OK, confession time: I’ve been looking forward to covering this theme for a while. 😉 And while revenge is typically considered a literary masterplot, such stories can highlight intriguing insights into what happens when someone seeks vengeance for a perceived wrong. So, with the help of a classic revenge novel (Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights) and a recent spin on superheroes (V.E. Schwab’s Vicious), I explored the theme in my latest post at DIY MFA. Which storytelling elements do these stories use to shed light on this dark, complex theme? You’ll have to read on to find out!

Looking for Suggestions for Next Month’s Blogoversary
I can’t believe this blog will turn 10 years old in July. 😮 And while I’d love to have a massive multi-post bash to celebrate, I think I’ll stick with something more manageable. So, what would YOU like to see for this year’s blogoversary? Another book giveaway, like I’ve done before? (Maybe even TWO book giveaways?) Or something else? In past years, I’ve done a character interview, had readers interview me, and offered blogging tips based on my own experience. Let me know what you think in your comments!

Hmm…maybe share your top ten writing advice that are dear to you/helped you the most/picked up over the years.

Actually, you’ll get an update on all writing related things in a couple weeks, when the next Creativity Corner posts. So you’ll find out how the WIP is coming along soon. 😉
Oh boy, so far everyone has suggested something different. XD

Ah, but for a tenth anniversary, couldn’t we have a WEEK of celebratory posts, including everyone’s suggestions??

Sadly I don’t have enough time to get a week’s worth of posts ready for early July… And given that I’m just getting around to asking now, we might be celebrating the blogoversary later than usual. XD But maybe there could be a blogoversary month, with one celebration post per week in August or September, depending on when they’re ready?

10 years! Wow – congrats! I think it would be really cool to read a post about how blogging has changed over the course of a decade. I’ve only been doing it since 2015 and can see some differences even in that short period, so it’d be interesting to hear your perspective on a longer time frame.

Thanks, Nicole. The only thing is, I actually miscalculated the number of years and was off by one year. This year will be #9. (*blushes*)
Thanks for stopping by the blog, by the way!

Ummm… actually, I realized a couple days ago that I miscalculated. It will be 9 years, not 10 years. Oops. XD

Congrats on 9 years Sara!
I’m always up for a book giveaway, and two would be even better, so that’s my vote. ^_^

Thank you, E.! 🙂
I actually finished drafting the blogoversary yesterday. We’re going to take a break from giveaways this year. But since next year will be the 10th birthday, maybe…. ;))

*Blogoversary post. (Forgot a word there.) I guess that’s what happens when you’re rushing to reply to as many comments as possible before logging off for the night…
