Five for Friday: Beginnings
Originally posted on Story Empire:
Ciao! Today is a “Five for Friday” post, and I thought it might be fun to see how a novel begins. I don’t know about you, but I find beginnings to be difficult. I’m an outliner, so I have a plan when I start and I know what I want.…

Your Magic Garden

Hello SErs. Harmony here. Have any of you heard of a walled garden for fiction? I hadn’t until last year. And once I saw it in one place, I came across it in a whole load of other places. Other names it goes by are Magic Garden and Secret Garden.…

How often do you unplug? #writinglife

Hi, SEers. Mae here hoping everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Today, I’m rolling out a topic that’s dear to my heart—unplugging. In our technology-crazed, social media-driven, always-on-world, unplugging is a necessity. Did you know there is even a National Unplug Day in the U.S.? March 1-2 sundown to sundown…

Surprise, it’s a case study

Hi Gang. Craig here again, breaking rules left and right. I’m surprising my colleagues today, because I’m supposed to pick apart a book cover. We have assignments on Fridays, and I don’t feel like it today. We can learn a lot from covers, but I think that knowledge is finite.…

Happy President’s Day to all the Story Empire readers! Best wishes to everyone and enjoy the day if you have time off. Being a writer is lonely and being a self-published author can be trying to the nerves as you constantly juggle writing, publishing and marketing. The latter can challenge…

Friday Writing Question: What is?
Originally posted on Story Empire:
Hey, SE Readers. Joan here today. It’s time for another writing question. I love quotes, particularly those that pertain to writing. At times when I need to feel inspired, I’ll look up quotes from well-known authors. Who better to lift your spirits than those who have made this same journey.…

Hi, Gang, Craig here again. I may make this a sporadic series, and I welcome my Story Empire compatriots to steal it and use it any time they like. We talk about all kinds of things here, always with a positive shiny face on it. That ends today. Today, we’re…

Do You Flume?

Ciao, SEers. Happy Monday! Over the course of our time together, you’ve probably come to realize I consider social media a somewhat necessary evil. I know writers are supposed to use it, but so few of us use it consistently and creatively enough. I often feel it’s a waste of…
