One of the best decisions I ever made in my writing was deciding to start writing multiple POVs (point of views) within my stories. Especially within my current project. Why was it one of my best decisions? Well, mainly because it’s fun and it also gives me a chance to tell more of the story... Continue Reading →
Character Arcs. The thing that is perhaps almost as important as the plot of your story. If executed well, it can cause your story to stand out among others and can help your characters in amazing ways. A character without an arc is like a plot without structure. It doesn’t work very well and readers... Continue Reading →
If there’s one thing I love writing, it’s internal dialogue. Banter and action is fun, but internal dialogue will always be my favorite.

Descriptions. One of the hardest things to work into your writing without making it seem out of place or too long. I have a love/hate relationship with descriptions. Well, let me correct myself. I used to have a love/hate relationship with descriptions. What do I mean by that? Allow me to explain. Descriptions used to... Continue Reading →

Writing is hard sometimes. Every writer has those moments when they just feel like writing has gotten boring and stressful. But it shouldn’t be that way! More than likely, you began to love writing because it was fun! It was fun to create fictional people and walk alongside them in their journey. Or maybe you... Continue Reading →
