If you joined us here at Writing A Great Book, you want to become an author.​

Twenty years ago, my husband, John, embarked on an incredible journey. He ventured into the realm of science fiction. He crafted a series he called The Light Masters. What makes this even more fascinating is that John is a true “pantser.” He doesn’t meticulously plot out every detail. Instead, he dives straight into the writing process, letting inspiration guide him. It’s amazing to see where his imagination has taken him over the years!​

On the flip side, I’m searching for writing formulas. I am also looking for lists and handy cheat sheets to help guide my journey. I thrive on planning, organizing, and plotting out my stories. However, I won’t lie—fiction writing can often feel like climbing a steep mountain. If you find it challenging too, don’t worry! We’ve got a solution that can make the climb a little easier together.

When John wanted to create a Villain, I studied bad guys and created a writing formula to help John improve. You can find that formula at Formula for Creating Unforgettable Villains, and antagonists. You can find that formula at: Formula for Creating Unforgettable Villains.​

When John’s dialogue didn’t sound right, I created lists of alternate words for ask. Check out Ask, 78 Words to use Instead (Create Killer Speech Tags). I also created a list of words to replace said. I discovered that many writers use words to replace words that should never be used. Check that out at 50  Words to Never use to Replace said Plus 240 Words to Use
