I think you will find it helpful. It was written for Maddie.

Letting others see our work is probably one of the hardest parts of being a writer. That’s our heart and soul out there at the mercy of prying eyes.

It’s probably one of the most essential parts of writing tho…[Read more]

We can brainstorm this week and then start writing it. The final product needs to be ready by June 30th.

Here is the prompt: Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.

Okay so all of you have gone through the phase where writing isn’t “fun” anymore, right? It’s not necessarily that you’re stuck or that you don’t have a good idea or that your book isn’t going well… it’s just that given the choice to curl up…[Read more]

We are talking about traditional vs. self-publishing.

I think it’s safe to say that most writers have a ‘one day’ dream of getting published: having your book on the shelves of total strangers and sharing your story with the world.

Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:

Pros:

Typing is faster.

Typing is much easier to edit and clean your prose as you go along.

Cons:
