Hello there, dear followers~✿
You thought you were going to get away this week? Ha! No dice. It’s Friday, and you know whatthat means. It’s time for the Friday Artsy Reminder!
((You say that this update is late? Bah! A writer is never late, they arrive just when they mean to!))
*AHEM*
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN (and everyone else not covered within that binary), I AM DELIGHTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW THAT TODAY IS — INDEED — A GREAT DAY TO ART. WHETHER IT IS WRITING, DOODLING, OR MAKING MUSIC, TODAY IS...

[ROYALTY AND NOBLE BLOOD]is a writing mix about feudal dynasties, bad blood, and royal turmoil. This playlist contains 15 of my favorite tracks for writing in a feudal/medieval setting. Unlike my other mixes, though, this one evolves like a story— at first it is calm, a new day, and little by little the mood heads into darker places. Threats of war. A nimble hand poisons a cup of wine. Moonlight reflected on the point of a dagger. Watch your back, your Majesty…

Before I say anything, I want to remind you that if you haven’t voted on what my next Writing Playlist should be, you should do sonow. Democracy, huzzah!
So, it wouldn’t be an episode of The Life of Max without me apologizing for something. And today’s something was kind of big. Again, I am sorry that no new Virtual Writing Academy went up today. I got wrapped up with some personal things, one of which being a death. I found myself with the choice to push Writers Unite or the VWA, and I thin...

I want to take a moment to thank Sarah, who recently sent me what has got to be the most amazing Writer’s Care-Package ever. I am not kidding. She packed that little box with so many goodies I was speechless :0
It contained…
An awesome card
A pen with like 9 million different colors
Sticky notes! I love sticky notes
4 owls with inspiration and writing awesomeness!
2 scrolls with creative writing prompts!
A BIG BAR OF WHITE CHOCOLATE (MY FAVORITE)
And, like, if that wasn’t enough— at the bottom of...

Hello, dear followers~ ♥︎
Recently I got abunchof questions about the difference between Showing & Telling, so I thought that I would summarize my thoughts on the subject as a slideshow!
Of course, those of you who have been following my blog for ages can guess my thoughts about this ‘Show VS Tell’ debacle. Personally, I feel that Telling (the act of Summarizing) gets a reputation for being a lesser tool— which I disagree withgreatly. Show and Tell are both important tools of th...

LIVING MOUNTAINS
Write a story from the point of view of a character looking at a beautiful natural wonder. The catch? This character is in another planet. Double catch? Suddenly, this character realizes that the mountains… are moving closer, and closer.
