Thi last weekend I went to the movie theater, something I really only do when out of the country, and I chose to see Wonder Woman.
I fell in love very swiftly, and other than a few scenes that I would have skipped at home or if shown to a younger audience....I instantly fell in love with this woman.
She was strong.
She was feminine
She was relatable
She was innocent.
She loved....
She experienced loss and overcame it.
The origin story was fascinating, and all kinds of similarities to other things can easily be drawn...even the villain was a master deceiver.
The action was beautiful without being too gory or detailed...the villains were perfectly bad and evil...but they didn't give me the willies.
An aspect I really loved about this story was while the romance was an aspect and Chris Pine NAILED his role as the romantic interest..it was merely a catalyst to the story line and not the main point...which was Wonder Woman. It was a sweet, simple love that held so much promise for their future. They were perfectly matched.
Wonder Woman was everything a woman should be.
Tender, compassionate, gentle, caring, strong, war-like, feminine, genuine, truth seeking, leader and yet companion. She was the embodiment of what a woman can and should be...I mean other than the supernatural powers....which none of us have. However, I would say it's easy to hold her up as a role model, I'd like to watch it a few more times just to get more out of it. I'll be honest I am a bit in wonderment of it to find too many of its flaws.
But...I think the thing I took away from it...was it's worth it to love....even in the pain.
It's worth it to love...

Today I am going to talk about kings and kingdoms. Most of my stories are set in and around kingdom's and sometimes the very throne room itself.
Maybe there isn't a king in your story, however, it is important to remember what kind of role your government plays in any story. Though it might directly play into the story, there is always the underlying heartbeat that government plays in your characters lives. Keep in mind what kind of government is in your country. Republic, Democracy, Communist, Dictatorship....and many other there are to choose from.
Kings, there are some typical stereotypes.
Charitable.
Cheater.
Tyrant.
King's as characters are easy to simply just sketch out a basic king and puppet him around, but if they are closely related to any character in the story it's important to add at least a second dimension of purpose and motivation for what is important to the country.
If your character is a loyal hero, they should carry what the king's purpose is for his nation close to his heart.
Meanwhile, a rebel should want to tear it limb from limb.
Tips for adding depth: Find flaws in what they believe, and truth in what the other side believes and cause them to question who they are and what they are doing.
Everyone has a just system. You do, I do, your character should too. Understanding how justice systems work in yourself and other people is important in creating strong and moving characters as well as creating action in their hearts.
Your internal justice system is more your personal weights and balances of right and wrong in the world. We all have different scales, and there are points we allow people to cross because they know it's okay in their system...even if it's not right in our own. However, sometimes people will cross your justice system and you will be prompted to action.
People act when their system of justice is violated. You see it all over the world, riots, parades...but also in a much smaller way, it can be why someone loses their temper, makes choices, and pushes people to do things out of their comfort zones.
The other week, I lost my temper...I was surprised that I lost my temper...and then I cried over losing my temper because it felt stupid and immature...and I wondered why. When I knew I shouldn't have...and I should have been able to just talk with the person. It was because they crossed the line of my personal justice system.
They disrespected a mutual authority and made it their excuse for their bad behavior...and I was in shock and the amount of anger that thudded through my body shocked me. Then they called me disrespectful and I kinda lost it...
Needless to say it was a lesson for me a person, as well as with writing...the way I acted didn't feel normal to me...but my system of justice had been violated and I wanted the world to go back to the right place and so it moved me to action...it wasn't the right action but I moved.
What about you? What is a justice system trigger in your characters lives or even your own that prompt them to action?
Evil info dumps are sometimes necessary in writing.
So how do we write them without making our beloved readers feel like they've been dumped on?
If possible weave it into a conversation, this makes it more interesting, this always works especially well if you happen to have a nosey neighborly character who wants to share all of the news.
Another way to make them not feel so dumped on, is to make sure there is specific background in the story for there to be something at stake for the upcoming information, give the reader those little butterflies fluttering in their stomachs as they read the information realizing this could mean good or bad things for the character who they care for. It's not just an info dump...it's a climatic stepping stone edging your story forward towards the pinnacle of what you've been building up. Try to create info dumps that make readers hold their breath instead of sorting through information trying to figure out how or why it is relevant to them and the story.
The most important piece of advice I could ever give an author is...heart. Write with your heart, because if you are writing only with your mind, your emotions, your reasoning, your intelect....but if you write with your heart. You will touch a heart.
Heart to heart writing is one of the most powerful and moving things that can be created in the world,
So write with your heart...write with the deepest depths of your being and you will do your best work with no regrets.
