Howdy!
Sorry for the radio silence recently. Short explanation is I’ve been super busy/lazy. π But I got the idea for this post at lunch the other day, so I figured I’d continue with the series that started with my Princess Bride posts. Using Firefly/90% of all the best Wash quotes. π
Haven’t seen the Princess Bride posts yet? Check out Part 1, and Part 2.
Onward!
When your characters decide they want to do something else-
When you get too excited handing out character deaths-
When procrastination hits you hard-
Sometimes going back and reading your writing is like-
Sometimes worldbuilding is hard…
When the plot bunnies spiral out of control-
We all want that giant royalty check, but…
Trying to explain your brilliant story idea to someone. But words…
Reminiscing about that plot twist that readers hate you for-
So there you have it. π Did I miss anything?
Would you like to see more of these type posts? If so, suggestions are more than welcome!
There’s now a Part 2!Β Β There’s also now a “writing as explained by” category tag specifically for these posts. You can find it on your right, or JUST CLICK HERE.

Thanks! π Sadly, I haven’t watched more than a few episodes of Veronica Mars, which doesn’t make sense since it’s a quirky detective show which is right up my alley. But, since there was a request made, I think I can probably see myself watching some more. π (might take a while, but it’ll go on the list. :))

Guys, you know how I feel about Firefly, so this post is perfect! And I would totally name a new land … “This Land,” which is why I don’t write high fantasy. Haha.
