Last week we talked about opening lines, this week we're talking about ENDING lines. Endings in general, I don't think are anyone's favorite. No one wants to see the end of a good story. They can also be freaking hard to write. But endings are important because nothing, NOTHING is worse than an ending that … Continue reading “Snow comes after fire, and even dragons have their endings.” (book endings)
Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 33
"I mean pants are basically a chair that you wear." SOMEONE (me) should really go home instead of shopping for upholstery at the craft store. (I just want to say that the selection was horrendous. All the fabric either looked like it came right out of 2008 or was taken from an old car.) I … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 33

“Begin at the beginning, and when you come to the end, stop”
First off, you all have my deepest apologies for not posing last Saturday. My brain had become a squash, and squashes don't talk, they don't think, they don't move, and they certainly don't write. They just sit there and look cute and make good projectile weapons. That's what I am. BUT, today you got something. … Continue reading “Begin at the beginning, and when you come to the end, stop”

We Found Inspiration in a Weird Place
I had a dream a giant flaming meteor had hurtled into earth and like half the buildings in New York were going down and we were all like "yep, that's 2020". Fun fact (that may or may not come in useful when writing): you can hear a car knocking over a street lamp from 1.5 … Continue reading We Found Inspiration in a Weird Place