Graphics are an excellent way to catch people's eyes and getting your book off the shelf or the amazon store and into people's hands.
While it might be meaningful or cute do your own cover...it can bring less than wanted results. I love to design. However when it came to designing my own covers I really struggled with what I wanted and finding it, so I decided to take that control out of my hands and hand it to someone else. That was one of the best choices I made as an author.
I love graphic design and create beautiful covers for other people but for myself all I did was drive myself up walls and into corners. Only recently have I started doing covers for my own work for short stories, because I've been better able to grasp my feelings and control the outcome.
But as an author do yourself a favor and get the best graphics you can afford. It gives you a professional clean and wonderful look that helps you sell your book with confidence.
This is one of the voices that really grabbed me. I heard Anthony's Neely's voice one day and the quality of it gripped me, and since I am living here in Taiwan, I'll take the opportunity to introduce you to a talented American Taiwanese singer.
His voice...I love more ballad sounding songs, and he has a beautiful range, mostly simple music, and some good outright heartbreaking lyrics that make you pause and think. (I also might be a hardcore sad song sap but you know...)
Today, I am going to throw a few songs out there, one of my favorites and one sung in Chinese, where the MV is totally worth watching...it made me wish it was a Taiwanese drama...but it's not it's just a lovely song.
This first song is the one he grabbed Taiwan's attention by winning a national talent contest.
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mine eye.
I'll be honest this verse has always puzzled me a little.
And the other day I was reading again and I was like. "God, what does this even mean? How can you guide me with Your eyes? Because, God, I can't see where you are looking."
And then it struck me.
I do this all the time with my students.
I guide them with my eyes.
If they are misbehaving, I don't yell at them, I get really quiet and just look at them gently until I know I have their attention and then shake my head, if needed I will say something but often this communication is completely silent.
My students also communicate this way, a questioning look, and I answer with a nod...but they know the answer because they are looking at me.
So it's the same with God. If my focus on him, I'll have the answers I am searching for, I don't need to be looking towards the future and trying to figure out, I don't have to figure out what God is doing I just have to move forward keeping my eyes on Christ. No looking around, no turning this way and that trying to figure out what everyone else is doing. Just focusing on Christ and following his lead...and life will be siimpler...maybe, not easier but simpler because all I need to worry about is focusing on Christ and what He sees for my future.
Faith. It's one the hardest things to include in a book well. It's easy to squeeze in namby-pamby prayer and toss in a few scriptures and label it CHRISTIAN FICTION! I know, a lot of authors have worked very hard to create good books...but when they try to add faith to their books it feels so robotic and dead and makes me as a reader want to gag, throw things, and just put the book down.
So how do create a book where fiction and faith meet and mesh.
I think the difference is easy to find. It is this: is the story testimony...or your pulpit?
Testimony stories tend to be rich with refreshing and renewing.
Pulpit stories tend to make one feel frustrated and preached at, they are dry with material but no deep content just words that ring with hollowness.
So how do we make our books rich volumes and not hollow tombs?
First, are you living it yourself? Is this something you've learned? Is this something you've struggled through? Then you certainly have a premise and personal experience where the faith you want to bring across the realness of the subject.
I remember discovering one of my favorite authors. My mom asked me if I wanted to read a certain author's books....I refused. I was sure they were going to be another wishy-washy preachy teen book that I was going to barely gag down, needless to say, my mother followed her intuition, and they were excellent books. The author really challenged me in my faith, and that book helped me to grow. They still have a powerful impact on me today...years later. The difference? She had lived, she is an amazingly sweet, faithful Christian, who didn't use her book as her pulpit but rather as a testimony.
What are you writing? Are you writing things that are challenging you and your readers, or are you using your book as a pulpit?

There is nothing like Josh Groban's voice. I think his was one of the very first voices I fell in love with. It's so beautiful and he can carry so much...
This is one of the more simple songs that JG sings, but I like the message in the lyrics mixed with the slow and cheerful melody. I love the theme of hope that keeps peeking through the lyrics...
It's just so delightful to listen to...it's so optimistic.
Hello! I am going to try and add this mini wording "workshop" on my blog.
I am using the term workshop loosely here. It's not too intense, just a little something I want to improve on in my writing and challenge my fellow writers.
You see, I sometimes struggle with writing description, so often the settings are so vivid in my head that I forget to add any embellishment for the reader.
Sorry for the blurry photo, I am trying to use things I come across in my everyday.
So, this is something I've written a description for, but I am curious how you would describe this dish....
Foreign? Traditional? Familiar?
