7 Game-Changing Revision Tips: How to Have an A-Ha Moment with Your Manuscript

in Writing on 03/03/19

Now, when I say revision tips, I don’t mean line-editing for spelling and punctuation.  I don’t mean rewriting sentences and cutting words.

Four reasons why the writing advice "write every day" pisses me off

The Piece of Writing Advice That Really Pisses Me Off

in Writing on 10/09/18
