Hey there peeps! I’m excited to share the first cool thing coming down the pipeline from Painting Dragon Feathers for 2024—I will be hosting a webinar through the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) talking about how to make a story bible!

“Whether you’re writing a story set in a galaxy far, far away, an enchanted forest, Brooklyn NYC, an ancient dojo, or a far future dystopia, how do you keep track of your characters and worldbuilding? You can make a story bible! A story bible is a tool to help any author organize the aspects of their world-building—the cultures, rules of magic and/or science, weather, politics, ecology, economy, and all other kinds of nitty gritty details, timelines of important plot points and histories, and character interviews and designs—in a handy physical or digital body of reference for when you’re fleshing out your later drafts. In this lecture we will talk about how to make or acquire the right kind of book, what kind of materials to use (no drawing skills required—and if you are an artist, GO NUTS), what kind of information to include and how to organize it depending on the kind of story you are writing, and how to use your bible to add layers of depth to your characters and stories. A Q&A will follow.”

The webinar will be hosted virtually over Zoom February 26th at 7pm EST.

To sign up for the webinar is $15 for Non SCBWI members, $10 for members, and you can find all the info here and registration here--> https://www.scbwi.org/events/book-bibles-with-jd-donnelly

No one make a sudden move, or we might scare away my writing muse which DESCENDED OUT OF THE BLUE LIKE A GODDAMN PTERODACTYL. (In other words, now that I had some time to regroup and recharge after the WPA SCBWI conference, I’ve made rapid progress on outlining a dinosaur-themed story I’ve been chewing on for, like, two years now. Once I get the outline done, I’ll tackle a 1st draft. Dragon Prince and CryptoZoo were both outlined in notecards like this before I wrote their first drafts.) #writer #writing #artist #scbwi #wpascbwi #draft #dinosaur #paintingdragonfeathers
