I've been up to a lot recently. First off, if you missed my Youtube debut, you can check it out here! And if I'm not as entertaining as my dog, you can at least watch more of her antics here. We all know she's the real star of the show. Second, I'm… Continue reading Recently

What is Hypergraphia?
I was up late last night trying to fall asleep, and a lot of things were swirling around in my mind. Things like- Why can't I sleep? Why do I get so much energy at midnight when I'm so tired throughout the day? Why did I ramble for so long in my video?… Continue reading What is Hypergraphia?
My Writing Process
I thought I'd try something new today! I recorded myself talking instead of writing it all down for you. I talk a bit more about the "A Day in the Life of..." series, and then I talk about my writing process. I'm highly distracted (thanks, Astrid!) and very rambly, but it was still fun!… Continue reading My Writing Process
Identifying Excess Characters
In every story, there are main characters and then there's everyone else. Sometimes those other characters are just there to fill space and don't have names. And then there are those other characters who have names, lines, and even contribute to the advancement of the story. And every so often, there are those… Continue reading Identifying Excess Characters
A Day in the Life of…Allie May!
I announced a few weeks ago that I was planning on having some guest posts on my blog. I want to hear about different writer's routines! But instead of all that edited advice we always hear from famous people, I want it to be honest. What do you actually do when you're trying to… Continue reading A Day in the Life of…Allie May!
Currency in World Building
Last week, Magic Writer shared another post about World Building, this time about currency. I got to preview this post before it was finished, and I gave Elise some tips for it, but she had so much more to say than I even realized went into creating currency for a book. And now I'm… Continue reading Currency in World Building
A New Year
2015 is ending on a pretty good note. I finished my first draft of Powerful, and I'm halfway through with the edits for the next draft. I'm happy with the progress I'm making on my writing. 2016 will hopefully be a big year for me. I'm registered to attend LTUE again in February. Last… Continue reading A New Year
Books and Stuff
I've spent the majority of the past few days reading. The Dragon and the Scholar series by H. L. Burke is a series I have been dying to read for over a year now, and I'm so excited to finally have my hands on the books. If you want to check out my reviews,… Continue reading Books and Stuff
Merry Christmas!
This week has been crazy busy for me! Family came to visit and their flight home got delayed after a whiteout snowstorm, we had a wedding, and now it's Christmas! Whoo! I haven't done any writing recently, but I figured I'd share a bit about what I got for Christmas. What I received-The… Continue reading Merry Christmas!
Titles
Over the past week, I've been brainstorming book titles with some of my writer friends. For me, Powerful came easy. The title was there before I even started writing. But for other books, it's taken quite a bit of time to name. I always give my books a temporary working title, but coming up with… Continue reading Titles
