“Ask the professional best-selling authors and they will tell you it takes perseverance as well as interaction with others to create polished prose. Writing is a task that requires only one individual. Writing excellent work is a task that requires more than one person.”

Guess what? Someone Else has Written your Story
Magdalene G. Jones
You’re unique. Just like everybody else. (Don’t think about that one too hard) // May 14, 2018
“You are never, ever going to come up with a new idea! And that’s fine. Because your idea may not be unique. But you are. No one else can tell your story. Not like you. Now, does that mean you should freely use love triangles, chosen ones, or—God forbid—the prologue?

Nikolai Feinstein

Character Counts: The Emotional Investment
Rhia G. Adley
For all of you who find yourselves more attracted to fictional characters than real humans, here’s why… // April 4, 2018
