The Multiple Pots on the Stove Method

November 12, 2019November 12, 2019 Axie OhLeave a comment

This is a visual representation of how I felt this past summer before my second book’s release. [If you’re wondering what I’m cooking, it’s ramen (*see Author’s note below). Because every person in my family must have their own pot of ramen]. This is what I call having “multiple pots on the stove,” which upon… Continue reading The Multiple Pots on the Stove Method

I immediately thought to myself, well that’s funny because my day job literally involves cliffhangers… And with that I completely wrote off the article. That is until a few weeks ago because… Continue reading Cliffhangers Are…

Picking The Right POV

October 15, 2019October 13, 2019 Akshaya RamanLeave a comment

My favorite part of starting a new project is getting to write new characters. Usually I go in already knowing what POV (or POVs, since most books I write have multiple) the book will be told from.
