You Gotta Get Behind Your Character

Lyn Hawks · September 10, 2016 · Leave a Comment

There are a lot of reasons to write a book, but for me, it’s because I’ve fallen in love with a particular person. (Not actual, though my characters talk to me constantly like they’re very, very real. And love interests, exes, et cetera have fueled some pretty interesting writing … [Read more...] about You Gotta Get Behind Your Character

There Was a Reason Prince Was Purple

Lyn Hawks · July 10, 2016 · 2 Comments

His Purple Highness, the Prince we all loved, rocked a color that is neither red nor blue. It's more than a royal shade; it's the perfect blend that holds all things.

Bless You, Beta Readers

Lyn Hawks · August 11, 2015 · Leave a Comment

There's no motivation like real, red-blooded beta readers to make you dive back into a manuscript and rip it up. The beginning dragged, a couple readers said. I dispensed with the first chapter and wrote another. No one uses the word "frosh," said a couple others. I hit … [Read more...] about Bless You, Beta Readers

So excited for next week, and about the lesson on So excited for next week, and about the lesson on rhetoric and persuasive speech I just posted to Teachers Pay Teachers. It’s also a chance to explore media objectivity and bias as well as American history and women in politics. Content analysis and close reading, cooperative learning, Socratic discussion, and then multiple choice questions that help students get ready for standardized tests. All things to all people! If you know of an English or History teacher needing a lesson for next week, please point them to Success Story on Teachers Pay Teachers. On this historic occasion, there’s so much to celebrate!
