There are probably plenty of other river gods, but they won’t enter into the story. For instance, if you have a girl who lives by an angry river, and if you have a river god in your story, the river god will probably be part of your story, because people will try and appease the river god so the river won’t flood.

We get better as we go along, and as we revise-the most important part in my writing universe. Or something else, which you can suggest in the comments.Įvery writer on earth makes mistakes. Could be hanging “For Fun” signs around your laptop or wherever you write. Could be writing down the criticism on a slip of paper and stuffing the paper into a piggy bank. Could be a spell that you recite every day before starting. We-you!-need to find a way to put the judgments aside. Self-criticism hobbles us and gets in the way of finishing our stories. The thread that’s run through most of my posts on every writing topic has been the damaging effects of being too judgmental about our writing. Thank you!įor those of you who, like me, are worrywarts, I’m fine-and busy, working on a new book (the medieval murder mystery) and getting used to and loving our new puppy, Tess. A special shoutout here to Christie V Powell, who has commented often and always helpfully.
Please know that the prompts are for you to use-you don’t have to worry about copyright issues if you do.įor now, I’m going to leave the blog open on this website for you to continue conversations, and I’ll keep an eye on what comes in. And I’ve invented enough prompts to set off a lifetime of writing. By now, though, I think I’ve touched on every major writing issue more than once, which you can search for right here. I’ve loved writing to you here for over thirteen years, and I’ve been delighted to watch the community that’s developed and how helpful you’ve been to each other. Second off, I’ve decided to stop posting to the blog for a while at least, leaving open the possibility of starting up again. And there will be a couple of events coming up for my new book, Sparrows in the Wind, which will be released on October 25th, so please keep an eye on the page. Details are here on the website on the Appearances page. First off, I’m going to be signing books at two book festivals in New York’s Hudson Valley that are coming up in the next few weeks.
