Okay mortals, Moos has gotten countless questions about this over the years, so I’m gonna clear things up for you. And no, this isn’t just a recap of the Character Description post I did awhile back. This is completely different. Just read it, okay!
Here’s the truth. Describing stuff is easy. The chair is blue. See? Easy.
Describing stuff well? Now that’s hard. Really hard.
Why?
Hello again, mortals.
I considered letting everyone know I would be gone on vacation, but then I remembered I don’t care. So I didn’t.
The important thing is that I’m back. And what a mess to come back to!
Sorry for missing last week. Okay, no I’m not. I’m a busy muse. I got plot holes to fix, characters to motivate, people to inspire.
Besides, last week was a bit stressful for Moos since her latest TurtleWriters blog post ruffled a few feathers. Her focus was completely shot after that. So I resorted to giving her a shiny new idea and it worked a bit too well. She kind of exploded and now she has a 7 page, chapter by chapter outline, plus ideas for three more books in the series.
THE SERIES!
It was just a silly idea, Moos! You were supposed to say hi and give it a quick pat. Not kidnap it, give it a mate, and make babies!
(Deep breaths, Ivy. Deep breaths.)
Anyway, I’m back and once again being forced to impart my writerly knowledge unto the masses. Moos doesn’t give me enough chocolate for this.
So, character descriptions. Let’s get right to it. Continue reading “Ivy on Character Description”
(For anyone unfamiliar with Ivy, here’s her introduction and an explanation of these posts.)
I mentioned last week that Moos is launching MoosEditorial soon.
I’m not gonna lie. I thought she’d have given up on it by now. She almost did a few times, actually. Imposter Syndrome is no joke, mortals. And she’s got it for one of the silliest reasons ever. Continue reading “Ivy introduces MoosEditorial (with a little help)”

I think I’m beginning to understand what that “give them an inch and they’ll take a mile” phrase really means. I come in and save the blog from imminent disaster and what do I get for it? A new boss!
“Ivy, tell them about this. Ivy, explain that.”
Dang it, Moos, I’m a pixie! Not a puppet!
……..
Fine. I guess someone’s got to do it. Continue reading “Ivy the pixie publicist”

This week Moos seemed to have mistaken me for a circus performer. Balancing acts, juggling, taming the titan of terror. I’m a pixie! Not a juggler!
Here’s the run down:
Potty training (eew), reading (inspiring, so I can’t complain), a new movie (I’d like to complain, but it was really good), and a possible new venture (BAD BAD BAD … maybe?).
But before I get into all that, there’s a little something Moos forgot to mention. Continue reading “Ivy didn’t sign up for the circus”

First of all, I was supposed to update y’all a while ago, but a few things happened that prevented it. Better get comfortable, this is gonna be a long one.
For one thing, being a mom is no joke. It’s one giant mess of stress, exhaustion, and endless cleaning. Don’t even get me started on all the crying. And I’m not talking about the kids. Continue reading “Moos drew Ivy and Ivy’s not happy about it”
