edit my book with me | series character arcs, brainstorming, taking a social media break | a vlog

Thanks for the book recommendation. I just ordered it from my library app, I'm number 6 in line!! I love books on writing. I'm currently reading "Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow" by Steve Almond. It's a DIY manual on the construction of stories, so far I'm learning a lot. I need to learn how to tell a good story lol. Have you ever read "1000 words" by Jami Attenberg? It is very inspiring! Super sweet book for writers.

@@AdrenaMonic I haven’t read it but I’ll see if I can grab it from the library! Thank you :)

Such a good vlog ❤

finally a fellow writer reads my favourite book about writing... and life ;)

[@76kilosofshade81]

I should probably take a SM break too...after all, I have over 350K words to revise (3 books) next year. LOL.

[@KaylaKempers]

yeah that was kinda my deciding factor; the realization that I have a poetry collection and duology to finish and I could really use those extra hours in a day 😅

@@KaylaKempers I just went through the HB90 system which was very illuminating into my daily work periods vs productivity. I'm hoping that once I'm over the holiday hump (this week) I'll get more focused now that I"m tracking better. 😁 I have big goals and they need time/energy/effort.

I don't know how it happened so quick, but Bird by Bird was ready for me today. I just finished the introduction and absolutely love it. I really enjoy reading about how other writers feel about writing. I love writing so much and wonder if other writers feel the same as I do. I've taken so many notes just from the introduction alone because a lot of what she's saying resonates with me. And I love how she's able to interweave it with her life story. I came back here to say, Thank you for the book rec. I actually just ordered it from amazon too because I want the hard copy so I can underline in it.
