Guess what? I’m on vacation! Since my trip to DC and the Library of Congress was cancelled earlier this year (which would’ve been an amazing trip, by the way), my family and I have decided to visit a town much closer to home for my birthday week. Call me crazy if you like, but I’veContinue reading “Ten Days // Ten Books”

September Bookviews // Queens, Brides and New Releases, Please!
2020 is The Lost Year. July didn’t even register in my mind until it was August, so I missed that Bookviews post. I bet any money (below five bucks) that we’re going to see an uptick in doomsday books come out within the next couple of years. Regardless, let’s take a look at my BookviewsContinue reading “September Bookviews // Queens, Brides and New Releases, Please!”
The Character Arcs in Star Trek Deep Space Nine
With all this new Star Trek coming out (Picard, Discovery, Lower Decks), I thought it high time to revive a blog series I’d forgotten about. Earlier this year, I analyzed the cast of Star Trek Voyager and assigned each member of the main crew their arc. Today, I’m going to take a look at theContinue reading “The Character Arcs in Star Trek Deep Space Nine”
The Gilded Conspiracy // Prologue and Part One Now Live
Evenin’ all! I hope you’re having a great start to your weekend. Does it feel like Autumn where you are? It’s certainly beginning to here in Pennsylvania and I can’t wait for my birthday weekend trip to Johnstown in September. If you didn’t already know, I recently launched a new website for short stories. It’sContinue reading “The Gilded Conspiracy // Prologue and Part One Now Live”
What I Bought From the Kawaii Pen Shop.
A couple of months ago I put up a post titled Seven Online Stationary Shops I Need to Buy From ASAP. The lessons learned during this particular experience were many, though it should’ve been a simpler process. Before we get into all that, let’s take a look at what I purchased. I had a difficultContinue reading “What I Bought From the Kawaii Pen Shop.”
What I Watch When I’m Not Writing.
The answer: very little, in fact. Way back in April, at the very beginning of all things pandemic and everyone else was binging their entire Netflix list, I conducted a month long experiment and unplugged my television. For science. Five months later it’s still unplugged, and I haven’t seen a single political ad this wholeContinue reading “What I Watch When I’m Not Writing.”
August Bookviews // Islands, Recipes and Devil Fires Indeed
Well, it looks like I completely forgot to do Bookviews for July. July didn’t even register in my mind until it was August. The number of books I read also dropped dramatically, but more writing’s happened and that’s taken priority. I’d still like to share my Bookviews for August 2020! (Here’s the Bookview post forContinue reading “August Bookviews // Islands, Recipes and Devil Fires Indeed”
Announcement // A New Site For Short Stories
Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to take a moment to put up a quick announcement for an exciting new venture I began earlier this evening. For a long while now I’ve wanted to share some short stories with you. The last time I tried to write such things was two years ago and IContinue reading “Announcement // A New Site For Short Stories”
I Created Pinterest Boards for my Characters.
They say many things are best left to the imagination. While that’s, for the most part, a true statement, sometimes creating visuals can help your writing process. That’s why so many writers create those grids and aesthetics that still pop up on Twitter from time to time. I’ve got about twenty on this Pinterest boardContinue reading “I Created Pinterest Boards for my Characters.”
A Comparative Review of CRAFT COMPLEX CHARACTERS for Golden May Editing
“We don’t read action scenes for the action. We read to see how hard a character will fight for what they desire most.” If you’ve never been to AnotherHartmanAuthor before, then hi! My name is Leigh Hartman. I’m in the fourth year of my writing journey with an intense interest in Pennsylvania history. I realizeContinue reading “A Comparative Review of CRAFT COMPLEX CHARACTERS for Golden May Editing”
