WRITE IT NOW VERSION 4

I just began using Write It Now version 4 to write my novel for National Novel Writing Month.

I am creating the cast of characters first. Write It Now has an excellent tool for creating characters of great depth. This feature makes it fun to craft your characters, trait-by-trait, and fault-by-fault.

Write It Now version 4 includes prompts that help guide you as you fill in the personality of each character in your novel. Then when you are writing, the character profile is just a mouse-click away for reference. This is a very handy feature that eliminates the need for a stack of index cards or "sticky" notes attached to some object near your computer.

I want to create all of the characters first, then I will begin to outline the novel in preparation for the official launch of National Novel Writing Month 2014.

This is my first use of this novel-writing software, so I'm not fully comfortable with it yet. I will let you know about my experience utilizing this Write It Now upon completion.

The Jackson, Michigan 2022 Southside Festival Series Authors & Writers Expo

The 2022 Southside Festival Series Authors & Writers Expo is in the books. The Expo proved to be a great showcase for a lot of the creative writing talent in and around Jackson, Michigan. Although there wasn't a large crowd, a steady amount of people came to peruse the offerings, chat with local authors and drink in the ambience. The event had several great sponsors and helped introduce some impressive writers to the community. I had a great time at this event. Though I am reticent and uncomfortable talking about myself and fit the cliché of the “introverted writer” very well, this was a memorable and fun experience. I met some exceptional people, both writers and book readers, and came away with a better understanding of how a Book Expo operates. It was wonderful to meet new people and to greet friends, old and new, who dropped in to meet this fine  sampling of the local writing community. Two particular treats were in store for me. One of my oldest, dearest friends in Jac