What does it smell like?
Strong? Soft? Is there something distinct or signature about it?
How does it taste?
Savory? Salty? Bitter? Sweet? Spicy? Mild? Rich?Simple? Complex? Home-like?
What ingredients can you identify?
Are you intrigued...repulsed?
What is the environment like?
If you were to put this on a plate in front of your character how would they react?
As a foreigner, my reaction to this dish is always...
Why are we talking about endings so early on in the alphabet? Well all good things must come to and end, and knowing how your story is going to end early on is a good thing. You want to be able to track through the story all of your threads and prevent plot holes.
Endings...and quite endless.
There is the traditional happily ever after, the ones that leave you wondering what on earth happened, the ones that make you close the book with a mixture of happiness and pain...perfection completed...always so hard to create.
I feel the most important thing about endings is completion...if you aren't planning on continuing the story in a sequel there should be a feeling of resolution and completion. There have been stories I read where I finished feeling empty and wanting more...only to find out that is how the author left it, there was nothing more...that was it! Those were always horrible stories that made their way onto my black list.
This is one of my favorite songs from an Indie singer who has been pretty made popular on youtube and writes music inspired by the books she reads...which I think is super cool.
Based on the book Cinder (which is on my to read list still...) I love the Cinderella themes in this song, and yet...there are other things here, more than just simple straight forward song, it has so much more depth and could have so many more themes than just Cinderella.
The cry to be seen, the realization that they face so much more...it's beautiful...
Could this song fit in your story? What themes do you hear in this song?
One of my favorite and least favorite things about writing is the amount of drafts that accumulate, Sometimes I wish I could just write it once and be DONE. However...there is a beauty not to be surpassed in drafts. The first draft will always remain the most pure and most lovely part of the story. The first draft (if it doesn't bug me to death) is always my favorite version, untainted by anything it is perfect...until we let other people read it.
Spacing drafts can be very important, letting a manuscript sit for a few weeks before turning around and overhauling it for publication is important. Like other famous things like cheese...and wine (I wouldn't actually know about that one from personal experience but you know..) things get better with age. Leaving your lovely characters to sit for a few weeks in a dark drawer or a closed document allows you to look more optimistically and clearly about your story, also this preserves you from complete burn out.
Love, battle, fighting, last moments, precious fleeting seconds before...
This song presents so many questions and feelings, a tumbling and tumultuous echo of the present and past culminating into one moment mixed with passion and a refusal to go lightly into the future.
If this song was in your story how would it fit? Is there any character or circumstance in your story that fits the feeling of this music?
*disclaimer this song feature rock music, for those who do not appreciate this style of music I encourage you to skip this song.
Being a strong woman is hard.
Being a strong woman in a feminist world is even more challenging.
So how do we become strong, dependable, even independent without becoming.....a feminist?
In the words of Matthew Hussey:
Having to do everything yourself is a form of weakness. Because all it is is trying to validating yourself by showing how strong you are....
(and then I am paraphrasing this a little to put it in my own words)
The weakest woman can't do anything for herself,
A weak woman will do everything for herself,
And the strongest woman says, I know I can do it myself, but it's a lot more fun if someone else does it. (and I am not talking about the princess type or girls that blackmail, or bribe people into doing things for them.)
You see we've grown up in a society and culture that doesn't just cheat men of their manhood, it is also cheating us out of our femininity.
A few weeks ago a friend asked me..."How are you a strong woman...but not a feminist."
And this question took me back...because for years I've been a very strong woman, and I've struggled with finding a balance between my strength and being feminine.
No, I wasn't fast, no I didn't beat up all of the boys....or anything like that. But...I'll be honest, I am as strong as a lot of boys, moving things, picking up heavy lifting, (my brother stopped picking on me when it became a fair draw...it's no fun to pick on someone when they can equal you,) people call on me. I've grown into the role of looking after people, making sure people are protected, opening doors for people...etc...but has that robbed me of my feminism? For a long time, I didn't care if I put boys off...you think you can do it? Well, I can do it too! Just watch me! One of my goals in life was to prove that you can do anything and everything in a skirt... Hike up waterfalls? Yes, Ride a horse? Yes, Climb a fence? Yes...all in a dress or a skirt and being modest about it. You bet I can.
But as I grew up, I realized...that just because you can, doesn't mean you want to...
That being strong, can also mean lonely, or eventually, make you feel taken advantage of it...that people don't expect you to be weak, and that you can just take things...over and over and over again and take it because you are strong.
So a new journey almost unconsciously began, and now...it has become more purposeful. Life is a form of art...and I am learning the art of feminism.
