Understanding the Nature of the Antagonist Not all antagonists of a story are "bad guys". Not all antagonists are characters. It's time to understand the nature of your antagonist.

All fiction has an antagonist, but it would be wrong to believe that all antagonists are other characters. It's just one of the topics in my book "Antagonistic Beats of a Story", which comes out in 2 weeks.

The North Pole is in Antarctica… There is a reason no one has ever found Santa's workshop. It's because everyone has been looking in the wrong place. The North Pole is really in Antarctica.

No one has ever found Santa's workshop because they're looking in the wrong place. Santa's workshop is in Antarctica, NOT the Artic Circle. I'm not crazy, honest. I have solid scientific reasoning for my conclusions. #Christmas #SantaClaus #SantasWorkshop #MondayBlog

The Stages of Editing Editing falls into three main categories: developmental editing, copyediting, and proofreading. Each stage is necessary to the production of a book.

I encounter many writers who believe that #editing is just about punctuation and grammar... but it's so much more than that. In today's #MondayBlog, I'm breaking down the stages of editing as I define them. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Deciding between First Person and Third Person Sometimes, there is something about a manuscript that wants to be written using a particular narrative style. My technothriller “Dancing in the Purple Rain” was no different.

Normally, when a book is published, you only see the published version. In my recent blog post, I shared snippets from when I was still drafting, showing readers how different narration choices led to a different story.
