Writing Schemes and Publishing Dreams

In this episode of Writing Schemes, we break down what "author voice" actually means and why it can feel so difficult to identify. We talk about writing authentically, developing a style that feels natural, avoiding the pressure to sound like other writers, and figuring out what makes your writing uniquely yours.

This is a quick one for those trying to affiliate themselves with the writing word and terms. There's First, Second, Third points of view and many other perspectives in between.

Life has a way of taking precedence over writing. This episode discusses our methods and other methods to get back to writing. You'vegot this!

In this episode of Writing Schemes, we talk about what makes a good critique group, how to find the right writers for your group, and the difference between helpful feedback and feedback that can do more harm than good. We also discuss how to give useful critiques, how to receive criticism without losing confidence in your work, and when it's time to move on from a group that isn't the right fit.
