NOVEL WRITING SCHOOL FOR ROMANTIC FANTASY NOVELS LIKE SILVER SKIES

Gab Share

Rereading posts about character development in writing novels. Won’t reveal how I’ll plot the main story though – no spoilers! I’ll just mull over all this stuff and let the outline I’ve created for the end jell in my mind. I’ll know when I ready to write the first draft cuz after reading all this, inspiration will hit me and it will come out like a flood. That’s how my writer’s mind works. https://gabriellechana.blog/silver-skies-1996-version/

These are my favorite posts from writing instructors, who seem to me to know what they’re talking about. Having written several books, I find these posts most helpful. If you are as busy as I am, a lot of these posts have an audio version that you can listen to while doing something else. Because a lot of writing skills are useful for ALL genres, those who write any type of novel may find these posts useful.

“Don’t doubt in the darkness what God told you in the light.”

Writing Question of the Day: Does your character’s job play a role in the story? #WQOTD

Fiction revolves around relationships: a romantic couple, parents and children, friends, even a man and his volleyball. #writetip

Conflict is an important ingredient that can sometimes get lost amidst the clutter of too many characters. #writetip
