• A Steaming Cup of Familiarity...

  
  Writers Gone Wild — Authority: 419
  Ive been thinking a lot about rituals lately. No, not the religious kind. But rather the kind we rely on, almost subconsciously, to give form to our days. My favorite part of the day is actually the end of the day. One, because that means reading time. And two, because thats when the kids are all down and I treat ...

• Writing Prompt by Bella McPherson

  
  The Plot Cafe — Authority: 118
  A writer is only as good as her ideas. That is why it’s frustrating when writers run out of inspiration. In fact, most put down their pens for weeks at a time due to disappointment. Writing prompts come in handy in situations such as these because they serve as a catalyst for bigger, better stories. To assist you ...

  Witchy Chicks — Authority: 423

• Girly Stuff

  
  Anthony Pacheco: Hack Writer — Authority: 413
  I like to believe, as a male writer, I write a good female protagonist. In my Investigator Lexus Toulouse sci-fi murder mysteries, Lexus is a three-dimensional character that seems to resonate with my female readers in a way that I don’t quite understand. Actually, I take that back. Part of the reason I can write a ...

• Back in the Game Again

  
  ~ Creative Burst ~ — Authority: 116
  Okay. I was sidelined for about two weeks as I worked on lowering my word count. And I also tweaked my query letter, infused it with more personality. It’s longer, but I really felt my other letter lacked voice and characterization. I did get a couple of bites, but with tastes so subjective, a couple is not enough. ...

• How to Write Distinct Characters

  
  Superhero Nation: how to write superhero novels and comic books — Authority: 425
  Your readers have probably read about heroes with any given positive trait, particularly if the trait is commonly associated with a protagonist in your type of book.  (For example, a detective is almost always more cunning than a barbarian).  However, this is not inherently problematic.  If you’re writing a ...

• Multidimensional Writing Experience

  
  Wyatt at Pan Historia — Authority: 103
  There is a lovely multidimensionality in starting up a new character for a collaborative writing/role play project at Pan Historia that feeds all my creative urges at once, nearly.

  The View From Here — Authority: 122
  Remember me? From that cheesy 70s TV show? Next step as I stumble through this storyline is the love interest. If you’ve read any of my books, you know he is bound to be a manly man with a manly name. Manly men have monosyllabic names. It’s a Rule. Deal with it: Sam. Will. Mike. Rourke. Rand. Greg. Tom. ...

• The Company I Keep - the objects of my sympathy

  
  Wuthering Expectations — Authority: 492
  My experience of a novel depends as much on a sympathetic response as anyone elses.  The question is: with whom, exactly, do I need to sympathize?  Readers of Wayne Booths The Company We Keep: The Ethics of Fiction (1988) know where Im going, even though I was well aware of everything Im about to say before I read ...

• The Sympathy Project

  
  Wuthering Expectations — Authority: 492
  How crazy is it to say this: The development of the idea of sympathy in 19th century literature was one of the great achieves of the time.  Im slighting the 18th century Germans. The success of Pamela (1740), the first modern novel, depended on a very crude idea of sympathy.  Richardson identified or chanced upon ...
