http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Thursday, March 31, 2011. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. They Call Me Their Crazy Mom. So, what did that long winded rambling have to do with the post? Well, today, my topic is completely relevant, especially the part dealing with my poor children. Always I'm going on and on about making your writing as believable as possible. There are many ways to do this: pulling from personal experience, getting a degree, or some of my favorites, acting and speaking lines for characters. Now, I'...

A Journey Through the Mind: A to Z: (W)riting Exercises
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011/04/to-z-writing-exercises.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. A to Z: (W)riting Exercises. What percentage of your writing would you say is for your novels, short stories, poems, etc? What percentage would you say is practice? It is essential that a person can come up with a story in a matter of moments. That ability to think quickly allows us to write our characters out of corners and continually gives us improvement in our writing. What kinds of exercises do I do these days? April 27, 2011 at 7:41 PM. A to Z:...

A Journey Through the Mind: A to Z: (X) Marks The Spot
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011/04/to-z-x-marks-spot.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Thursday, April 28, 2011. A to Z: (X) Marks The Spot. Sounds like a treasure hunt, right? Actually, going with the whole clue based nature of a treasure map, I'm going to talk about mysteries today. More specifically, how to go about creating a mystery that works. The process is really pretty simple. But figuring out what you want to be solved and the clues that are involved and working backward until your characters are getting ready to start everything. I love getting them.

A Journey Through the Mind: A to Z: (Z)zzzzz's
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011/05/to-z-zzzzzzs.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Thursday, May 5, 2011. A to Z: (Z)zzzzz's. Sleep is an important part of life. If you don't rest you will wear out your body and mind. Take me for example. I am about a week late on this post because I was so sleep deprived, I destroyed my immune system and ended up with two serious inner ear infections, strep throat, and bronchitis. That was fun (Note the sarcasm). Please leave a comment! I love getting them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Quick Links to Recent Posts.

A Journey Through the Mind: The Lounge Around Book Club
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011/05/lounge-around-book-club.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Thursday, May 5, 2011. The Lounge Around Book Club. If you haven't checked it out yet, I set up a new blog of sorts. I wanted to join a book club, but finding one in Iowa isn't as easy as it seems. My best bet was to find an online book club that I had to pay to join! No thanks. So, here's what happened- I decided that if I wanted to be a part of an online book club, my best bet was to do it myself. So I did. May 5, 2011 at 5:32 PM. Please leave a comment! I love getting them.

A Journey Through the Mind: November 2010
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. The Final Day of NaNo. Good grief this month has been difficult. To think, when I started November, I was doing so well with the writing. Now its the last day and I've still got six chapters to write and all my time is gone. I feel like running away screaming. And so I've nearly decided to quit the story altogether as I wouldn't possibly finish in time. Amazingly, people have been very supportive. Especially people from work, oddly enough. M...I hav...

A Journey Through the Mind: On an off note (2)
http://ajourneythroughthemind.blogspot.com/2011/05/on-off-note-2.html
A Journey Through the Mind. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. On an off note (2). Anyway, to get back on topic. It gets to be a little annoying (I can't think of a nicer way to say that). Hearing it over and over again, you get tired of it. Not to mention, being out in that heat, 1: you already know exactly how hot it is, and 2: Do they really think you haven't already heard it a few dozen times? And what does my big mouth do? July 17, 2011 at 6:57 PM. June 18, 2012 at 4:09 AM. You obviously know how to keep a re...
