Michelle has been a book addict since picking up 'The Cat in the Hat'.

She started writing her own stories in junior high, when TV shows didn't turn out like she thought they should. Her first rejection letter came the summer after high school graduation, her first published story was in connection with fan fiction, and her first sale was in the Writers of the Future anthology.

With a BA in theater/English and an MA in Communications, focused on film and writing, she has worked for a local newspaper, then in advertising, and now works as a freelance editor. She is published in multiple sub-genres of romance, as well as SF and fantasy. Awards include multiple finals in the EPIC Awards competition and winning in 2006 and 2010, and finalist in

Hi, Lilyyy

Thanks, I'm always looking for people willing to post reviews of my books. What genres do you prefer reading? Which of my books have you read already? I can provide you audiobook download codes for a limited number of my books (it takes a while to get them recorded and edited), and can provide epub or mobi/Kindle files for my most recent releases.

Just let me know what appeals to you. Check my website for new and upcoming titles: www.Mlevigne.com, and also www.YeOldeDragonBooks.com

As for how I decided I wanted to be a writer ... it seems more like writing chose me. I've always had a very active imagination, and a strong passion for stories. I got in the habit of continuing TV shows and books I loved by making up new adventures for the characters in my imagination, and gradually adding my own characters. I had tried writing down some of the stories I made up, but they died quickly, until high school. I had a story consuming too much of my energy, when I needed to study for semester exams. So I wrote down the story, expecting it to die ... and it kept growing. It and several books after it were just awful, and will never see the light of day. But that was my launching point into writing as my passion and now my career.

Thanks for asking!(less)

There's …moreUsually writer's block comes from having too much to do, too many projects I want to work on, rather than being unable to think of something. There's a traffic jam in my head, pressure to get something done. Usually I have a deadline of some kind, and I want to work on something else. One of the best tactics is to divide up my day into sections for different chores. Mornings are for rough drafting or the creative aspect -- new books. Afternoons are for the day job -- earning a living. Evenings are for editing, revising something that was written months before. Determine when you have the most creative energy and protect it like the crown jewels. That is YOUR time, and no one has any right to waste that time and use up your energy that should be devoted to your writing.(less)

We Need a Little Christmas!

 


My favorite part of the holiday season is to put together a bunch of shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We fill them with school supplies, toys, hygiene items, useful things, fun things, and send them through Samaritan's Purse to children in foreign countries, to assist in the day-to-day demonstration of Jesus' love.

Let me give YOU a gift this year:

Michelle Levigne is finished with The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines: Whew! Lots of useful information.
Great comparisons and examples.
For those who plan ahead in great detail, this is a wonderful tool -- help with plotting, avoiding a lot of rewriting and revising and those moments of "Dang, my character is fighting me. She wouldn't do/say that, but I need her to do/say that for the sake of the plot!"
Going to refer to this book a LOT in the future.
