Free for 4-5 days! -Sean Stone This is an interesting new series with a hero that kind of isn’t a hero.

Book Review: The Stolen Kingdom: An Aladdin Retelling -Bethany Atazadeh
I’m still not one for fairy tale retellings mostly because I find they’re overdone and redundant. We know the end because they’re familiar tales, so it is rare that I find an author who is able to take a classic and turn it into an exciting read.

In Hidden, all dragon and names given to the Arelian race were colours that matched their skin tones. This was actually statedContinue reading “Naming Characters: What’s in a name?”
Naming Characters: Who are you?
Naming a character might be a bit like naming a child. Except in this case, I already know the character intimately because as the author, they are someone I’ve spent a great deal of time creating and thinking about. I know their personality, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and weaknesses and how they’re goingContinue reading “Naming Characters: Who are you?”
The Writing Process: Outlining
Now that all our disjointed ideas are starting to take shape, it’s time to take one more step before typing that first riveting sentence of our first draft! Again for anyone writer who might say, I don’t plot! I fully hear you. I tried plotting when I wrote my first few manuscript attempts and spentContinue reading “The Writing Process: Outlining”
The Writing Process: Structure
In my previous blog, I talked about what brainstorming looks like for me so today’s focus is going to look at what I do with all those notes and scrambled ideas. Once I’ve spent a sufficient amount of time working with an idea, looking at possibilities, filling in gaps, asking questions, etc… I take theContinue reading “The Writing Process: Structure”
