Character development part 2 is here! Last Character Development post, I talked about how it is important to give your characters flaws. This time I’d like to discuss something new.

My Weekend Isn’t Over Yet
I still have one more day to sleep in and enjoy the day as I please. This four day has brought me so much inspiration for my writing. Went down memory lane quite a bit. I can’t believe I’ve been writing for 10 years now. I have been so many places and met so manyContinue reading “My Weekend Isn’t Over Yet”
Ergonomics
Since covid, I started writing in bed and I’m starting to feel it. I’m going to have to figure out how I can get my writing done while sitting in a better place that has very little distraction.

A Good Writing Session
Something about a good writing session that feels better than most other things in life. I like feeling productive and moving forward in this journey.

Let me tell you how itContinue reading “I Got a Creative Spark Today”
Dear Author
A letter from your characters Dear author, I am a living breathing human being. I’m not your show horse! I need thoughts and some external stimulation. I need you to give me something to solve or avoid solving by solving something else until I realize the true importance of what I was supposed to beContinue reading “Dear Author”
A Writing Woman’s Space
Inspired Virginia Woolf’s “A room of her own.” What genius and integrity it is for female writers today to write with all the criticism they receive, not just from men but also from other women. Not just about writing but for the way they choose to live. We as women are expected to follow suitContinue reading “A Writing Woman’s Space”
