Developing Ideas

By lexicon On October 14, 2012 · Add Comment
This is actually a supplement to my article on the Magnificent Nose site, where I wrote about inspiration, and how I was inspired for my new story. The thing is, it’s very easy to be inspired, but where do you go from there? I’ve spoken to people who say that they have all these ideas [...]

By lexicon On October 6, 2012 · Add Comment
I know, I’ve neglected this blog terribly in the past few months. But I’m about to start a new and exciting series that will be closely linked to the articles I’m doing for Magnificent Nose, an group blog I write for.

In Defence of Beta Readers

By lexicon On June 25, 2012 · Add Comment
Warning: Rant ahoy! This is not directed at anyone in particular, it’s just a general trend I’ve noticed that’s really, really peeved me off. The beta reader is the most underrated role in the writing process. People think that it’s a simple job – why, they’re just reading a book, aren’t they? It’s the easiest [...]

Why Write?

By lexicon On June 24, 2012 · Add Comment
Now that my baby has gone out into the world of beta readers (was going to say big bad world, but my wonderful readers are neither big nor bad), I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about why I write.

Showing and not telling – in first person

By lexicon On November 16, 2011 · Add Comment
First person is very easy to slip into just telling, because you are in someone’s head. Don’t forget that a lot of the time, there’s things you miss. You do things without noticing you do them, and usually only know about it when it’s pointed out by other people. One example is my main character, [...]

Character Quirks

By lexicon On May 11, 2011 · Add Comment
One of the main issues I have with characterisation is that my characters, more often than not, end up feeling like pieces moved as the plot demands and not much else.

Planning the Plot, Part 2

By lexicon On March 20, 2011 · Add Comment
In the end, I planned my plot the old-fashioned way – with pen and paper. You can see that I’ve drawn a timeline for each of my characters. It’s not obvious here, but the timeline of all the background events is the one titled ‘Rabble’. I’ve also added extra events for characters as necessary – [...]
