Why I Write

Posted on October 19, 2017February 13, 2025 by R.M. Archer

I write for my readers. I write to make them feel. I write to make them connect with my characters to the same extent that I have, to make them care about fictional people as much as other authors have made me connect with their fictional people. When I get to see those reactions – their laughter or screaming or crying – it tells me that I’ve done a good job and I’ve done what I intended to do.

The Leibster Blog Award

Posted on October 9, 2017March 18, 2021 by R.M. Archer

I was just nominated for the Leibster Award by Kaylan over at No Two Paths. Her blog name was inspired by Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken,” and specifically these lines:

That’s really cool.

Thanks for the nomination, Kaylan!
