  Plotter vs Pantser: Where Do You Fall On The Scale? Hello my fellow writers! I bring you a fun blogpost about plotters and pantsers, the two types of writing planners. Well, the two extremes of writing planners. All of us fall somewhere on the scale. Alright, we’ll be going over plotters, pantsers, and the scale, along with a brief explanation about what I’m talking about. What Are Plotters & Pantsers? Plotters and pantsers are the two different types of writing planners. And by that, I mean: how much do they plan before they begin writing.  Plotters will do a lot of up-front planning, and pantsers(or, discovery writers. More on that later) do not.

It just means that they spend more time in the after fixing plot holes and things like that, while plotters try to take care of that stuff in the before.  Okay, next up, I’ll talk about the extremes, and th...

  Retelling The Tales: All About Fairytale, Myth, & Legend Retellings Hello my fellow readers and writers! Today this blogpost is all about fairytales, myths, and legends.

Now, this is not taking a book that you’ve read and essentially copying it. This is taking oral stories, myths, and tales and twisting them. Retellings can be very similar to the original version, with nearly everything being the same, just told as a full story. Or, more commonly, the retelling is based off of the tale.  Some prime examples would be Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan , with the Greek gods and mythology being accurate, but twisted about to fit the narrative, and Cinder by Marissa Meyer, with the original fairytale elements staying the same, but with several things very different. ...

All About Storm of Blood, One Of My Writing Projects Hello my fellow readers and writers! I decided that I wanted to share a project of mine that is very close to my heart, Storm of Blood, with you all! I will be talking about the characters, setting, plot(with minimal spoilers), my progress, my hopes for this story, and more! So buckle up, because this is going to be a long blogpost! The General Idea Storm of Blood is a Dark YA Fantasy full of politics, majikya, and trauma. Majikya is Storm of Blood’s word for magic, and there are some countries that have majikya, and others do not. This story is about two main characters: Storm, a Warrior of the King who is feared amongst the nations, better known as Halálvihar, and Lancelot, the Crown Prince who is secretly trying to depose his tyrant father. Characters I’ll cover the main characters, some important side characters, and touch briefly on some of the less-important side characters.  Warrior Storm, or Halálvihar St...
