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

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.

With exceptionally good timing (or a little witchy magic @annefreemanwrites) Kyoto National Museum currently and incidentally has its largest Tale of Genji exhibition in over fifty years. This is one of the books I’m currently writing about and I was beside myself to see many 800-900 year old handwritten copies of it, as well as screens, fans, and many scrolls. Research…so much to take in and try to commit to memory. I’m writing down as much sensory information as I can. It’s overwhelming, but in a good way. On every trip to Japan @maskedman01 and I intend to visit Kawai Kanjiro’s home. It is literally around the corner from where we stay, less than five minutes walk. Some of my dolls, for context ❤️ Did you know I’m a collector? I have several serious collections. One is Blythe Dolls. We found our dream house in Tokyo. Sadly it’s in a museum, but is perfectly furnished and just out style 😜 @maskedman01 #tatemonoentokyo #edotokyooutdoormuseum #tokyo #japanmidcentury #japandi Nine years ago, Stu and I bought a house. It became the home we blended our families together in, and in which we had many great times. We finally sold our Ferny Creek house to a lovely local family who are excited to be custodians of the forest ❤️ As a fellow ADHDer I completely understand how this happened, but it made me laugh when I got home @sallyhepworth and realised you started signing my book today, but only wrote my name and not yours 🤣🤣🤣
