WITS Throwdown: Social Media

Fae Rowen — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 12:00:06 +0000

by Fae Rowen To say that social media is not my strong suit is a lie. I'm not playing with a full deck; the social media suit is missing. And I don't care. I prefer to call someone rather than text them. Why? Because I want to hear the pitch, the inflection, the tone of […]

Writing Process Throwdown: A Mess in My Pants

Laura Drake — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 12:00:08 +0000

Mine is the last of our writing process throwdowns (or in my case, throw up). In case you missed the others, here they are: Fae, Orly, Jenny. I’ve been dreading this. Not because I’m embarrassed - I’m of the school that if it works, DO IT! I’m been more worried about how to explain my total […]

Throwdown Part 2: Write What You Don't Know

Fae Rowen — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:30:38 +0000

by Fae Rowen When Laura Drake originally suggested this topic months ago I knew I would be on the "don't know" end of the throwdown. Everyone else at Writers in the Storm writes about what they know. With Sharla Rae's historicals, she researches and researches until she has notebooks filled with information. Jenny Hansen writes […]

By D. A. Watt In my two previous blogs, I covered three other key lessons I've learned from horses; Attitude, Knowledge, and Imagination. Notice, talent is not included in my title. It’s not about talent; it’s about the three T’s of craft. If you’ve been writing for years, then you’ve got talent. My bet is you’ve […]

Sweat Equity: Perspiration vs. Inspiration in Writing

Fae Rowen — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 10:00:47 +0000

By Laura Drake On Monday, our own Fae Rowen took on the Inspiration half of this discussion, brilliantly. You can read it here. When this throwdown was first suggested, all the WITS Bloggers assumed I’d take the Sweaty side. I don’t want to think about what that says about me. Or my deodorant. Why? Because […]

Inspiration vs Perspiration in Writing

writersinthestorm — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 13:00:10 +0000

by Fae Rowen This one isn't so much a throwdown as a mirror reflecting what keeps us writing. Usually Laura Drake draws the line in the sand first, but today I'm going to talk about inspiration and writing. On Wednesday, since she's the queen of "bottom in the chair," Laura's going to follow-up with perspiration […]
