ARCHIVE FOR Dead Darlings: Everything Novel

Welcome from the snow-slogged, weather-weary folks at Dead Darlings. We have so much snow that there really is nothing better to do than read a few good posts. Grab a cup of whatever it is you like to drink and take a look at our favorites from January.

A Personal Writing Retreat

Amber Elias in DIY Retreat: Rev Up Your New Writing Year gives us the perfect way to jumpstart our writing this new year – a one-day, do-it-yourself writing retreat.

Welcome to 2015! It’s the time of year for resolutions and new beginnings, but before you get to all of that, check out our favorite posts from the last month of 2014.

A Dead Darling

We were honored to have Sharon Bially grace our pages. In Fiction-Writing: My Dead Darling, she writes eloquently about her passion for writing, and why she decided to stop.

Like everyone else, we at Dead Darlings are winding down another year and getting ready for whatever 2015 has in store for us. To bring 2014 to a close, we offer you our favorite posts from the last month:

 Researching Your Own History

Alison Murphy in Personal Artifacts: Researching Your Own History has a lovely post on the power of memory and personal history and how it can influence our lives and novels.

Author interviews, NaNoWriMo, query letters, and a little travel – we have it all over at Dead Darlings - the website brought to you by GrubStreet Novel Incubator Alums. Here are some of our favorite posts from the past month:
