You either show upContinue reading “The Writer’s Experience”

This Is The Fun Part
“The writing process for me is pretty much always the same – it’s a solitary experience.” -Sheryl Crow What’s wild about this quote is that the solitary part of the process may not change, but it’s also not getting old. Even after all these years, there are so many new things for me to learn.Continue reading “This Is The Fun Part”
The Writing Process
“No need to force yourself to do something the “right way” if it’s not your right way. Your job is to honor your process.” —Andi Cumbo When it comes to the entire process of being a writer, there’s a lot I’m still learning about my own process.
