There are a number of elements that go into crafting a good story/novel/series; plot(s), setting(s), conflict and, of course, good characters. So how do you go about creating a good character?
For most of the past week, various thoughts on what I was going to do for this month’s goals have been kicking around in the back of my head. And while I maybe haven’t decided to use all of those random notions, I have made a few choices.
July was a bit of an unusual month. I accomplished some things, failed in others. I had one or two realizations, one or two good moments, maybe even one or new opporchancities.
My answers for the Twitter games I participated in for July. This month it was #AuthorConfession, #MythCampNaNo, #ShareWords, #WIPjoy and #WIPTruthorDare.
I’ve been working on my first draft of House in Exile on and off for a while now. More off than on this past month, to be truthful. But leaving that aside, I’ve also been a bit haphazard which parts I’m working on.
I’m going to start off with an assumption but I think it’s a reasonable one. If you’re a writer, then you most likely have a web page or blog of some kind. The question is; what are you posting on it?
As I said during one of my earlier posts this month, I wasn’t sure how much I would get done… Read more The month so far…
I got a nice little surprise the other morning. The very generous Raimey Gallant nominated me for a Liebster Award. I guess this means I’m doing something halfway decent with this page.
This one is going to be a little trickier than normal since I have some time away to factor into my plan. How this is going to effect things is open to some debate but I’ll be prioritising family & friends over the writing.

Think about all the fictional worlds you love. I’d be willing to bet that one of the main reasons you love them is how detailed they are and how real they feel. So how do we apply that to our own writing?
