#WriteTip – Weather

Weather can often indicate mood or foreshadow plot – for example my main character, Raegan, goes into a nursing home. Having overcast and grey clouds kind of gives a hint to her mood.

Look what I found

I was reading a list of questions with links to the answers by The Paperback Writer. There’s a lot of good stuff over there. But that led me to what seems to be a really good resource for writers who are looking for more info on how to plot, create characters, etc. I haven’t had time to read it all. I was very aware that I probably should have been writing instead of reading about writing….but part of the reason for linking it for you was so I could go back later and read it myself. If you find particularly good parts, feel free to put them in the comments!

Of course, part of the reason I decided to save this for later is because I started reading and questioning whether I’d covered all the things they were talking about in my story and characters and that way leads to madness.

So…enjoy!

Update and useful links

Hi! Last night was really productive. I organized all of my podcasts. Completed 2 of them to make them sound a little better. Put details on all of them and figured out what was left to do. I have Ep 6 and Ep 7 to tighten up and then they’ll all be good to go. I’m kinda passing time until Jackie says Ep 8 is good to go and partly just trying to get it all in order so that I can put them up in one shot.

I set up an interview with Mur Lafferty and I have to send her the questions and arrange a date for the podcast interview.

I’ve also done a lot of re-thinking of my book. I think, sadly, a decent amount of the work already written may have to be “scrapped”/shelved but I think it’ll be a better book for what I’ve got planned. I wrote up a basic character summery of the major players minus one or two and I’ve been going over in my head in small pieces how I want the story to go. I’ll reveal more about it later.

Still working on the template design as well. Now here are is a link to a great article I found on writing at Lifehack.org. It’s about how to get your writing started.
