Wow, editing…

May 24, 2024May 24, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

Wow, editing and redrafting take so long. Who knew? I can't believe it's been a month since I've checked in. I've been busy editing, redrafting, and doing other fun writer stuff like writing a logline and a synopsis. I didn't even know what a logline was, and the 400 word synopsis was almost as difficult … Continue reading Wow, editing…

To Prologue or Not to Prologue

April 11, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 1 Comment

A lot of people suggest not writing prologues. Just start at chapter one and be done with it. In fact, I recently heard an author saying many readers skip the prologue altogether. This horrified me. So whether to have a prologue or not have a prologue is a difficult decision. However, my book starts in … Continue reading To Prologue or Not to Prologue

What’s a Structural Edit?

April 2, 2024 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ Leave a comment

One thing I'm learning about writing is you learn everything as you go. You become a writer by writing. When I began this project I had no idea about writing, drafting, editing, publishing, or what a structural edit may or may not be. Now, I'm in the middle of one and it's a big mess. … Continue reading What’s a Structural Edit?

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the land on which I write and live, and the rich history of storytelling being an important part of the culture. I pay my respects to the elders, past and present, and acknowledge sovereignty of this land was never ceded.

Happy WORLD SAKE DAY 🍶 Listening to Charlotte Wood speaking to Jaclyn Crupi about her body of work last night was such a treat. There were so many take aways for an aspiring writer, but also a lot to learn from for an aspiring interviewer. The Mother of All Calamities by Lisa Moule is a fast paced, whirlwind story about contemporary parenting. It's funny and smart and hard to put down. This 400 year old ginkgo tree is one of the reasons I'm visiting Kyoto again in six weeks...it is a character, an inspiration, a catalyst, and a bridge between ages in my work in progress, I can't wait to sit in the sunshine and feel its magical energy again. When I go to Japan I always visit Kinokuniya. They have excellent stores in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Kyoto, as well as many other cities. My favourite thing about visiting Sydney is going to Kinokuniya. I had such a wonderful morning chatting with @christinenewellwriter about her beautiful memoir, Five Seasons in Seoul at the Belgrave Library on Saturday. It was such a treat to ask Christine questions about her travels, and to acknowledge the similarities of our passions for another culture and Eastern philosophies. Happy Birthday to this guy who would have turned 58 today. Next weekend I will be in conversation with my gorgeous friend, the ever lovely @christinenewellwriter ❤️ We’ve moved, so my Blythe dolls moved with us. They needed an extension, so I’ve completed the first room renovation.
