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.

Creative writing can be helpful for you and your readers for processing difficult emotions.

Have you ever written about a character struggling with their mental health?

I’ve noticed how many creators start out passionate about their craft, but then get caught up in pleasing their audience [cont]

Critical thinking is a valuable skill that goes beyond fault-finding or comparison. It involves the analysis and dissection of a story. Writers need guidance to evaluate structure, pace, and character development accurately. These skills are essential for problem-solving. #amwriting #selfcare

It's been a decent couple of months. Just over halfway done.

How are you getting on with your WIP?

Sounds simple, but trust me, limiting your news intake can make a huge difference. Try checking in just once a day for the headlines.

I’ve struggled with negative self-talk for years, and I know how hard it is to overcome. But the truth is, self-criticism isn’t just unhelpful – it’s also cruel and unjust.

New projects are tough, but I'm almost done with draft 2.0 of book 2 of my Sci-Fi series this week. Then, getting started on book 3.

Pretty good week. Things have been better. One chapter to go on my current WIP, and then only one last revision before querying can start. Will be getting started on my self-published series this week.

12,275 more words this week on part 5 of my WIP. Not bad, as it's been a tough one for me personally.

What are you working on?
