The Ruminative Rambles of Writers
Welcome to Linderson Creations! Home to aspiring authors Ashley Lindsay and Sarah Anderson.
Here on our blog you can stay updated with our weekly happenings, and learn more about our writing process and current projects. We publish to the blog every Monday, or rather, every Tuesday for those of you who live in futuristic timezones such as New Zealand and Australia.
We now also have a podcast, Dear Writer, which publishes once weekly. For some lively banter about the journey of two (slightly nerdy) rookie novelists, tune in here.
It’s All Greek to Me
Yes, yes. I know that temple isn't Greek, but Roman. Yet, it's a beautiful example of the kind of ancient history I've been quagmired in.

You only get one chance to grab a reader and drag them into your story—make them so intrigued they can’t help but read on.
Big, Big Plans
Each novel we’ve done has its own special folder on my computer. Inside that, there’s a mixture of research articles.
Road Map of a New Novel
Every novel begins with a spark—an idea that will be the foundation for the entire story.
Auspicious Beginnings
I have a confession to make. I’m trying to write a book all on my lonesome. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean Ashley and I are stopping collaborating, definitely not!
Light at the end of the Tunnel
The end of editing Darkness, Set us Free is close. So close, I can taste the freedom around the corner.
As Natural as Breathing
I finally finished editing The Price of Pandemonium. And I have to say, I am relieved to be out on the other side, and looking forward to actually creating again.
Woe is Editing
What’s your favorite part of writing a novel? Maybe it’s the plotting and researching. Perhaps it’s getting stuck in and putting words on the page.
Fact or Fiction?
Trouble never comes alone. That’s what they say. So how is this relevant to editing a book?
