Thank you for this lesson, Jan! I've never thought about using anachronism intentionally, but now that you've pointed it out, I can see how it can be used effectively. I think I'm going to try some biblical anachronism. I definitely see the need to be careful in that area. I can also see how it can ...

Hi Jan, I'd also love to hear any advice you have for cultivating good writing habits. Do you recommend writing for a specific amount of time each day? I have decided to work on writing articles with the hopes of being published in magazines or online sites. Would you recommend getting articles edit...

My grandparents lived through the depression, so I'll be able to interview them and others. There is a small museum in my town that is useful for information. There are two different National Historic sites within an hour away as well, and they carry books with local history in them. One of the book...

Thank you so much for this lesson, Jan! I'm currently writing a YA novel based in the depression, and the setting is my little hometown in Northern, B.C., Canada. I've done a lot of research, but I have so much more to do. One of my characters dies, and I had to research prevalent diseases of that t...

Thank you for this lesson, Jan! And thank you Graham for being willing to share it here. I've only entered the challenge four times, but I really didn't know why some of my entries did well and others didn't. It was helpful to see you go through the criteria point by point. Next time I enter, I'll g...

Thank you for these wonderful lessons! I think that I do have an understanding of how most of these words should be used, but a few of them surprised me. I thought that I understood how to use affect/effect, but I didn't, so I'm very glad to be made aware of that problem! Thank you for the little ti...

Thank you for the encouragement, Jan! This site and the people on it are blessing me every day.

Thank you so much for sharing these lessons, Jan. I'll be honest; I'm scared. It's disorienting to find out that a familiar word doesn't mean what I've always thought it did. I think that I'm most disturbed about enormity. The word brings an elephant to mind, and in my imagination, it doesn't look e...

Thank you for the lesson, Jan! About a month ago I started studying the science of writing, and at first it completely overwhelmed me. Much of it is beginning to make sense now. I'll keep checking out your lessons. This is exactly what I need!

It's on Amazon. I actually got it off of Amazon.ca (Canadian) which was really nice because I didn't have to deal with the exchange.

Hi Amy! I just purchased the Kindle edition of, Bring Your Writing to Life. I'm looking forward to getting into it. Thanks for sharing your passion!

Congratulations everyone! I'm really looking forward to the challenge starting up again.

Technically, a writer can write without novel software. Heck, they can even write without a computer. The point of writing software is to make it easier in keeping track of things, especially big projects like novels. Most novel software (the good ones) will keep track of writing notes, projects id...

Congratulations to all the winners! It's so neat to be able to read the winning entries. I'm looking forward to the challenge starting up again so I can join in the fun.
