Don't Have a Not Sad Day (cad é?)

January 25th is National Opposite Day! So for today I would like you to write a paragraph from your book again, but with genders and roles switched. So if you have a female hero against a male villain, it's now a male villain against a female hero. However, keep any physical characteristics that would stay in the case of a gender switch, such as hair and eye color, build, and height proportions. (So if you were transferring a male to a female, they wouldn't be 6'4", but probably around 5'11".)

In addition, due to a ridiculously busy schedule I probably won't be able to post Mondays anymore, with few exceptions. Sorry.

P.S. The language in the title is Irish. It translates to "what?", as I'm sure you might have imagined. I was originally going to do "qué?", the Spanish, but I prefer Irish.

Is Your Character Healthy?

January 24 is Women's Healthy Weight Day. Figure out what your female characters' ideal weight should be and decide for yourself what their actual weight is. For example, Tate is 5'10" and is very active, so she's usually around 135/140ish, which is healthy for her height and activity level.

Blerg!

Blerg! I wasn't able to get on yesterday because I was too busy, and I Just got a new pair of contact lenses today and I can't see anything close-up, so bear with me because I won't be able to see my spelling mistakes. Anyway, today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so for today's prompt I want you to imagine that you are part of a minority for your race/gender/religion like MLK was. Now, what are you going to do about it?

We're Changing Things Up in Here

OMG! Change! Hide me! HIDE ME!

I realize that I neglect this blog a little too much. So we're changing things up in here, as the title suggests. I'm going to post something every day from now on. But don't worry, not a long dragging thing that I usually do. The days when I don't have the time to post something long and dragging I'm going to post something short just to help you with your writing. And believe me, something short may actually help more because you can't use it to procrastinate like I know you do. That's right, I know what you do. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't count as writing if you just look at writing blogs. Understand? Good.

In addition, do you like the new layout? I understand that I'm changing it way too much, but at the same time I'm just trying to get it to look like what I envision.
