This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 322 episode and the Helping Writers Become Authors Podcast.

Merry Christmas everyone I hope you're having a wonderful and blessed season.

I am totally not a traditional or sentimental person in general, but I

admitted I love Christmas and in the wake of the book launch frenzy for storming,

I feel like I've barely been out of the house

for the last two and a half months.

I've been more or less taking it easy

in between the first of the month and Christmas.

We've got some odds and ends to take care of and tie up before we dive into the new year.

In particularly exciting news for me, I've also finally completed the first draft of my historical superhero work in progress,

Wayfarer. Yay! This book has been a huge journey and challenge so it was awesome

to actually finish it a few weeks before my end of the year deadline.

Now I'm just going to let it sit for a couple of weeks until after Christmas, but we're going to town

on the editing.

The latest post on my blog is Top Writing Post in 2015. So be sure to stop by and

check out the top 10 posts from my site this year just in case you missed any

of them.

If I find the post visit my site at helping writers become authors.com.

And now I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast entitled Coincidences in Fiction, what you're doing wrong.

Coincidences are awesome in real life,

but coincidences in fiction, unfortunately the same rules don't apply. In fact, a poor use of coincidences in your story

can make or break your reader's ability to suspend their disbelief and enjoy your plot.
