Writing is tough, being a writer is tougher. Here at Alive and Writing, we take a closer look at all the challenges you will face as an author including issues with mental health, time management, professionalism, and more.

 

What do sewing, juggling, and fountain pens have in common? Believe it or not, they’re more similar than a raven and a writing desk! Chautona sews, Clark juggles, and April collects (and uses) fountain pens. That’s write right, folks, it’s hobby week at Alive and Writing. We’re chatting about our current – and past – hobbies, why we need them, and where to find them.
