How my cats singlehandedly gave me the idea for my current WIP…

May 31, 2022May 26, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 2 Comments

27,300 words in a month. I'm one-third of the way through Project Pea - at least I think I am, if I'm right and it ends up being around 80k words - and I already can't believe I've gotten this far. If you've read some of my previous posts, you'll know that it's been a … Continue reading How my cats singlehandedly gave me the idea for my current WIP…

Do you really have to follow “writing rules?”

Character Creation Doesn’t Have to Be a Chore

January 7, 2022January 6, 2022 / E.J. Robison / 2 Comments

Otherwise, you're left with a useless plot and no characters to reach out and bring … Continue reading Character Creation Doesn’t Have to Be a Chore

Many people don't think about tools when it comes to writing. All you need is a laptop or a pen and paper and you're good, right? As writers, we know that's wrong. If we want to be successful and efficient at our craft, there are certain tools that are good to have. With Christmas being … Continue reading The Write Stuff

The Writing Process (Part 1)

September 24, 2021 / E.J. Robison / 4 Comments

If you read my post from Monday, you know that I'm writing a short story about a bonfire this week. But as I started writing, I started thinking that instead of just posting the finished product, I could walk you through the process of how I write! Why would I do this?
