Thank you, Quills and Inkblotts, for having me back! We’re glad to have you back on! Thanks for guest blogging with us again. We can’t wait to read this amazing character interview! Today I want to talk about one of the best ways to write three-dimensional characters, and get inside their skin. Sorry, I didn’t […]
Over the last few weeks, the writers at Quills and Inkblotts have experienced some massive highs and devastating lows. We’ve felt the surpassing joy of a book release, and suffered the total corruption of sin in this broken world. Pray for us, friends. We do cling to our only hope, our Savior, but sin […]
This month is all about our writing and those who support us on the journey. Here are five lessons I’ve learned along the way along with the people who taught me: Lesson #1: Communication=Love Let’s be honest, writing takes time. The more you want to accomplish, the more time it takes. In between home, family, […]
We’re getting closer to the end of the blog tour. Oh my, it’s been so much fun. Only a few more to go! I’m really looking forward to the blogger reviews to come. *chews on nails* For now, enjoy some quotes, straight outta Ending Fear. (Don’t forget to collect the Scavenger hunt word at the end of […]
This month on Quills and Inkblotts, we are thanking the people in our lives that make our writing dream a possibility. As expected as it is to say “I want to thank my husband”, I just have to say: I want to thank my husband. Without him, I would never have shared my stories with […]

It’s not that I […]
Let’s face it. Rejection sucks. No one ever likes to hear, “nope, sorry, your manuscript/project/idea/fill-in-the-blank just isn’t good enough.” But, unless you’re living somewhere on a deserted island, there’s no escaping rejection. I recently entered a story in a contest and found myself on the receiving end of some less than complimentary criticism. To put […]
Our very own Deanna Fugett’s YA dystopian is available for pre-order! We are so excited that her hard work will soon be available to the world! Here’s the summary for Ending Fear: “Fourteen-year-old Fear learns she was a parachute baby, dumped over the edge of the Gliding Lands as an infant. Fascinated by the floating […]
What is it about movies and music that fuel our creativity as writers? I can still remember watching classic films like “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “White Christmas,” singing and dancing along—it’s ingrained in me from childhood.
