How and when to use summary and scene in fiction writing.

Summary and Scene in Fiction Writing: How and Why to Use them Both

in Writing, YA & MG Posts on 04/28/19

I haven’t written any new posts lately because I’ve been consumed with two other creative projects. The first is the project of creating a new human.  Yes, I’m having a second child!  And for the first ten weeks of this pregnancy I was exhausted and constantly nauseated, and I spent my writing time napping instead.  Once the nausea and exhaustion passed,… View Post

7 game-changing revision tips to help you have an a-ha moment with your manuscript and make story-level changes that improve your overall novel

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.

How to start your own writing group and make it successful.

How to Start Your Own Writing Group

in Writing on 01/05/19

I’ve been in many a writing group – some helpful, some not so much. One of my best experiences was with a group I started myself. It’s more work, but when you start your own group it can be exactly what you want and need it to be.  In my case, I wanted a group of other YA/MG writers who were… View Post
