Why writing shorter pieces brings big success

December 29, 2021December 29, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

As a writer, publishing a finished piece of work is the ultimate goal. A feeling of ecstasy and accomplishment. It’s an intrinsic sensation of achievement unlike any other emotion you’ll experience in your writing journey.

When it feels like failure

December 6, 2021December 6, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

I’m really good at telling other people to give themselves grace. I’ve done so many things that mean so much more than a clean kitchen does. I know that. I understand that. There is a moment, though, where I’ve done a thousand things, but the one thing I ignored just stares me in the face and reminds me that I do not, in fact, have it together.

For the Writer Who Isn’t Writing

December 3, 2021December 3, 2021 by Kathryn Tamburri

I took more than two years off writing around the time I met my husband. As writers, we have busy seasons. Sometimes, we have to shuffle priorities.

I have five minutes to write this…

December 1, 2021December 1, 2021 by Emmy Seal

As a new author who is trying to write a novel, work a regular job, and be a loving wife and mom, I have a lot of balls in the air. Trying to keep it all together can feel overwhelming and–please don’t eat your sister’s socks.  The best advice I can give is to fit…

For the sake of this article, I’ll assume you’ve heard of NaNoWriMo, the mad dash to write a 50,000-word novel in November. If you haven’t, click here to check it out. If you have, and you’re participating this year, how are you doing? Are you on track? Have you fallen behind and lost hope of…

The Done List: Recording your wins

October 9, 2021December 10, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Honestly, a lot of times, the Done List looks different than my mental To Do list that I had in the morning, but that’s okay. As a result, I put words on paper, stop the self flagellation (okay, at least mitigate it a bit), and appreciate the addition to my day.

It has taken me weeks to finally write this blog post or to work on any of my WIPs. Why do you ask? Well, my friends, I have come to the point in my writing journey where I have experienced my first writing rut. Basically, the hell on earth for writers, or so it may…

Other authors are not your competition!

August 10, 2021August 10, 2021 by Storm Shultz

Something that I see a lot in online groups (mostly Facebook) is someone saying “I just found out that my book is almost the same as this book/movie! What do I do?” And I’m here to tell you…nothing. Stay your course Just keep doing what you were doing before. Because here’s the thing…you’re going to…

My first experience with an editor

July 21, 2021July 20, 2021 by Shell Sherwood

The day had come! It was finally that time in my writing journey where I was thinking about querying my book. There was just one more step before I was officially ready: hiring a professional editor.

Moms–Your dreams are important too

June 30, 2021June 29, 2021 by Emmy Seal

Moms Who Write don’t just wake up one day and say, Hey…I’m going to be a writer! For most of us, these dreams are seeded almost before we can speak. So why now? Because moms have dreams too– and they are important. I have always had stories running through my head, but it wasn’t until…
