Tip of the day

A draft is less daunting than a blank page. If inspiration isn't at hand, simply start writing (including notes or longhand) to get the creative juices flowing 😍

Writing tips: Villains!

A villain's heart often has a soft side. Figure out why another character might love them, what makes them human (if they are indeed human).
