H.P. Holo grew up in a family where it was dangerous to profess boredom. She’s also an incorrigible smart aleck. So when her parents told her to read a dictionary, she did. And then she began writing novels they needed that dictionary to understand.

Her first published ode to smart aleckery was YA fantasy The Wizard’s Way (with Jacob Holo), which readers have called everything from “quirky and fun” to “a veritable love letter to steampunk fans” to “2 stars. A book.”

Between those milestones, H.P. has practiced varying degrees of smart and aleck. She briefly taught 8th Grade English Language arts before realizing she didn’t care to aspire to that level of sainthood. She thus left to work for her local library system, where she spent a decade a

It may not feel particularly productive at first, but often I find that after a few hundred words, a solution presents itself - and very often it's a solution that I hadn't even considered to begin with!(less)

It doesn't matter how bad you think it is, or whether you don't have anything in particular to write about. If there's a story inside you begging to be told, then it will find its way out. Sometimes it just takes a little more work and revision than you'd expect.

Inversely, though the idea-generation stage and free-writing process might be fun, there comes a point where you have to sit down and organize your thoughts, especially if you're writing a longer work like a novel. Letting a story chart its own course is a fun experience, but in the long run, it's not very efficient if you actually want to produce a finished work.

The trick is finding the balance of planning and free-writing that works for you. It's different for every author, but both are essential.(less)
