Week in Short

Today is...Friday. Yes? Yes. Sorry I got about five hours sleep last night after staying up until 3:30. I feel like my body's conscious but my brain is still sleeping. I'm hanging out with my niece today though starting at noon so I had to get up early to post this before I left.

Jump -- Officially pulled off the query train. I had some partial rewrite ideas that I think are going to make it a lot better...if I can just figure out how it's going to end. I'm thinking about taking the second half in a whole other direction. I cut 27,000 words in scenes this week, finished the outline for the first half, and am about ready to start rewriting.

The Elite -- stalled at 5k while I try to figure out what comes between the last major plot point and the next one.

Burning Bridges -- My new project. I've decided to do AugNoWriMo with it and it's going very well. I hit 7k Wednesday night.

Everyone have an awesome weekend and I'll see you on Monday!

Loner Main Characters the Norm?

When I was typing up the back summary for PERSONAL DEMONS, a question popped into my head. Why are almost all main characters loners? Think about it. Most of them only have one or two friends at most. They don't involve themselves in a lot of activities. They don't have a lot of dates. They don't run around texting twenty people at once, or even a few. Is that to cut down on the number of characters that have to have a purpose? Is it to keep the story from getting too bogged down in unnecessary day-to-day activities? But the truth is, a lot of teenagers aren't like that. Teenagers don't just have one or two friends. They might have a few best friends and then a long list of extended friends and acquaintances. A lot of teenagers go out on dates, good ones and bad ones. They flirt, they fight, they date, they make new friends and enemies. It's all part of the teen experience. So, where is it in books? Am I just reading the ones with loner main characters (which se...

Just Write It

I hear a lot of questions from writers asking other people if they think something would work. A point of view. A tense. A story idea. A style of writing. A plot point. My answer is always the same. "Write the book the way it wants to be written. If it works, it works." Because, honestly, NO ONE can tell you if something is going to work or not without reading the completed story. And that's not possible unless you write it. So the next time you want to ask someone if a novel should be written in epistolary format, skip the question and just do it. The worst that could happen is you finish the novel and find out that it's not working. And usually if something's not working, you're going to realize it in the first couple of chapters.

He Said, She Said: Dialogue Writing Tips

Dialogue is a tricky thing to get right, but it often takes up a good-sized portion of every book. Dialogue can bring two characters closer together, drive them further apart, reveal important information, and display any number of things. Use double quotation marks to open and close each line of dialogue. If there's a dialogue tag (said, asked, responded, quipped), use a comma, unless the dialogue requires an exclamation or question mark. If there isn't a dialogue tag, then there should be a period, unless it needs an exclamation or question mark. Beware of using an excessive amount of exclamation marks. If there's a lot of tension in a scene, the dialogue and actions of the characters should exhibit that. Also, there should be a new paragraph for each new speaker. When writing dialogue, keep the character in mind. Take their age, schooling, background, and who they are talking to into consideration. People talk differently to their friends than they do to their pare...
