There comes a time in every writers life when you have to take a character and throw him into the worst possible situation ever. Those times are really tough to write, especially if that character is a particular favorite of yours.
One of my friends is writing a story in which one of her characters has [...]

Character Development
Posted in writing on April 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When I sit down to write, I tend not to plan. To me, it seems that if a story is going to work, it’s because the story already there. It just needs to get put down on paper. No planning necessary.
A while back I had found this website. I was thinking of using it for [...]

I hear so many people my age, who don’t ever spank their child, [...]
