A most happy December! I cannot believe we've made it to the final month of 2025. With writing events coming to a close, along with the year itself, now is the perfect time to look back on our accomplishments and continue to dream forward. Whether you've been pounding away at a novel for the past month or so or have a WIP that's been in the works throughout the year, this final set of Know the Novel questions is a great chance to reflect on all that you've produced. Onward to Part Three! KNOW THE NOVEL What is Know the…

November is here, friends! This is often the busiest month for writers. Stories are being told and creativity abounds, and this month's set of Know the Novel questions is all about that gloriously messy writing process! Welcome back to Part 2! Maybe you're just settling in to dive into writing those words, or need a break from words already written (hi, yes, FicFrenzy is already halfway over!!), or are writing within your own time. No matter your approach to bringing that beautiful story in your head to life in words, this month's set of questions is a great opportunity to…

Happy October! We have entered the season where we writers THRIVE, and with lots of writing challenges on the horizon, many of us are putting on our plotting hats as we prep for a fall of story-making. And that's where Know the Novel comes in! There is nothing quite like building up the excitement of a story with the support of your friends behind you or taking some quiet time to reflect on your WIP and gather your thoughts. So if you're looking for a fun way to share the writing process with your followers OR simply need some questions…

OCTOBER IS HERE. And not only has one of my favorite months of all time graced us with its presence, but it also means gearing up for writing for a lot of us writers which also means... *drumroll* Know the Novel time! I'm pretty sure we writers thrive in the fall. And by thrive I mean stock up on an unhealthy amount of caffeine and candy and hole away in our writing caves for a month at a time only emerging at odd hours to mumble something incoherent about wordcounts and probably needing food. It's great. But if you're a…

We've made it, friends! A season of frenzied writing has come to a close, and as golden days shift to the soft hues of winter, it's time to take a breath and celebrate everything we've accomplished. Who else is in shock that December is here? The final month of 2023, friends! It's mindblowing. But whatever this year looked like for you, please take time to remember everything you did. Every word, every step forward is worth celebrating. Life is not about reaching the finish lines but ever moving forward. That is the true win. For the third and final part…

We've made it to November! And that means Part 2 of the Know the Novel 3-part tag is HERE. Hello, my fellow writers! November is usually a big month in the writing community. Whether you're diving into NaNoWriMo or another writing event today or have reached the halfway point for FicFrenzy (but seriously, how are we halfway there already??), I hope the creativity is flowing, the words are coming, and, most importantly, you're having fun. Writing can be...exhausting. But it can also be such an exhilarating venture, and I hope you don't let the overwhelm of it bog you down…

Happy October, my friends! My favorite time of the year is at last here, and alongside the cooling temperatures and excuses to drink copious amounts of cozy warm drinks comes, for many of us, the season of writing! Fall is renowned (at least amid the writing community) for its great writing challenges—NaNoWriMo, King's Daughter's Writing Camp, Fiction Frenzy, etc. There is just something about the fall weather that brings that itch for writing. As such, six years ago I created a 3-part tag that offers the community a chance to invite their readership into the writing process and take a…
