Fairy Tale Retellings

  Everything has already been done. But has it been done well? And can it be done differently? I think there’s a certain appeal to fairy tale retellings or reimaginings in that beyond the classic elements crossing over from the fairy tale–there’s also the fact that you “know” the story and you’re curious how they’ll do it differently.

Writing About Challenged Characters

  As you may have seen from my Perfectly Flawed List of Books, characters with an easy run at life don’t interest me as much. I love characters who have bigger things at play than a little misunderstanding. In On His List, the main character Owen has OCD. In Past My Defenses, Vanessa had a real battle with allergies and […]

What Turns Your Pages?

  I’ve mentioned I’m an avid reader which has spilled over to writing, so you know I’m a kindred soul and you can tell me…what turns those pages for you? I’ve noticed that we’re drawn to books that we can relate to in some form–possibly they pull us in because in some way we can sympathize with the characters or […]
