    Writing Rewind #6: Chapter 4 Part 1

    Writing Rewind #6: Chapter 4 Part 1

    On our last trip down memory (and cringe-worthy) lane, Heiwa, with some persuasion from the folks in his life, decided to go on the life-changing mission aboard the UNMEI. It took 10,000+ words for him to come to that conclusion. We are literally 30,000+ words into this story and just hit the official start of… Continue reading

    Worth 1000 Words #9: Snowtober 2011

    Some of you, particularly those of you who reside in the northeastern United States, might remember the freak snowstorm of October 2011, which resulted in near state-wide power outages and general icy desolation in some areas. It was Halloween weekend. My parents were visiting for a few days, and would be taking my grandmother (with… Continue reading

    Writing Rewind #5: Wings of Fate Chapter 3

    Writing Rewind #5: Wings of Fate Chapter 3

    When we last left off on Writing Rewind, Heiwa met a new friend named Daisuke and attended a “mysterious meeting,” which announced a year-long mission on an airship under the command of the cold, icy, frigid, glacial General Matthias von Schneider. However, Heiwa doesn’t believe he can go because of his obligations to his mother… Continue reading

    Writing Techniques: Place Names

    My strategy for place names is similar to my strategy for character names, which I previously discussed in a blog post here. By similar, I mean it is almost exactly the same, but there are some nuances worth discussing. I know a lot of folks trend more toward the “don’t sweat it” when it comes to… Continue reading

    The Woodpecker

    I have always had a complicated relationship with birds. I actually think birds are pretty awesome; I mean, they come in so many shapes and sizes! Penguins are the bomb, owls are rad, falcons are fierce, and hummingbirds are adorable. I especially LOVE pigeons; whenever I travel to different cities, I make sure to take… Continue reading

    Writing Rewind #4: Wings of Fate Chapter 2

    Last time on Writing Rewind we got a kickstart into this bloated disaster of a story as our hero, Heiwa, received a letter imploring him to attend a mysterious meeting. Is he finally about to embark on the adventure he’s always dreamed of and achieve the chance of a lifetime? Probably. I mean, there’s still… Continue reading

    Writing Rewind #3: Wings of Fate Chapter 1 Part 2

    I can feel a headache brewing already… which means it’s time for part 3! Last time, we met our beloved hero, Heiwa, who lives in the countryside with his grouchy grandmother and his terminally-ill mother. Now, we get the first taste of the plot, as Heiwa receives a mysterious (and likely poorly written) letter… KEY/GUIDE:… Continue reading

    Dir: Stella Meghie Starring: Amandla Stenberg, Nick Robinson Runtime: 1hr 36min Spoiler Level: Light, mostly; discussion of the ending will be below a “Read More” and will be preceded by a bold warning. I have a policy about films with approval rating below 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is to not spend money to see them… Continue reading

    Writing Techniques: Music

    When it comes to my own writing projects, I typically construct playlists to listen to while working. I LOVE when I read a great book and the author includes a list of songs they listened to while writing, either on their website or in the back pages. It helps readers get a glimpse into their… Continue reading
