It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. The awesome co-hosts for the August 6 posting of the IWSG are Ronel Janse van Vuuren, Natalie Aguirre, Sarah – The Faux Fountain Pen, and Olga Godim! I had something different planned for today, but that update can wait for next month… …
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I like to look back on the year in November as I don’t blog in December. It’s a good way to measure where I am and how far I’ve come — and if I’ve managed to meet …
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another posting of the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. I’ve been reading a lot lately. I’ve been doing various readathons and what stood out to me is how villains are used. It also made me think of a post I wrote over a decade ago about …

But characters, they are why people come back. I’ve looked at writing characters before: Writing Characters: A Case Study. That was a longish post with loads …
