Guilt trip time...
Your story world's going to be the biggest flop ever if you don't write it down! :P

Have you ever gotten an idea for your story or story world, and then forgotten it because you didn't write it down?

If you don't experience the world around you, then you have no business building a new world.

What is one way that you have incorporated your experiences into your story world?

As we go through this month's theme of world-building, here are some encouraging memes for you to contemplate.

Does your plot contain holes? Better patch 'em up before your plot sinks, dragging you with it!

This month's theme here on the blog is World Building. Hook your reader by placing characters in an intriguing world. Otherwise, why would your reader care?

What story world is just itching to come out of you?

Same with your characters. What dream does your MC have?

Have you ever used coincidences in your stories? In which way did you use it?

Do your characters make your story easier or harder to write?

What is one thing that you need to change about your MC?

This month's theme is Character Building...

What is one "rule" that you think people need to ditch when crafting characters?

Monday Memes - July 29th, 2013

If you're having trouble getting the perfect hook set up in your story, don't lose heart! If you work at it, you'll discover one of three things:

1) My novel just needs XYZ (and then you can implement that)
2) It's just not going to work having XYZ.... (change it)
or
3) The whole novel isn't going to work.

If #3 ^ happens to you, take it as a good thing. You won't have to waste time trying to hook the reader with a story that doesn't work. Instead, you can focus your attention on another story that has potential to hook people and drag them under into your story world.


Is writing hard for you?
Have you ever shelved a project?

Have you ever been hooked on a book because of the writing style? 

Or brilliance on the part of the writer?

Excellent writing can make even the dullest story interesting.

Are you bringing your novel to it's full potential? Use description effectively.

Hi Writers!

Welcome to the first post in Monday's series. Mondays is when we'll be posting memes, quotes, and videos to encourage you, make you laugh, or get you thinking about writing in the new week ahead. (So even though it's called Monday Memes, it'll have other things too. :)

This is so true, and we can all be victims of it.

What is one thing you do to ignore the internet?
