That’s *our* decision,as fans, to make-over and over again. The lights stay on until we say otherwise.

#5amWritersClub I love the checklist for the first chapter.

My first chapter is like a TV teaser. A lot happens in 337 words, but it's not enough time to bond with one of the MCs just yet.

Siiiigh I love being buried under comic burnout. Fantastic feeling.

Gonna be poking at some other things in the meantime I guess.

Hopefully this trip next week will shake some things loose.

Hello friends! The holiday season has done what it always does to me and has thoroughly wrung me out and hanged me out to dry.

Because of this, there will NOT be a January update to 'THoHW', but it will return in February!

Until then, stay safe and happy all!

"How many people are on this page again?"

"Yes."

Why do I do this to myself.

Book Cave has a good article on #scifi #fantasy world-building.

Portal fiction like the Narnia series backloads the world-building until after character introductions.

I start my series in a modern setting to make world-building more gradual.

No THoHW update for June unfortunately! This is a very busy time of year for us in the house, and I've had very little time or energy to actually sit and work.

Ergo my buffer is shrinking VERY QUICKLY! Hoping to fix that as soon as I can!

Thanks for your patience! 💖

Book Cave has a good blog post about villains.

I got compliments on the villain in my first book. Things will be a little less clear-cut in my WIP because there won't be a single villain. I'll have to reread this when I'm further along with book 2. #writingCommunity

Authors spend countless hours building protagonists—layering trauma, dreams, flaws, and triumphs. But a truly unforgettable story often hinges on something else entirely: the strength of the villain.

Book Cave has a good article on setting descriptions that I enjoyed reading.

It reminded me of some tips from Swain’s "Techniques of the Selling Writer" about managing attention. That book is well worth a read.
