Current read.

If you’re into animal companions, classic feel fantasy, chosen-one tropes, betrayals, and characters who think they’re on the right side while actually fighting against it, then this book might just be your next favourite read.

What is a trait in your main character that they believe is bad but is actually valuable?

Don't assume what works for one writer will work for you. Everyone is different. Do what is best for YOU.

I love this quote from Toni Morrison. If there is a book you want to read but it hasn't been written yet, YOU must be the one to write it. I can honestly say...these are ALL my books. What about you? If you're a writer do you write the book you want to read? #writer #writers #tonimorrison

Focus on a vital few tasks. Identify the most important ones to you, and eliminate what is not needed or urgent. The goal is to make them manageble, not to achieve perfection or overwhelm yourself.

Have a great writing day, everyone.

Immersed in my creative zone this morning. Pruning and keeping in harmony with WIP.

Be astonished and write what intrigues. May the week be filled with good moments and bold storytelling

When I first set out to help people through writing, I was searching for a new way to reach those who were quietly carrying their own ache....

Late-night November #writers
It’s quiet, the word count is stubborn, and the finish line feels far. That’s okay. You’re still here, still fighting for your story. Every tired sentence you write right now is proof you haven’t quit, and we haven’t quit on you.

The #WIPSnips word for November 23rd is "global"

And let me just take a moment to say that I love how global our little community is here!

The capacity to transform tragedy into purpose is an exceptional skill. You’re a remarkable person who’s navigated immense difficulties and emerged stronger. And your work can inspire profound meaning.

WRITE what matters to you. What MOVES you, fascinates you, pulls you in. Write what sparks your
anger and touches your
sorrow.
