Authors: Christopher Paolini

NaNoWriMo: I’m Halfway There!
Having never attempted NaNo before, I’ve never realized how consuming it is. Especially when you set yourself a goal that is double the normal NaNo goal. HOWEVER… I AM OFFICIALLY […]
Random: If They Say So…

Writing: Does It Ever Get To You?
Have you ever gotten so deep into your writing that it starts to get to you? I feel like my characters are starting to stalk me while I sleep. This […]
Books: Miami International Book Fair

News: Sing, Sweet Nightingale
So, it’s officially official. But it’s also a long story, so I’m going to go back to the beginning. After I wrote Sing, Sweet Nightingale, I wanted to get to […]

Seriously! I’m very pleased with myself. I’ve managed to keep up some of the momentum yesterday even though I spent most of the day at work and therefore away from […]
Writing: Staying Motivated
Sometimes, it’s not writers block and it’s not lack of time, it’s fatigue that stops people from writing. Nathan Bransford is an agent turned kidlit author who recently posted a […]
Writing: My NaNoWriMo Novel
Remember that NaNoWriMo novel I mentioned yesterday? I think my participation is becoming more compulsory because I officially have 10,094 words. Right now, looking at that total (the sum of […]
Writing: NaNoWriMo
I just realized that I may inadvertently be participating in National Novel Writing Month… How does something like participation in a huge, nationally recognized, and somewhat frantic race to the […]
Plot: Figuring Out The Middle Bits
I am just over 56,000 words through my novel My Own Prince Charming, but unlike the last time I hit this mark in a project, I’m not fighting my way […]
