Taylor Clogston started the topic Conflict and the End of Fiction in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 7 months ago
Many moon ago, I told Josiah that I’d write about the idea that conflict is not the most fundamental aspect of good story… You know, that thing every good writer accepts as basic fact!
I’ve finally published that essay, and you can read it for free right here.

I’m honoured that you’d ask me! However, I don’t have the time to beta read at the moment, as I’m fully booked out with editing for clients. 🙈 All the best for your editing though!

@jane-maree That’s totally fine! I figured several of you that I tagged would be too busy. ๐ Thank you, and I hope your editing goes well too. ๐

That’s so cool! Yes, I’d love to beta read for you! ๐ I’m so honored that you asked me <3 I don't know if I have your email, so I guess you can contact me through my website. ๐

Epic!! Thank you so much!

Oooh, thanks for asking me! 😃 Iโd love to beta read it! I canโt start it till January 4th though and I probably wonโt be able to finish till Marchish. 🙂 I donโt have your email, so youโll need to use my blog contact button.

Yay!! <3 And don't worry too much about the timing. ๐ Aprilish is fine too. <333

@mariposa @jenwriter17 @r-m-archer For all ya’ll who requested a google doc, would you all be comfortable sharing one doc? If you’d like a separate one, I can definitely arrange that, though the consolidation of google documents would be good too. XD ๐ Just lemme know.

Yes, that’s fine. ๐

Yes, that’s fine with me too. ๐

But now, an enemy has swept in with fresh blank pages.
WHO WILL STOP HIM? ARE YOU WITH ME?
TO WAR!

Hi guys,
I’m looking to ramp up a writing coaching program, and before I do I want to do some beta testing to get the kinks worked out and get some reviews.
So I’m opening up three coaching slots. It’ll be a discounted price, since you’ll be doing me a service by signing up. I’m looking for 1-3 people to fill these three packages:
