The Reluctant Blogger: July 2012
http://breabrown.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Readers Want to FEEL. A book is not a screenplay. Well! I'll take "Obvious Crap" for $1000, Alex. Yes, you THINK that's obvious, but you'd be surprised how many writers of BOOKS don't understand that concept. You know why? Because they're already envisioning their books as movies. Hands up who hasn't done that. (My hand is down, just so you know.). Head most of the time. But anyway. Do I envision my books playing out like a movie in my head when I write them? Books don't have the ...

Writer’s Withdrawal Is a Thing (An Ugly Thing) | Jayne Denker
https://jaynedenker.com/2015/05/27/writers-withdrawal-is-a-thing-an-ugly-thing
Author, instigator, gadabout. Writer’s Withdrawal Is a Thing (An Ugly Thing). May 27, 2015. I’m in a void, and it ain’t pretty. No, not the. Kind of black hole, but one that induces the same kind of trepidation almost, dare I say, panic? There is nothingness. There is blackness. There is the fear of the unknown or, rather, the fear that the hollow nothingness is endless, permanent. In other words, I’m a writer without a WIP (work in progress). Double gasp, clutch heart) doing some housecleaning! My other...

The Reluctant Blogger: BreNaTaMo
http://breabrown.blogspot.com/2012/10/brenatamo.html
Sunday, October 14, 2012. No, I haven't developed a new language. I've been inspired by National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) to come up with my own theme for November: Brea Nap Taking Month (BreNaTaMo). I'm not expecting it to catch on like NaNoWriMo has, but that's okay. The concept is simple: I vow to take a nap every single day in the month of November. In November, those priorities will be sleep first, everything else after that. BreNaTaMo is important! No way. That'd be like asking me to sto...

The Reluctant Blogger: The Jury's Out
http://breabrown.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-jurys-out.html
Sunday, September 9, 2012. I was particularly excited to run into some "characters." I live in the Ozarks, after all. We're overrun with characters. And the people I met at court would be great in an upcoming book of mine. Not any book in particular, mind you, but some book someday in the future. Did I forget to call? Did I miss my date? A normal person would set an alarm on her cell phone and be done with it, but. who has two thumbs and isn't normal? All day yesterday, I repeated my "Don't forget to cal...

The Reluctant Blogger: Taking Risks
http://breabrown.blogspot.com/2012/09/taking-risks.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2012. I'm not a risk-taker. The most spontaneous thing I do on any given day is to decide what to eat for lunch. at lunchtime, with no prior planning. The second most spontaneous thing I do each day is decide whether to drink my coffee black or with a little half-and-half. I'm not kidding. That's. How much I like flying by the seat of my pants. So I should have known that taking a risk with my writing had the potential to meet with undesirable results. I'm grateful to Plain Jayne.
