This lesson is going to be a quick one because I don’t have a lot of time today, but I also don’t think it needs a ton of explanation.

Open with the first dramatic event

Finding this event will help you figure out the first domino in your story’s line of dominoes that just keep getting knocked down until the last one at the…[Read more]

Avensers Assemble!

Story Embers has a new page. It’s called the Guilds page and it has the Guild Logos and who has won each of the wars. If you click on the logo, you will see a little bio of each of the guilds. You can find it here: https://storyembers.org/guilds/.

Hello, Avensers! 😀

So…NaNoWriMo is just around the corner, and I’m getting more excited with each passing day! 😀

And this is my first time doing nano, so any tips would be much appreciated. 🙂

What counts toward the…[Read more]

Mine are to finish the General and Outlining sections of my outline and send out my blog tour info.

Good morning, Avensers! (Side note: every time I see that word, I want to say “Avengers Assemble!” or something like that)

Today, I am going to start a series on story structure. Because that’s what I’m learning a lot about right now. All of this information is coming from my notes from reading Structuring Your Novel by K.M. Weiland.

The first…[Read more]

Hey Avensers!

Since this is the last theme topic I’m posting before stepping down as Guildmaster, I thought I’d share something that I think is important to every writer’s journey.

Sometimes it seems like we’ll never accomplish our dreams as writers. It feels like that draft will never be finished, we’ll never fix our biggest writing mistake,…[Read more]
