  • Whoops it’s Friday Already?

    Have have those weeks where you blink and it’s Friday? That was my week so please enjoy this gif for a post that might be an accurate portrayal of how my writing has gone this week.

  • Written Scenes Too Much Too Little?

    Written Scenes Too Much Too Little?

    Hello! Hope you all are having an excellent start to the week. Going through Klytië’s manuscript, I realized in all the rewrites, I added and removed details for various plot points that don’t actually mean anything. I have little scenes within larger scenes and go from extensive descriptions to barely any. There are some sections…

    Grammar Friendly Foe?

    To be entirely honest, I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with grammar. I love it in that it really helps clarify what is being said or written.
