Hi, Guys! So I am helping a friend of mine edit a short story. But the problem is, I don’t really know how to help edit. I mean, I think I know the basics, but I don’t want to critique too much. Any tips?

I have some characters I’d like to have drawn. They’re all from my WIP set in the mountains of Kentucky during the 1930’s.

Charlotte; she’s about 18, she has green eyes and light brown hair that goes down to about the middle of her back, and she sometimes wears it in a loose braid. And she usually wears a plain white short sleeved shirt with…[Read more]

Character introductions are very important in a book. What kinds of things do we need to remember when we are working on the beginning of our WIPs? K.M. Weiland has a few in her book, Structuring Your Novel that I’m going to share with you today.

Does anyone use this? What do you think of the website?

Tagging a few artists I know of; @the-fledgling-artist @dekreel

Just wondering because I recently rejoined (used to have an account a long time ago), but the environment is… iffy at best. I’m just wondering what the rest of your artists think about it, if you have one at all.
