- [Lessons Learned from NaNoWriMo: Write or Die](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2010/11/23/lessons-learned-from-nanowrimo-write-or-die/) - There have been many things said about National Novel Writing Month. Mostly good but some bad (the most ludicrous of which, in my opinion: that people should be concentrating more on reading rather than writing. That there are already enough writers out there to satisfy the demand for the "dwindling number of readers." This argument

Before I post the text and my discussion of it
- [Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2010/12/01/winner-winner-chicken-dinner/) - This blog gets its name from the catchphrase of NaNoWriMo, "Thirty Days and Nights of Literary Abandon."

- [Letters to an Aspiring Author, part 1](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2010/12/06/letters-to-an-aspiring-author-part-1/) - “For the creator there is not poverty and no poor, indifferent place” —Rilke Rainier Maria Rilke was born in what is now Czech Republic, of humble but not impoverished beginnings.

- [Research: All About Underclothing](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2010/12/19/research-all-about-underclothing/) - The things you never worried about knowing while reading Pride and Prejudice: Just what was Lizzie wearing underneath her gown? I guess it would never signify, since occassion "on stage" never called for her to take off her gown. Writing a romance novel set in the Regency era changes all those things you never wondered

- [Through the Genres](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2011/03/27/through-the-genres/) - I started out writing Fantasy. Pure Fantasy. Swords and sorcery and... well actually if I go even further back I started out at the ripe age of twelve writing poems. Some people think in pictures. I have always "seen" and "heard" my thoughts as words. Words that form pictures, concise and succinct. Words that paint

I had a total of approximately 83,000 words at the end of November. When I printed out the manuscript (due to a mess of compatibility between Scrivener and Word), several scenes were duplicated. Beyond that, when I'd started writing some of the "candy bar"

Links for future reference: The Irish Code
- [A Writer's Tools: Fingerless Gloves](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2011/03/26/a-writers-tools-fingerless-gloves/) - I do most of my writing time on my laptop, a Macbook which happens to be made of aluminum. And as aluminum is a conductive metal, it gets ice cold in chilly weather--or in an overly air-conditioned Starbucks (a coffee-fueled writer talking, here). I can be all swathed in a comfy jacket, warm socks and

But earlier in the year, I heard an accomplished author, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, confess that she said this to herself regularly: “You’re not special.” Meaning that what you are
- [Incorporating Figurative Language in Prose](https://brennaaubrey.net/blog/2011/05/27/incorporating-figurative-language-in-prose/) - One of the qualities of truly rich and enjoyable prose—language that you can bite off and chew—includes figurative devices. There is so much more to telling a story than describing events. Especially when romance is involved. Reading a book is not about absorbing words and hearing a story. A good storyteller conveys their story by

But what was it about Mr. Darcy that made him so swoon-worthy? Was it his dark good looks, his heaping 10,000 a year? Was it his surly,
