    Blocked for the Weekend

    Happy Tuesday! Hoping this week is more productive then the last weekend. Maybe it’s the summer weather or that my family is on a beach and I’m not but this last weekend writers block hit hard.

    Written Scenes Too Much Too Little?

    Hello! Hope you all are having an excellent start to the week.

    One thing I run into a lot when researching and building is using a writer’s journal or notebook to organize thoughts. Developing my stories right now. I’m building and writing many different materials and tossing them out the windows. As much as I love handwriting and using folders, it’s much easier to create a lot…
