31 Days of Author Madness: R.S. Kovach
March 11, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I need my laptop, WIP-specific playlist and Pinterest board, and no interruptions to write. I’m usually a planner, so I’ll have at least a general outline, but I’ve been known to “pants” scenes or twists along the way. 2. What inspires you to write? Anything and everything. […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Juliet Lyons
March 10, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I usually start with an idea and jot it down. Then I attempt a brief outline. Often, ideas will fall apart at this stage. After the outline, I’ll write a few chapters to get a feel for the character’s voice. If it feels right I’ll write a […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Elicia Hyder
March 9, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver 1. What is your writing process? I wish I had a normal “writing process.” I would probably be much more productive! Ha! But we have a large family and life often gets in the way, so I grab my writing time in snippets whenever I can. My most productive writing days are when […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Liz Charnes
March 8, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I’m still figuring that out. I would like to be an organized writer, but I pretty much write whenever I feel like it and hope that it works with the plot. Sadly, this means I re-write a lot. 2. What inspires you to write? Other books. Stories […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Claire Kann
March 7, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver 1. What is your writing process? The Six C’s: Coffee. Cat (draped across on my feet). Consult my outline. (write a) Chapter. Cry a little. Check Twitter. 2. What inspires you to write? Not to sound cheesy or like I’m all about that Pixar-life, but the spirit of adventure. I love writing characters […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Tammy Oja
March 6, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Literally throwing thoughts directly on the screen and then sorting it out later. Sometimes the magic is in the slush and trying to filter ahead of time just stops the whole deal for me. I love excavating through it like panning for flecks of gold. 2. What […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Dave Heron
March 5, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I have to be in the mood. Trying to force myself to write if I am tired (two kids and a full-time job, energy is depleted most of the time), really is a terrible recipe for getting a story where I want it. When I sit […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Michelle Jo Quinn
March 4, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver 1. What is your writing process? I sit at the desk and hope for the best. 2. What inspires you to write? Everything and anything. You’ll never know what will spark the mind. 3. Writing is considered a dream job by many, but what if you were granted the opportunity for a true, […]
31 Days of Author Madness: J. M. Butler
March 3, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver 1. What is your writing process? My writing process varies a lot, but at a minimum it involves putting words into some sort of document. Sometimes I act out scenes before I draft them, other times I brew a nice cup of tea and curl up with a book that I love. Other […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Angela B.M. Guajardo
March 2, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver 1. What is your writing process? Oh, goodness. Brainstorm, write notes in tiny, scratchy handwriting that grows progressively smaller as ideas pop up faster and faster. Then there’s a point where I have to yell at one cat or another to stop chewing on the spiral binding, or stop trying to eat my […]
