#atozchallenge: Pinterest

On 04/19/201604/15/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops3 Comments

I have to admit I love Pinterest. I use it for my writing and to share some of my favorite things like movies, books, and tv shows. I also have pinned the covers of the stories that are out now. There is a board about writing on there. I've had the account for a while …

#atozchallenge: Outlining Your Novel

On 04/18/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops8 Comments

  Outlining is something I try to do but it doesn't always work out. Some of my stories I have detailed outlines for and others I just sat down and started writing them. I will admit outlines do help a lot. For my fantasy story, I have a very detailed outline because of the amount …

#atozchallenge: Naming characters and locations

On 04/16/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops6 Comments

Good morning everyone. Naming characters and your fictional locations can sometimes be a hard thing to do. For me, sometimes the character's name and the world they are going to live in just pop into my head. When that happens it's easy to start writing the story. Other times, I find myself starting at the …

#atozchallenge: Magic

On 04/15/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops4 Comments

  One thing about creating a fantasy world is the magic. What kind of magic system will it be? There are so many possibilities.  I'm creating one for my world and it's been one of the most fun things so far to do. The magic isn't a major part of the story but it will …

#atozchallenge: Languages

On 04/14/201604/13/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops2 Comments

The languages in fantasy novels have always fascinated me. My favorite languages are from the Lord of The Rings. Tolkien inspired me to create languages for the characters in my fantasy series. It can be fun and frustrating at the same time trying to create the languages. Creating things like languages is one of the …

#atozchallenge: Kaden-Scott and Konner

On 04/13/201604/07/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hopsLeave a comment

I want to introduce you to Kaden-Scott and Konner who are twins and the main characters of my shapeshifter series The Silvercreek Pack. Kaden-Scott is the older twin by just a couple of minutes. He is also the alpha of the pack. Not by choice but he is. His father and grandfather had been alphas …

#atozchallenge: Jade

On 04/12/201604/11/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops4 Comments

Jade is one of my favorite characters to write. I've written a short story about her and am editing it now. Will keep you posted about where the story winds up. Jade is a young supernatural hunter. When I say young I mean she's in her late teens/early twenties. She goes to college during the …

#atozchallenge: Indria

On 04/11/201604/11/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops6 Comments

I couldn't decide what I wanted to talk about with this one. I was going to talk about Instagram but then decided you would like to read about the world that Aleesia the mc for my fantasy novel lives in. So, I introduce you to the world called Indria. It is home to the kingdoms …

#atozchallenge: Hemingway app

On 04/09/201604/08/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops8 Comments

I've recently started using the Hemingway app to help with some of the editing I do. The jury is still out on it. There are some things I like about and some that I don't. I'm one of those people that like to edit on paper and then add changes to the digital copy. So, …

#atozchallenge: Grammarly

On 04/08/201604/08/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops7 Comments

Grammarly is another tool I use. I use it at the beginning of my editing process to make a general assessment of what might be wrong with the story. One of the things I don't do is take everything that it flags as being completely right. I make note of the word/sentence issues it points …
