You never make art alone.

In today's quick writing tip, let's talk about one of the ways to make the mundane into something tremendous by creating steps of difficulty rather than the normal progression. Is this a useful tool? Sometimes. Is this also a tool you can badly misuse? Sometimes.

It's time to talk all things romance. Whether you're crafting a romance novel or just a subplot, these are the things you need to know in order to get the most of your characters and give the best you can to your reader.

It's Friday the 13th. I thought I could try the Chat on a different day and that would make a difference in some substantial good way. It ... well, it didn't entirely set the world on fire like I hoped, but all the same is was good to answer questions and get people the help they need.

The start of a new series! Let's make your second draft into something remarkable. Tonight, we start by looking at all things plots and arcs. Learn about how to organize plots, what they need, when you can cut scenes, when you may need to bolster things, and how to identify themes. This one gets a little crunchy, so feel free to take some notes.

Oh man, this writers chat is great. Coming off a short covid-plague-headcold hiatus, this chat covers a load of things like descriptions and believing in yourself and adverbs. Lots of GREAT info here. Hope you love it.

Grab your tea and Werthers Originals, I've got a cold, but that's not going to stop me from answering questions about anthologies, second drafts, beats, and subplots.
