The following are my thoughts and questions I'm working through with a new project: The other day I went to a bookstore because I felt like I needed some inspiration and to check out what other people are writing in the YA genre. I don't know why, but it seemed to do exactly what I… Continue reading WIP: Rewriting a script into a novel

It's been awhile since I've done a WIP Talk and that's probably because I haven't really been writing my WIP! Whoops!

I also recently read this article written by C.S.… Continue reading WIP Talk: Small Details
