I go back to this "productivity triangle" again and again - not because I'm trying to write 10k words a day (not even close) but because my writing is better when I get these elements into place.

I'm reading Sol Stein's STEIN ON WRITING, and I just came across his "secret snapshot" exercise: imagine a snapshot of something from your life that's so private and personal that you wouldn't carry it in your wallet for fear a paramedic or a police officer or a family member would find it...

I love this article by September C. Fawkes. Even if (especially if?) you're not a plotter, it's a fantastic explanation of how to advance and progress a plot: www.septembercfawkes.com/2025/08/goal...
Goals: the REAL Framework of Plot
It's by changing & evolving the protagonist's goal that you truly progress the plot, not by how much or how little conflict you have.

Overexplaining in fiction is one of those things that makes me put down a book almost immediately. This article does a great job of showing one way it can happen and how to avoid it: www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/overexplaini...

Improve your writing by addressing overexplaining in dialogue. Keep readers engaged through concise and smart dialogue techniques.

I know a lot of writers who dread writing sales copy (or what people insist on calling blurbs). I found this article really helpful - blog.janicehardy.com/2016/04/crea...

It's not 100% what I do, but it's a great framework if you're having trouble.
