Welcome to Words & Wonders, a weekly journal of writing updates, links I've found useful or interesting, and book recommendations. I hope W&W will prove to be useful to you writers out there as well as offering an insight into my writing progress for my readers. Don't forget to leave a comment with your own writing progress!
Missed a week because I went on holiday.
In the Writing Cave, this week:
- I wrote 11, 801 words of The Revelation. It's not going well tbh.
- I've planned, prepped, and plotted a Christmas short story (could be novella, could be novel, we'll see how it goes!) It's British urban fantasy, with witches and fae and elves, and f/f. I'll be sending this story out to all my newsletter subscribers for free as a treat for the holidays, but it'll also be up on Amazon. At some point, it could become a series, but I don't know for sure yet.

Discovery Found or Lesson Learned:
Before I start developing any characters, I HAVE to know their names, and from their names I build personality, looks, habits, family, etc. I also find it really helpful to have a list of surnames and male and female first names common to where the story is set (i.e. England, North West.) for unexpected characters and easy reference.
