These are my secret writing weapons - and I’m sharing them with you! . A few years ago, my sister (an English teacher) asked me to write a few paragraphs for a lesson on how to paint ‘word pictures’. . Honestly, I still think those paragraphs are some of the best writing I’ve ever done - and you KNOW how awesome it feels to create something you can read back over and feel truly proud of! . So... want to know the trick I discovered?! . Ok, the lesson was on ‘figurative language’ so the challenge was to fit as many figurative language techniques as I could into each little ‘mini story’. . I’m talking Alliteration, Allusion, Analogies, Anaphora, Assonance, Euphemisms, Hyperbole, Idioms, Metaphors, Oxymorons, Personification, Similes... . And I know that might sound a little daunting, but having a list to work from actually made it really easy and super fun. Especially once I started to notice how they all worked together to create the kind of rhythm and lyricism and vibrancy that I’d always admired in other authors’ writing! . If it worked for me, it can work for you. . So I created these flash cards for YOU, to keep on your desk and help you to be more daring, more experimental and more imaginative in your descriptions - I even included examples! . WARNING: these techniques are potent! A little goes a long way . IDEA: Don’t overload your novel: try picking two or three cards for each of your scenes and challenge yourself to find ways to include them! . WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR WRITING? Get my full set of figurative language cards (pictured in this post) when you sign up to get writing gifts from me - Link in Bio. . HAPPY WRITING! . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I got my Nenya/mandala shoulder tattoo touched up by a new artist this weekend, the talented and fabulous @superrgeek. (The same inky wizard who did my quill tattoo.) . How she made this tattoo go to epic-level status amazes me. . The second photo was after the first touch up (by another artist). What a transformation! . If y’all live in the PA area (or are willing to make the trek like I was), definitely check out Jazmin’s portfolio! . . . #amwriting #amediting #amquerying #write #writer #writing #writerlife #writersofinstagram #writersofig #fantasywritersofinstagram #fantasywritersofig #writingtip #writingtips #editor #developmentaleditor #bookwritingtips #bookwriting #authortube #authortuber #iwriterly #booknerdcommunity #booktube #booktuber #writingcommunity #bookstagram #tattoo #lotrtattoo #mandalatattoo

Working on another draft of my short story. It's starting to become something I'm proud of. Still needs some work though. Writing is definitely my jam. . . . . . #supportwriters #supportwritersandauthors #writerssupportwriters #writer #writers #supportauthors #author #authors #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #book #books #authorsofig #authorsofinsta #writersofig #fantasywritersofig #fantasywritersofinstagram #fantasywriters #2019booklovers #authorfollowloop #writingcommunityofig #writingbooks #writingprocess #creativewriting #writerscommunity #amwriting

“No one should live in a closet.”⚡️ . As of today, neither will I. . My name is Meg. I’m a writer, a mother, a wife to a loving husband, and I’m also attracted to women. . I’m bisexual.️‍ . Now, I’m not here to ruffle any feathers, nor am I here to condemn anyone for their beliefs. . But I’ve been quiet about this part of myself for so long—not even daring to acknowledge it to myself for years—that I simply cannot remain silent any longer. . The #LGBTQ space has grown in leaps and bounds these past years (along with the number of letters in the acronym). Seeing so many people boldly declaring who they are has given me the courage to share this glimpse into my story. . I’m happily married to a man, but that doesn’t make me any less bisexual. It doesn’t mean I “chose” to be straight, and it doesn’t mean that I’m in a polyamorous relationship. I’m in a faithful, committed, happy relationship with only my husband. Being bisexual is simply a part of me—and a part I’m ready to share more openly. . I’m done letting this closet suffocate me. I’m proud of who I am and how far I’ve come. And I’m thankful I get to write stories featuring bisexuals—stories I never got to read as a questioning young person. I hope that one day someone who's scared to acknowledge this part of themselves can read my writing and know they are not alone. . . . . #amwriting #amediting #amquerying #write #writer #writing #writerlife #writersofinstagram #writersofig #fantasywritersofinstagram #fantasywritersofig #writingtip #writingtips #bookwriting #authortube #authortuber #iwriterly #booknerdcommunity #booktube #writingcommunity #bookstagram #bisexual #bisexualpride #bisexuality #comingout

I turn to Dynamic Characters a lot throughout the process of character development. I bought this book last spring because reviews on Fairic Stone proved my characters had no lasting substance. Sometimes you have to look deep within; past your ego, and reach for more writing craft books.
