edit data

Sophia Madison is a young writer of dark fantasy novels. By night, she gallivants in the realm of witches and wizards, vampires and angels, sirens and goddesses. By day, she is a pediatric registered nurse, who sings songs about unicorns and rainbows while showering little kids in lollipops and stickers.

Although having written for more than half of her life, with more than a dozen completed novels collecting dust in a locked drawer, The Phoenix Series: Blue Ruin, is her first published work. It began as an idea --- of a girl who was alone with the world against her. Two years, relentless editing, lots of crying, and lots of moments of defeat and uncertainty later, Blue Ruin has been thrown into the world of published works.

It is worse than dealing with flawed characters, plot holes, and an array of other obstacles an author might face. With writer's block, you. Know. Nothing. It's like staring at a blank sheet of paper and trying to read it. Actually, that's exactly what it is.

However, I've learned a few things. The most important thing I've learned is that there is a cause of writer's block. Usually, an author might experience writer's block when something in the story isn't working. That particular scene doesn't fit. The plot has taken an unforeseen turn that has now derailed the entire story. A character isn't acting as they should. Once the problem is discovered and resolved, I've been able to continue writing. To get to this point, I'll listen to music, edit previous chapters, and write out my goals/plans for the rest of the story as a way to find my way back onto the path. (less)

Weekly Question: Inspiration

What story has recently inspired/moved you?

I haven’t read a published book in nearly two years. I’ve been sucked into the writing community (Scribophile), where I’ve been critiquing as a beta-reader. I’ve read dozens of completed manuscripts and have gained my inspiration from those unpublished works. A fellow author, Susan Boesger, posted her urban/contemporary fantasy on the site whe
