Good afternoon, squiders! It’s snowing here after being in the 80s all week. As it does. We’re about halfway done with the month! I think, to be on track for my 25K goal, I should be at…oh, like 11.7K. I’ve
An Exercise in Creative Thinking
Hey-o, squiders. How’s it going? My brain is still in full freak out mode about figuring out the plot order at the beginning of the book, fully convinced this is the hardest thing it has ever had to do, somehow
Killing My Darlings
Hey, squiders. You’ve probably heard the term “kill your darlings” before. Some people take it to mean that you have to get rid of anything you truly love about a story to make it better, but what it really means

It’s that time of month. March’s prompt from WriYe reads as such: Planner, pantser or plantser? Why? Okay, quick runthrough for the new people (because we’ve definitely talked about pantsers and planners before)–planners outline before they start writing, pantsers start

Already Distracted
So, yesterday, my spouse woke up and was extremely upset about his lack of camping and specifically backpacking this summer. And I said, “Look, we’re super busy this month, so the only day we have to go is, well, today.”
Moving On (And a Finished Draft)
Apologies, squiders. I started this hours ago but then got distracted by Ghost Hunters. Man, I love ghost hunting shows even though I don’t actually believe in ghosts. Oh well. So, as promised (or at least hoped for), I finished
New SkillShare Class Up!
Oof, squiders. I always forget how long the video portion of a class takes. In my head, every class–and this is my fifth class–the hard part is putting together the PowerPoint part of the class, and the recording part is
Troubleshooting Your Outlining Issues
All right, squiders! I think this is the last bit of the outlining book. And from here, it’ll be time to go back through all the nonfiction book posts, put them together, and see what’s missing. Woo. Outlining issues essentially