Now I am not talking about damsel in distress syndrome, but the simple art of living as a woman.
Don't be afraid of weakness.
Asking for help doesn't make you weak.
We aren't perfect and asking for help isn't a crime.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses is a good thing, and makes for a stronger and wiser person.
(After all you have nothing to fear, but fear itself...)
Just because YOU can do it yourself....doesn't mean you have to.
This is something that can be really hard. Just because I can open a door for myself doesn't mean I can't let/get a guy to do it for me...and appreciate it. (That goes a long way to keeping chivalry alive. Maybe you're saying, "Ugh! If a guy's ego can't take me opening my own door then he should get a life." Maybe, but then again he took the time and effort to get the door for you, take the time and effort to appreciate it...even if you didn't need it.)
Be a peacemaker
It's easy to pick fights, tease, and be argumentative over things...and it can be fun. However, if it is a constant lifestyle, it can maybe be too much and cause discord. Look for chances to bring peace and make win-win situations.
I don't own anything, not my pic!
Thanks, Disney! <3
I had a fun one a few weeks ago. People were arguing over if an actress was beautiful or not, and of course, there were fans and well anti-fans. When I was asked for my opinion, I gave in a few seconds to muse and answered.
"We are all made in the image of God, I think she is perfect." This...though perhaps not the answer they were looking for or technically even an opinion brought the argument to a close and peace.
Sometimes there are two parties having an argument, and you can see both sides, use this as an opportunity to help them come to a conclusion that is peaceful and practical for both.
It can be really hard if you are in situation where you can see the other person's point of view, but they can't see yours, and I am still working on making myself be understood well....it can be really hard to make people understand, but I am also learning when to "retreat", if they simply choose to not understand, sometimes you must just let them have their way, or find a delicate way to remove yourself from the situation.
And while the battle of the sexes can be funny and entertaining...realize that it can also cause harm. So if you're having banter and exchanges of sharp wit enjoy it! Also be aware of the damage it can cause. Just because men are strong it doesn't mean they are Superman, they have their own kryptonite to deal with.
Once again in the words of Matthew Hussey:
Men need women,
Women need men
Life just isn't as fun without them.
I decided to snatch up this tag from Melody's blog The Splendor Falls! Don't forget to check out her awesome blog! 1. What Genres, Styles, and Topics Do You Write About?
Genres:
Well for starters, it's hard to sort of peg down. I write what you might call fantasy, in other words, I make up my own worlds, etc.break rules, but it read more like history...and not the least bit like fantasy but it's not based on any actual facts, so...Historical fantasy? Is that even a legal genre?
With Sufficient Grace I dabbled slightly in Western, but it doesn't really FEEL like a western. I don't have any of the traditional lingo you'd expect when you pick it up like
Hitch the wagon,
Going out yonder.
Ruslin' cattle.
And all kinds of others of beloved American old west lingo that is the signature of that genre. I think I just like to break the rules.
I've toyed a little with fantasy, and am working on a possible trilogy...but we will see what comes of that.
Style:
Third person most certainly.
First person is my death SENTENCE unless it's a short story.
Topics:
Coming of age.
Finding truth
Strong but feminine
WEAPONS (pretty, pretty swords!)
How long have you been writing?
On and off starting around age 12, more serious around age 18.
So about 16 years I guess? Wow...that makes me sound...old...experienced.
Why do you write?
For a lot of reasons.
Ultimately because I love it, and because I feel that is what God called me to be. His Ready Writer.
When is the best time to write?
Well.....my favorite time to write is when inspiration is thick and sweet running like crazy but I don't always get to spend time when it is.
I also love super late nights writing (I have been guilty of writing until 5 am if the words are right.)
But really, any time of the day will do. Parts of writing you love vs. parts you hate.
Love:
The first draft.
Getting inspiration.
Fangirling over characters
Plot twists
Character driven plots.
Hate:
Editing.
Writer's block.
Stupid characters that insist on being there.
Not enough time.
How do you overcome writer's block?
Talk to a friend.
Try a new angle.
Look at it from a new POV
Watch movies.
Read.
Shove it in a drawer.
Sulk.
Move.
Make a cup of tea.
Pinterest
Music.
Are you working on something at the moment?
YOU BET I AM!
I am working on connecting two stories together. When those are done they will finish my very very very unofficial extremely loosely linked stories. (So much so it's not even a series) but all of my countries shall soon have books, and I am not sure if there will be more to add to them later...but the basics will be out.
