought me tooth and nail and it was a week before they gave in, but I feel so much better about them now. This month I would go into location development where I would flesh-out the locations in this book, but I’ll be working on starting a new project.    Tear  is the title of my NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) project that I’ll be working on in November. To prepare for this, I’m taking the entire month of October to workout the idea, doing some basic plotting and brainstorming so I can hit the keys running in November. I’m excit...
