    Hi Talynn, I've got to catch up on posts! I was out with appointments today. I love school supplies. I'll have to dig through my supply drawer and pick out some pretties. :)

      To me, it's the first inspirational thing I do when writing a new story. Nothing gets me more ready to write than to see a cool notebook or set of awesome index cards. I always think, "Oh this-one-character" would love this notebook:)

    Love your supplies Talynn! I just have my computer and notebooks. Nothing fancy. I downloaded a couple.

      Colored metal. I love them. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and your words of encouragement. I already have people wanting to buy the book! I pray I sign with an agent in Feb, through your workshop.

    I didn't sign up for the workshop, but I found these awesome and tiny little notebooks at B&N to jot down notes. Otherwise, I usually use my laptop.

    Practically everything I have is digital, be it on my computer or backed up on the external hard drive -and- at least one USB stick. (Yes, I'm paranoid. Your point? ^_^)
    The rest, in my head. I mull and juggle and mutter at myself for weeks until I reach that particular scene. Once written, it starts all over again with another scene.

      When my macbook crashed a couple months ago(thank you coffee) if I didn't have the same back up, my writing life would have been over. I lost every thing:(

      Yeah. Backing up is something that cannot be stressed enough.
      I've been doing it since I once lost a ... let's face it, a -super- terrible story when a floppy disk got wet. Looking back, I don't consider it as much of a loss, but at the time I screamed and moped for days.
      Then there was the time, just a few years back now, I thought my external had died and I had a major hissy fit. Turned out it was just the cord, of which we had a replacement. (Whew!)

      I've had mine for five years now, no problems apart from an easily replaced cord. ^_^

    Wow. That's a pretty supply collection. I usually just have plain pads of paper and my laptop... but you've just inspired me! I'm going to have a little fun this time :)

    Other than the computer, my only writing supplies are a 6x9 legal pad on a clipboard, where I keep all my notes, stapled together in bundles for each novel. I think I'm going to have to branch out eventually, though! That clipboard is starting to strain under the pressure.

    I was thinking of making character and location notebooks, where I have easy reference to character descriptions, traits, major plot points, and such. I should also make similar books for recurring locales and other physical things in the series. After a few books with the same characters, those details get easily muddled if I don't have a quick reference.

Operation Agent Ink

UPDATE: PLEASE FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE AFTER YOU SIGN UP. Have you ever wondered what agents were dying to find in their inbox/slush pile? There have been many times I entered a contest and not even received a comment, not even from one of the agents. Or maybe the agent was kind enough to leave a comment that simply said, "Sorry, this just isn't what I'm looking for, but I love the premise and your voice." I always walk away feeling unsatisfied. If I had known exactly what the agent wanted beyond, "YA" or "Fantasy" I might not have even entered a contest I knew I wouldn't win! Even more, I wasted a very busy agents time! Well, your time of guessing is up! OPERATION AGENT INK to the rescue! That's right! This workshop will help aspiring authors get on the list of an agent's WISH LIST! When the workshop is over, your manuscript will be ready to view by a group of AMAZING agents who are dying to see what you've wri...

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck. My two best friends will be wearing theirs, too, and I wonder how they will escape this carnival of dreams. “What’s it for?” Cress asks as we stand in line for the swings. I run my fingertips over the entire silver surface. “I don’t know. It belonged to my grandmother,” I say. “Whatever.” She shrugs her shoulder in a dismissive way. “Have ...

Workshop 10

Today, let's get readers hooked from the very first sentence. If you do, you are off to a great start and hopefully a great first chapter. We are going to focus on the first and second sentence and how you can draw readers in while introducing two major items about your book: 1. Your MC 2. The main conflict. How? Is it really possible to do this in only TWO sentences? YES! Example: My name is Snow, like the white powder that falls during winter, though I don't know what my mom was thinking because it was ninety degrees the day I was born. I turned twelve the year I married a man I hated and thirteen when my first baby was born. This sentence tells us a lot. It shows us a little about Snow's personality, it hints toward a shortened childhood and could possibly point to a different time era. I also can definitely see the conflict. Can you? You only have a few minutes to make a good, first impression. Make sure you wow your reader enough they'll actually t...
