Thanmir War and This World Bites are both on the list. Check out the full selection here. I know I’m looking forward to picking…

Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up for the IWSG here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. I won NaNoWriMo last Friday. Though I was pleased with that fact, something…

Snow Day

Posted on November 19, 2014 by Loni Townsend

Thank you all for the condolences for my cousin. Chris’s funeral was last Saturday, but I unfortunately couldn’t attend. Snow dumped its baggage on my doorstep just a couple of days before my anticipated 280 mile drive. Rather than risk the roads, I sent my love from afar via phone call. Beyond my phone call…

Husbandly Help

Posted on November 15, 2013 by Loni Townsend

“Do you think a severe electrical burn would be gooey beneath the crispy flesh?” That was how I started our conversation. Of course my husband gives me a perplexed look. And then he starts to chuckle. I was writing a scene where the character gets hit with an electrical bolt which mangles up the left…

Are you doing NaNoWriMo? Check this out! The Wrimo Accelerator Looks like Lulu wants to be a part of the NaNoWriMo experience. CreateSpace can’t have all the fun! I’ve been plugging away at Sovereign, book 3 of the Ninier series. My word count is at 9K so far. If you want to add me as…

Camp is Underway

Posted on April 2, 2013April 23, 2014 by Loni Townsend

April is here, and I’ve put aside my editing and started writing again. It feels good. Much of my preexisting writing—little scenes which I’ve scribbled down over the years—won’t work anymore due to plot changes and must be rewritten from scratch. A couple can be salvaged, such as Nicholas’s acceptance of when he first became…

The Beat Sheet

Posted on March 11, 2013December 8, 2016 by Loni Townsend

In my post about my second draft journey, I mentioned Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder. Well, I’ve decided to participate in Camp NaNoWriMo during April and have chosen to do something I’ve never done. Plan. Blake Snyder has a beat sheet that pretty much every big movie hit follows. He says a good screenplay…

End and Begin

Posted on December 2, 2012December 2, 2012 by Loni Townsend

Though NaNoWriMo is a challenge to obtain a certain word count in a limited time frame, to me it was much more than that. *Cue sappy music* I won not because my fingers hit so many keys to create a set number of separated letter groups. No, I won because I forged friendships I would’ve…

Victory

Posted on November 17, 2012 by Loni Townsend

I reached 50K. I danced. I celebrated. I patted myself on the back at my great accomplishment. After that, I started thinking about what I had written thus far and realized I didn’t like a character I had chosen to throw in because I didn’t know how to get rid of her and she kept…
