  • Jan 2025 Book Recommendation: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

    Jan 2025 Book Recommendation: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

    Intro It’s time for the first reading recommendation of 2025! I’ve got a lot of great books that I’m looking forward to sharing with you this year, so deciding which one to do first took some thought. But, in the end, I figured that you can’t go wrong with a good old Sanderson novel. Skyward…

    What to Expect From the Blog in 2025

    Intro With the new year upon us, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to lay out the road ahead. While there won’t be many changes to the sorts of posts I’ll be doing this year, there will be some things that are going to be a little different from last year that I’ll…

  • Dec 2024 Book Recommendation: Black Widow: Forever Red by Margaret Stohl

    Dec 2024 Book Recommendation: Black Widow: Forever Red by Margaret Stohl

    Intro For our last book recommendation of the year, I thought we’d do a fun, geeky read. As a long-time Marvel fan—and especially a Black Widow fan—I was very excited when I learned that there was a novel about her.  But, whether or not you’re already a Black Widow fan, there are lots of reasons…

    How I Design My Characters

    Intro As I’ve mentioned before, I’m an artist along with a writer, and being able to do my own artwork has proven to be a very useful—and fun—skill to have, especially when paired with my writing. I’m fortunate enough to have an advantage that a lot of writers don’t have, as I don’t necessarily have…

  • Nov 2024 Book Recommendation: The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan

    Nov 2024 Book Recommendation: The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan

    Intro Ever since the success of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Rick Riordan has been among the most well-known middle grade authors of our time. He’s expanded his universe with not only more Percy Jackson books, but also with series that follow completely different characters who are dealing with completely different pantheons of gods from…

    How I Create Settings

    Intro Unless you’re writing something that takes place in the real world, with absolutely no made-up locations added to it, you’re going to have to do a bit of worldbuilding. Whether your story’s set in the modern world in a made-up town, or on a totally different planet, it’s important to have at least a…

  • Oct 2024 Book Recommendation: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

    Oct 2024 Book Recommendation: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

    Intro Fall is now in full swing, so I thought it would be a good time to share one of my favorite fall reads. Plus, there’s a fair amount of creepiness in it as well, making it great for spooky season. If you’re a fan of YA fantasy, you’ve almost certainly heard of Six of…

    How I Write Action Scenes

    Intro I’m just going to go right out and say that I love writing action scenes. Whether they’re fight scenes, chase scenes, or anything in between, they’ve always been one of my favorite things to write. They pretty much guarantee excitement and also often serve as a great place to show how characters act under…

  • Sep 2024 Book Recommendation: Renegades by Marissa Meyer

    Sep 2024 Book Recommendation: Renegades by Marissa Meyer

    Intro As someone who loves superheroes, I’m happy that superhero novels are slowly becoming more and more common, to the point where even a bestselling author like Marissa Meyer wrote not just one but a whole trilogy of them. While Renegades definitely isn’t quite as popular as the Lunar Chronicles, it is regarded highly by…
