A to Z Challenge 2016 Reflection

On 05/11/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops6 Comments

  This year's challenge was interesting. I wasn't even sure I was going to participate and thought about dropping out a few times. Then I decided at the last minute to scrap my theme and go with one about writing and I was excited again about participating. Even though some posts were harder to write …

#atozchallenge: Zoo

On 04/30/201604/28/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops6 Comments

Sometimes I think of my writing as that of running a zoo. It's controlled chaos and everyone wants attention. You have the characters to the left that want be mean and not play well with others (the villians), in the middle there's the ones that want to be left alone and not take sides, and …

#atozchallenge: Yearly Goals

On 04/29/201604/28/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops2 Comments

We all have them whether it's a monthly, weekly, or yearly goal. I set goals for the month, the week, and the year. As a writer it helps keep me focused if I have a goal I want to reach. I make them realistic enough to reach. For example, a monthly goal for me might …

#atozchallenge: Xtra, Xtreme

On 04/28/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hopsLeave a comment

Well, this is one of the harder if not the hardest letter to try and find a topic for. I never did find a topic I was happy with for this one. Now that I'm sitting here writing this post a couple of things come to mind and that's words that you can take a …

#atozchallenge: Worldbuilding

On 04/27/201604/25/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hopsLeave a comment

  Worldbuilding is one of my favorite things to do for my stories especially the epic fantasy series. I use tools like Campaign Cartographer to create my world maps. This program has a few great add-ons and other tools to help create your maps and even characters. This is the main tool I use when …

#atozchallenge: Virtual Fantasy Con

    I'm looking forward to participating in this event in October. Will be giving away a copy of each of my short stories. You can check out Virtual Fantasy Con for more information about it. I'm also being featured in Dec. 2016 edition of a magazine that one of the participants owns. It's called Authors …

#atozchallenge: Untitled

On 04/25/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops2 Comments

  I couldn't come up with anything for this one. U is hard to find topics for. I guess it could about the many, many untitled story ideas I have in a folder on my desktop that I really need to go through and see if I'm ever going to use them. I love having …

#atozchallenge: Top Ten Writing Sites

On 04/23/201605/02/2017 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops15 Comments

  Today's topic was going to be about timelines but I changed my mind at the last minute and decided to list my top ten favorite sites instead. Here they are 🙂 Wattpad- I've had an account on here for a while and never really used it. I did post the opening of a story …

#atozchallenge: Scrivener

On 04/22/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops12 Comments

This has to be my favorite piece of software to use. I bought it a couple of years ago after winning NaNoWriMo and am glad I did. I use the pc version so I don't like that it doesn't have all the perks that the mac version but I've heard they are trying to get …

#atozchallenge: Revisions

On 04/21/2016 By Diane RigginsIn blog hops4 Comments

  Revisions are the one thing that drive me crazy but it has to be done. 🙂 I'm in the middle of revising the Vampires of New Orleans series and it's been kind of fun but frustrating because I've now changed who the main character is. The new main character fits the plot more than …
