Inspiration Monday: Love at First Fight

  By

This week in InMona-mana (dodo, dododo): Aaaaand we’re back. In other news: I was sitting at dinner squinting blankly as a bunch of gamers talked about how “Killing Threedog would ruin my karma,” and “I met the behemoth outside the radio station,” I waited for a pause in the conversation to announce: “I was plotting the other day and came up with a great inciting incident, but then I hit a hole and realized I needed more backstory.”

Gamer proceeds to tell me about a song in a game with the phrase “inciting incident.” Sigh.

And now for our top stories:

Inspiration Monday: Quiet Light

  By

This week on Stage InMon: I’ve gotten into the habit of telling people corny jokes and then snorting and slapping my knee while everyone else just chuckles politely. Should I be worried?

Inspiration Monday: The Snark Ages

  By

This week in the InMon lab: Wondering what you’re going to make for dinner tonight and then discovering half a patty melt leftover from yesterday’s lunch in the fridge. In other news, I’m wondering what the neighbors will think of me spreading soil over a new flowerbed after dark. There just wasn’t enough sun in Sunday!

Inspiration Monday: Portable Night

  By

This week in InMon studios: They are taking Doctor Who off of Netflix. But I only have seasons 1-4 on disc. I am trying not to panic. In other news, don’t miss Tolkien on why we write.

And now for our top stories! I found this week to be a particularly fun one on all accounts:

Inspiration Monday: Catastrophic Success

  By

This week at the InMon Times: I discover a very useful book for writers with forensics questions, an interesting article about the James Patterson bestseller machine, and that they’re planning to make a Silver Chair movie after all. All of which you’d already know if you followed me on Pinterest.

A light week for our top stories, but a goodie:
