Yup, an opinion piece. Kind of an odd one, too. But why not? After all, I finished the first draft of Jungle yesterday. I'm in a good mood. It's been a while since the last one. And this topic has been on my mind for a good week or so; seems as good a time as any to bring it up.

457,931 words.

Today’s post is going to be a little different. Aside from being late (I was asleep for a good chunk of the day). It’s also going to be a bit less about the act of writing and the gritty details of writing and character development (we’ve got plenty of posts on those already, and plenty more to come) and more on the mentality of it.

Welcome and Merry Christmas, readers, to this quite delayed Being a Better Writer post! First of all, it must be said, I'm sorry for the delays. I try to avoid letting these happen, but with the Christmas rush being what it has been ... I'm fighting to get a lot of things done.

Okay, not so slight. I've got work shifts today and tomorrow, so this week's Being a Better Writer post will be delivered Wednesday. Sorry about this.

Also, it'll be the last BaBW post through the new year. Cause, you know, Christmas and all.

See you Wednesday!

Hey there readers!

Yes, once again this post is falling on a Tuesday. I've taken a larger than normal load of shifts during the Christmas rush to help keep myself afloat (and maybe afford a little advertising on the side), so my schedule has been in a bit more of a time crunch than usual.
