Raquo; Meet my character: Katja from A Burial Ground of Dreams. Meet my character: Katja from A Burial Ground of Dreams. I was kindly invited to this blog hop by the utterly lovely Candice Montgomery. She also helped me settle on introducing Katja, my ‘bisexual black Swedish fashion-designer-turned-Valkyria’. 1) What is the name of your character? I’m Katja. And this is Gråtass, my ulv. He would never let me forget him. Of course not. Someone has to keep you on your toes before you learn the ropes. I don...

http://mariehogebrandt.se/articles/nanowrimo-2014
Raquo; NaNoWriMo 2014. Inspired by Sarah Kettle’s NaNo. I decided to post something as well. Last year’s NaNo was actually the same thing as the one I attempted 2012, but very much refocused. Since I finished the first draft, I’ve outlined the sequel (I’d intended to write that during Camp NaNo, but ended up not having time for it). I’ve also outlined another in the series, with plans for the final book as well. A burial ground of dreams. Forest guardian) great-grandmother. Feature-wise she is tall a...

Raquo; Writing Process. As I’ve seen how other people work, I’ve decided that it’s time to share my process, from initial idea to a finished story. The first step is the most random one, and the end result may or may not have anything in common with the planted seed. It can be based on a character (. What if a woman ‘woke up’ dead, insistant on finding her killer. On a myth (. I love the legends of the Scottish warriors! On a situation (. A killer is after the main character! Or even a reaction (. Midpoi...

Raquo; Revision control for writers. Revision control for writers. We all know about the more common ways of dealing with backup/revisions. It’s along these lines:. Rename file with a date. Copy folder with all the revisions to a spare harddrive/etc. Now, I’m fairly techsavy (which is probably evident by the rest of the articles), but since revisions are such a large part of writing, I hope that I will be able to explain in an accessible way how to use revision. Lines looking like this. But the two speci...
