World Building
World Building is an essential part of your novel, no matter your genre. In the writing resources below, you’ll learn the basics as well as a few other helpful hints.
Beta Reading
Critique partners and beta readers are the best! In these writing resources, you’ll find out how to work with your squad and how to know what feedback to apply.
If you’ve been wondering what the difference is between the two, I’ve got the answer to that, too.
Character Creation
Your characters are the most important part of your book. In the writing resources on character creation, you’ll find out how to craft intriguing, flawed characters your readers will love.
The first post in this series comes with a free downloadable character questionnaire, so help yourself! 😉
Writing
This is the shortest series I have for you, but it has some important lessons nonetheless. Read on to find out why you need to write your book for you, and why the edit can wait.
Blogging
Your blog is your most important platform, so it’s important to get it right! In the writing resources below, I show you how.
Writer’s Block Burnout
I don’t believe in writer’s block, but writer’s burnout? You don’t mess with burnout. The writing resources below are all about self-care, and how to look after yourself when you’re close to burning out–or after.
