Do you feel stuck or stalled in your writing process?

Check out these 4 tips from book coach June Diehl on how to get the most out of your writing.

If you are looking for more support, June's fall coaching program starts Monday.

#savvyauthorsworkshop #writingcommunity #writerslife #booksky
Your writing voice matters. Lean into your natural storytelling rhythm Don’t let self-doubt or “rules” silence your unique voice. The story doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Draft with intention, revise with courage. Clarity comes through iteration, not hesitation. Deadlines work better when they flex with your process. Together, we’ll build a writing schedule that keeps you motivated. Not overwhelmed. You don’t have to write alone. A supportive mentor can help you untangle plot knots, strengthen your scenes, and stay connected to your goals.

Do you want to write funny?
Here are 4 tips to add funny to your writing from Steve Shrott!

Want to learn more? Steve is teaching his workshop Adding Humor to Novels and Short Stories starting Monday. Don't miss out!
#savvyauthorsworkshop #writingfunny #writingcommunity #writerslife #booksky
Tip 1: Improve your humor writing ability by covering the punchline of a joke or the caption of a cartoon. Then write something that's funny and fits. Tip 2: Before you start writing your novel, create a funny premise that holds the whole story together. Tip 3: Exaggerate! If you have a large dog in your story, make him the size of a horse. If your main character is a slacker, have him be a really big slacker who never gets anything done. Tip 4: Use opposites. Make your timid character interact with the reverse--very dangerous people. Have your nerdy character believe that all the ladies think he's hot.

Hot Take Tuesday!

First Drafts Should Be a Mess—If They’re Not, You’re Holding Back. If you’re editing while drafting, you’re not writing—you’re censoring.

Agree or disagree?
