Standing Desk for my Three Day Novel Contest

September 3, 2012

Today I converted my usual work table in to a standing desk. And by that I mean, “I propped my computer up on an empty shoe box.” It’s actually the perfect height for me, though, so it works.  My mouse is sitting on a slightly smaller shoe box, which is a little wobbly, but life […]

SCBWI Los Angeles 2012

August 7, 2012

This past weekend, we at Ravenhart had one of the most amazing experiences of our lives.  Attending the SCBWI (that’s the Society of Children’s Book Authors and Illustrators) conference in Los Angeles this summer was absolutely incredible, and definitely one of the best things we’ve ever done for our writing career. The conference was, first […]

The Opposite of Writer’s Block – Writer’s Overflow? Writer’s Flood?

June 25, 2012

Yeah, “In Dreams” is a Movie Title. Also, Announcements :D

June 18, 2012

But it just fit that story so well. Plus, I like the ring of it. (The movie was pretty epically crazy, though, if you like that sort of thing.) Now, in all fairness, I actually could’ve finished the current piece and gotten it up in a decent amount of time, as I have with the […]

What Is Juvenilia, And Why Would You Post It?

May 25, 2012

So, I just finished reading through Blind, and I swear I almost took the post down before anyone else had the chance to see it. Not because it’s bad, because all things considered, it isn’t. It’s just that…well…OK, you have to understand that this story was written six years ago. When I was sixteen. I’ve […]

What Do You Want to Write, and What Are You Going to Do About It?

April 26, 2012

So you definitely want to be a writer – I mean, what’s not to love? You work from anywhere, be it your bed or a cafe in Florence. You set your own hours, so you can work for sixteen hours on one day and not at all the next. You can do all your writing […]
