Isn't that the most awesome thing?!?!

It's accurate, humorous, and writer-ish. Why didn't I come up with that? A huge thank you to whoever made it!

Ain't that the truth
The same board

As a shout out everyone braving #NaNoWriMo, I'm rounding up a few of my favorite writer websites. More accurately, these are simply four sites that help my writing. They arrange from obvious sites to some you might not guess. Let's go!

1. Helping Writers Become Authors is run by K.M. Weiland. She's an award-winning author. Featuring thousands of posts about story theory, structure, worldbuilding, and every other writing subject, it's an a treasure trove of knowledge. And it gets better. Weiland also responds to any writing question you email her, and for an easy starting place, check out the Storytelling According to Marvel Series.

2. Gail Carson Levine runs a blog of mainly writing advice that all starts with her readers' questions. My personal favorite things are that she includes other readers' advice in her posts and that signing up for the email list gets the entire post in your inbox. Plus, it's a great way to keep up with her new books.

3. Plinterest may seem like an odd choice, but it provides inspiration, character pictures, and short articles. It also is a useful place to store/find handy information like a writer may need. Examples would be types of bone fractures and the basics of archery.

4. Thriftbooks is a wonderful, wonderful place. New and used books for almost nothing, it also carries textbooks and provides free shipping for any US order over ten dollars. (Ten dollars in books? That's not even a struggle!) And it gets better. As you buy books, you automatically earn points towards honest-to-goodness free books.

Some days are like that for a writer...
Still the same board

Well, all you amazing NaNoWriMo-ers, hope maybe some this post helps - if not now then later. Hang in there. There's only nineteen days of madness left.

To every writer who isn't doing NaNoWriMo, maybe this will inspire you one way or the other. That's my constant hope with this blog, after all.

Via Pinterest I've been playing the "how late can I sat up reading?" game for a couple nights now. It's going to get me in trouble. It really is. And I have work tomorrow, so.... Via Pinterest But anyway, today I'm writing about my favorite books. I promise to limit myself to about five or so, but cut me some slack, okay? Words are pretty much my favorite of all time. Via Google The Book Thief  by Markus Zusak Set in World War Two, this is the story of an orphan, a fist-fighter, and the power of words. But no one can know Max the fighter lives with Liesel's family. If they are found harboring a Jew, all will change. In this time of chaos, Max and Liesel both find hope and refuge in books and writing. Via Google The Children of Hurin  by J.R.R. Tolkein A story from before Lord of the Rings , a man is forced to watch every member of his family fall to tragedy and madness. Captured by Morgoth, Hurin sits and watches hi

Via Pinterest Please remember that it's okay to cry. Please remember that strength can mean talking too. Please remember that tomorrow brings another sunrise. Please remember that your laugh is a magical thing. Please remember that now will change. Please remember that you are alive for a reason. Please remember that all of this mess will work out. Please remember that hope changes everything. Please remember that dreaming renews your hopes.

From "The Dragon Books" Annnddddd........ We're back for a Teaser Tuesday!!! For anyone who doesn't already know, The Dragons' Stones  is the novel I completed last year. It's synopsis is  "Princess Ciara must retrieve the fabled Dragons' Stones or face life imprisonment. Aleksander hopes that by helping her with this quest, he will make peace with regrets from his past." From "The Dragon Books" No, I'm not going to tell y'all why this prompt fits into The Dragons' Stones . Just know that applies.  Now, it's time for the teaser. Today, it's from Ciara's perspective. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I paused below a window as worry rolled down my shoulders to the ground. I knew. I remembered. I sighed with relief and kept moving until I was out of the village. Beyond it grew a forest. I marched between the trees. The wind hissed among their leaves, and then I
