It’s was my habit to just puke my ideas down and then “boom” I’ve got a story. Worked like a charm for book one. Book two was a bit more difficult because I suddenly had parameters from […]

March 24, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process?

31 Days of Author Madness: Sally Mason
March 23, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I’m a panster by heart. The only thing I’m planning is a couple of major plot points and the ending.

March 22, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process?

March 19, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Well, it generally starts with an inspiration from a song, show, movie or picture.

When the revision is done, […]
31 Days of Author Madness: Amber K. Bryant
March 17, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? Put words on a page. Force them to make sense. Revise everything, from text messages to novels, a gazillion times before letting anyone else see them. Try not to be consumed with self-doubt. I have trouble plotting in too great of detail so bare bones usually does […]

March 16, 2018, Author: Kristin JacquesThe Fiver: 1. What is your writing process? I used to think of an idea and daydream about it for a few hours or several days before writing.
