As we head into November, I’m taking a two-month pause from blogging to work on some writing projects that I’ve not been able to focus on properly, and to consider the direction in which I want to steer my blog.

Milestones
October is always a busy month for us at the Campbell household as we get ready for the upcoming winter months here in Pennsylvania. Plus, I’m helping a friend with the discovery drafts of her first novel as she prepares for NaNoWriMo beginning next month.

I called my blog “Creating New Worlds” and made my first … Continue reading Twelve Years at WordPress

A Bit on Writing and Art
With NaNoWriMo in full swing, I’ve been seeing a lot of fiction writers write about plot. I’m a short story writer, but I’ve been through plenty of classes for novelists that teach Aristotle’s 3-act structure of Beginning, Middle, and End, and the popular 4-act structure (which lengthens and halves the Middle section) for novels.
