NaNoWriMo Day 1: This Is Gonna Be Good :)

1 November 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Though this is my fifth year doing NaNoWriMo, it’s my first year ever attending any write-ins or events, let alone the midnight write-in for November 1st! There was quite a turn-out for a late-night, midweek midnight write-in, and it was pretty cool, I have to say. Everybody sort of ended up grouped up with whoever […]

NaNo Season Is Upon Us…

17 October 2013 by Jessica Leave a Comment

I can’t believe it’s already October and there were only a couple short weeks left until NaNoWriMo 2013! This year, once again, I’m trying to push my limits, so I’m going to take on a new genre. This will be one of my first horror/supernatural/fantasy types of stories, and it will be the first attempt […]

What’s In A Name? How the Name Affects Your Characters

28 September 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

One of the first things, and in my opinion, the funnest, you get to do when you start a new story is pick names for your characters. They can be goofy names or poetic names or boring names, depending on who the character is and what their personality is like. A lot of my characters […]

How Buffy the Vampire Slayer Helped My Writing

17 September 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Lots of people might scoff at the idea of “watching” a story instead of “reading” a story for inspiration, but for visual learners like me, it’s a great option. I love television and film just as much as I love reading. And these days, you have to admit, there are just as many bad television […]

Look for A 21st Century Fairy Tale (aka Descendant) Sept. 4

30 August 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

My new book, a fantasy/mystery novella, is coming out September 4, 2012! Originally, I had titled it Descendant, but after some further research, I realized that there were about 3 or 4 pages of search results with a similar title and I didn’t want my book to be hidden among all the others. So, I […]

*UPDATE: Upcoming Release: Descendant

6 August 2012 by Jessica Leave a Comment

Because of my inability to leave it alone, I am way ahead of schedule on the new book. A 21st Century Fairy Tale (previously titled Descendant), my new fantasy novella (it’ll be about 120 pages or so, so I figure that’s about novella length), will be coming out soon. It may not be a full-length […]