Tying up the loose ends of my plots for book 2&3 of the Grace trilogy. Book two I think FINALLY came together, so I'll be working on writing that, and I'll finish sketching and fleshing out characters for book 3 (and maybe a short story because you know characters are just like that.)
There is an Asian story I am working on, though how I'll publish it. I am not sure.
Writing goals this year?
Build up my platform
Finish a book up and move towards publishing another book.
WHEW! That was fun! Feeling like doing the tag? You're it! Take it on over to your blog and comment below with the link so I can check it out!
An author's best friend is creativity. Finding it and keeping it can be hard, but so worth it. Pay attention to the things that make you more productive and try to make sure you are sufficiently fueling yourself with those things for maximum output.
Struggling with making things work? Consider what kind of learner you are, and try encouraging your story by stimulating your senses.
Auditory, listen to music or sounds that relate to your story, or inspire you.
Visual, search pinterest for pictures that emulate you story, or look through your story board, maybe take a break from your black and white screen, and go out into the world in search of beauty and wonder.
Sensory, step away from the computer and find something to do...a walk in some fresh air, or do a project your character might enjoy. Maybe you need to step away from the computer and change your mode of creativity, take a writing device of preference and take some paper outside or a different place in your house and write,or interview your characters.
Being an author is wonderful, but don't forget to take the time to live and breathe just for yourself as well. Writing is a wonderful and whimsical world, but don't forget to make it lovely and beautiful for yourself as well.
There was something about this song when I first met it. It has this wonderful best friend quality to it, that is just encouraging wonderful go on with life theme.
I love the energy, and there is so many ways this song could go...
Best friends
Side-kick
Brothers at arms
Love story
Love-triangle (you know the one who is waiting for the one to notice them...)
Bromance (as much as I hate using the word I can't think of a better one, the relationship is so much more than that.)
So, you may...or may not know that I've been struggling with a novel idea for, well, years now. It has been haunting me, refusing to let me go...yet I've run into so many plot ruts and holes and twists and turns that I've found myself throwing my hands in the air going...
and a half a draft later going....
Watching another attempt just shut down the story
The other day I dragged it out again after another hatchling of inspiration peeped out.
I decided to give it another chance and looked at the cast of characters. Different characters have popped up and made parts of the story easier and took it places that I wanted it to...however it was the villain that was still giving me problems.
He's not a "terrible" villain, he's more of a Jane Austen breed of bad boy I am sure he'd love to hang out with Willoughby and Wickham...I am sure they'd gamble away a few fortunes and break a few hearts together. However, his various interests and how he originally played into the story was giving me a hard time...
So I decided to go back to the drawing board with my villain and see how he came out....
You see, he began as a medical student....and then a book later was like...what is medicine? Look MONEY!!! I WANNA RUN A BANK!!!!!
and I am going...that's not what you went to school for...
what a waste of money....
So I threw out medical school, and the schoolmate scenario and made him a family friend...
Books have changed your life, now you have written or are writing your own, so what are some important things as a writer for you to have?
B
Beta-Readers
Beta-Readers are one of the best things that ever happened to me. I struggled to complete novels and eventually they would just die because my personal inspiration would begin to doubt itself and my determination would peter out into drivel and despair, and I'd give up, only to begin again with a new idea that would also die a slow and incomplete death.
Beta-readers changed that for me. With the encouragement and insight from my first beta-reader, I finished my first novel and many more since, because of my beta-readers...who have told me when I am doing a good job, I am out of line, or something just doesn't jam. They make me not only a better writer but a better person.
Get yourself some good beta-readers, and be a better writer.
Music is one of the beautiful things in life. So often it can help fuel, inspire, or even create a story.
One of my favorite pastimes is just listening to music, searching for storyful lyrics and beautiful voices. So I am going to try and do weekly posts, sharing some of my old, new, random, favorite music pieces that inspire me as a writer. I hope you'll find some entertainment for your own muse.
Note, not all of these songs will be perfect, and though I love classical, when I am searching for story music....I go into all kinds of music because there are all kinds of characters and stories....so sit back and enjoy some ear-spiration.
Grace is a common theme for my life...and the lives of my characters. As I am working on the second and third book of my Grace Trilogy, I keep being drawn back to this song.
You are an author. Whether it is just a short story, a book report, a research paper, the first draft of your first novel, or if you are a published author making15.00 or 15,000 a month. You are an author. That title is yours! Don't be afraid to own it and wear it proudly.
Like hundreds of other authors, you aren't on amazon's or the New York Best Sellers list, but you are making a difference, and no one else can tell your stories the way you tell them. So go write! Share your stories with the world. Be the Author you were born to be!
