Wednesday Words: Something to Talk About

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Silver James

Today’s #1LineWed is all about dialogue. Characters talking means telling rather than showing. That’s a good thing, as opposed to that whole show is better than tell thing. Info dumps (telling) is not good. Bringing out info/back story via conversation? … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Alliteration Always Appears

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Silver James

KOD’s theme for #1lineWed over on Twitter today is “Alliteration.” Yeah…I don’t really do that. At least not back-to-back words. There might be a spread-out version in some of my sentences. As an update to THE DEVIL’S CUT, I think … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Short and Sweet

Posted on September 16, 2015 by Silver James

Today’s #1lineWed theme is basically, “Short and to the point.” Technically, “Short lines: convey your message in as few words as possible.” This should be an easy assignment for me. While I tend to bloviate upon occasion, my characters can … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Making Sense

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Silver James

I haven’t done #1lineWed in over a month…maybe even two. If I take the time to play, I get caught up in all the lines people post and I forget to, you know, write! 😆 Today’s theme is SENSES and … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words – New Character

Posted on August 19, 2015 by Silver James

I had a migraine Monday night/Tuesday morning. The lay-in-the-dark-and-watch-the-lightning-streaks-keep-time-with-the-throbbing-in-my-head kind. I finally fell asleep about 6 a.m., was awakened at 8:30 with a text, dealt with the problem that prompted the text, and crashed until 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I still … Continue reading →

Another hump day, more snippets because as y’all are well aware by now, Wednesday means #1lineWed on Twitter. Today doesn’t have a theme, pulling the lines from page 1, 11, and/or 111. I’m at almost 33K words and working steadily … Continue reading →
