http://tantusamorscribendi.blogspot.com/2013/04/zero-draft-or-5-steps-to-writing.html
Writing is my passion. Books I've read in 2012. 2013 New Year's Resolutions. Zero Draft, or 5 Steps to Writing the Crappiest First Draft You Can. Z is for Zero Drafts. This is a new term for me. I'd always called my first drafts "first drafts," but now that I've been introduced to "zero drafts," I like that much, much better. Hibernating Arctic Ground Squirrel. Photo from Kelly Drew. But what goes into writing a zero draft? It might come as a surprise, but there can be a lot of research done for a fictio...

http://tantusamorscribendi.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-worksheet-for-creating-and-developing.html
Writing is my passion. Books I've read in 2012. 2013 New Year's Resolutions. A Worksheet for Creating and Developing Your Characters. In case you didn't know, National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as NaNoWriMo, isn't Camp NaNoWriMo. Goes on during the months of April and July. As I've been preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo, I am reminded of how much about my protagonist and antagonist I need to know before I write my first word today. If female- Maiden name? What does my character wear to work? Intera...

Tantus Amor Scribendi: Romanus Eunt Domus? No...Romani Ite Domum. Or, the Importance of Grammar in Novels
http://tantusamorscribendi.blogspot.com/2012/06/romanus-eunt-domus-noromani-ite-domum.html
Writing is my passion. Books I've read in 2012. 2013 New Year's Resolutions. NoRomani Ite Domum. Or, the Importance of Grammar in Novels. This video was posted today by a bookstore I follow on Facebook in Snohomish, Washington, Uppercase Bookshop. As I enjoy studying Latin (not that I'm remarkably talented in it, but have more a stubborn determination to learn the language), I got a laugh out of it. But another post on Facebook made me writhe. Can anyone tell me why? That was a lot of yours.). I think it...

Our second post will cover the "I" in DISC, which is called Inducem...

Tantus Amor Scribendi: A problem...
http://tantusamorscribendi.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-problem.html
Writing is my passion. Books I've read in 2012. 2013 New Year's Resolutions. There's just something about me that makes me reluctant to give up a book. I can always find some excuse to keep it. Oh, I loved it? Better not get rid of it; I like to reread favorites. Oh, it was only so-so? Well, its resale value is low, I'd better keep it. Oh, I liked it, a friend gave it to me? It's a slow process to let go of books, but…it can be done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A to Z April 2013 Blogging Survivor.

Tantus Amor Scribendi: Demanding the Muse's Presence
http://tantusamorscribendi.blogspot.com/2013/09/demanding-muses-presence.html
Writing is my passion. Books I've read in 2012. 2013 New Year's Resolutions. Demanding the Muse's Presence. This past weekend I went "camping" with the hubby. I put "camping" in quotes because this was lightweight camping unfamiliar to this Alaskan. This was camping in a campsite with neighbors camping twenty feet away in their RVs and with running water and toilets. This was not real camping. Footnote: And after a quick Google search, that appears to be Peter De Vries. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Soon I finished reading the prompt, the one thing that came striking to my head was the long ride that I had gone in the last month to attend a friend's wedding. At Gulbarga (North of Karnataka), 210 kms off Hyderabad. Will you do it again? Certainly, would love to ride down the NH7 (now NH44) once. Links to this post. It should be 'The D...
