You know you’re a writer when you find part of a cow bone just sitting on the beach and you’re like “Awesome! Now I can describe bone spears better!” and you really want to tell your dad and younger sister about how it relates to your novel but you’d have to explain too much and you’d get some judgmental looks from the sister so you just suffer in…[Read more]

Quick question–once our guild’s sample scenes are finished, will they be posted on this thread or somewhere else? I’m excited to see them and I’m happy to help out with ideas or grammar editing if anyone needs that!

@gabriellepollack Thank you!

Hey y’all! Sorry I’ve been dormant for a bit—I’ve been at camp 🙂

I’m Laurel and I’m from Dallas, Texas. I’ve been working on a novel about three kids lost in the woods for a couple of years now.

I’m super excited to get to know y’all and learn more about writing together!

(and thanks for the warm welcome—I really appreciate it!)
