I’m just typing away. The story is flowing and I’m in a fantastic mood, but danger lies ahead within the next few pages. I write a scene, but there is nowhere to go? Like literally I don’t know what to do to move it along. What do I do? Have you experienced this? I knowContinue reading “In a corner”

How to keep writing
My writing class has been over for about a month. It was pretty intense. There were deadlines, brain fog, temper tantrums, and frustration. Is it just me or is it pretty upsetting when you have high hopes for a story and then it just crashes and burns on you. It ends up being a storyContinue reading “How to keep writing”
Why writing friends are a must!
Those that write together, stay together! At least that’s what I think. It’s always great when you have a few writing friends that get you and understand what you are trying to create. We need that! It helps foster a sense of safety while your stories may be at their infancy stage; nothing more thanContinue reading “Why writing friends are a must!”
Getting Better at Writing!
I am at the end of my 16-week writers class and I have to say, I’m a little sad. I’ve really enjoyed my time with the instructor and the seven other students.

What if they don’t like it?
Anytime we try something new, it can be extremely nerve-racking. Numerous questions start to plague you- Am I doing it right? Could it be better? Are people even going to like it? Personally, when I started writing, those were and still are the thoughts and questions that I have. I don’t have a background inContinue reading “What if they don’t like it?”
What the…Block?
It happened. Every writers worst nightmare! I was trudging along trying to write my short story, when it occurred. I couldn’t think anymore, my character was stuck in front of a building. Where do I go from here? Where? Where?! I tried writing other scenes and then came back to it. Nothing! Not even aContinue reading “What the…Block?”
Critical Much?
Are you super critical about your work? I am. As a self professed perfectionist, sometimes I can get in my own way. Does the same thing happen to you? I don’t mean to, but on occasion I can overthink whatever I’m doing and then get frustrated because I think I’m doing it entirely wrong. ThisContinue reading “Critical Much?”
Writing your story
I love to write. It’s a nice way to just escape life and create your own characters and see how they do in certain situations. Sometimes what I write really surprises me. It really does. I’m always wondering how did I come up with this? Is anybody else surprised too with their writing? When IContinue reading “Writing your story”
