On Your Marks, Get Set….Go-NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo starts on Friday. Who’s taking part this year? I’m so, so tempted to tackle it because I have a story brewing in my head but I know what with teaching and planning upcoming classes, I’m not going to have time. Good luck to everyone who’s going to do it. Remember you’re a winner just…
What Should You Write and What Should You Avoid?
Today, I thought I’d share with you a process I go through when I’m in writing coach mode. My first question to a client is what type of book are you planning to write and in a couple of sentences, tell me about its plot. I’m hearing more of the same thing and as…
