Three things to avoid doing while writing YA

August 8, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Here are three thing you should avoid doing when writing a Young Adult novel.

Young Adult is one of the more consistently popular categories of genre fiction right now. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it does well in every genre, either. And with YA novels seeming to be filling up the shelves of the nearest Barnes and Noble at an alarming rate, you may want […]

Five Questions to ask yourself when revising

August 7, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Revising your manuscript is one of the most difficult things in writing. Many authors will tell you that revising a novel is far more difficult than writing it in the first place. And I get it. I have an unpublished novel that revising has been a complete nightmare on. A lot of the problems with […]

August 4, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

The best articles I read about writing this week.

I’m a little late with the post again, but that’s okay. I took the day off and spent the day at a local country fair with the kids. Had a great time and 2yo got to see a giant bunny. And with that said, here is this week’s collection of Five Links Friday! 1. Derek […]

Is my attention span the problem?

August 2, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

I'm stuck in the writing rut of bouncing from one project to the next without every finishing anything. Here's what I plan to do about it.

I don’t know what the deal is. I write (or maybe it’s better said “work on writing stuff”) every day, but I just can’t seem to get out of a slump. I constantly feel like I’m not seeing enough progress, and no matter what I’m working on, it seems like I want to be working […]

June/July Progress Report 2017

August 1, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

Here's an update on my writing accomplishments and goals for the last couple of months.

Man, it seems like just yesterday I was sitting at the dentist office talking about how great the weather was (this was during a period of something like 10 solid days of non-stop rain) and he said, “Yeah, a lot of people complain about it, but I just remind them of what comes next.” Well, […]

Make the Connection or Find a Rejection

July 31, 2017 By: Jason Bougger

There are plenty of things in writing that don’t make sense. For example why is your favorite book not an international best seller? Or why is that book you just hate selling out in bookstores nationwide? Those are questions we might not be able to answer. For some reason, some books, TV shows, or movies, […]
