Writers, let’s talk

What part of writing do you find hardest?

✍️ Starting the story?
📖 Building the plot?
🔍 Revising what you’ve already written?

And what’s one thing you’ve learned about your writing along the way?

I’d love to hear how other writers approach the process.

When the plot twist has you rereading the whole manuscript like… wait, what just happened?

Authors, what’s the wildest plot twist you’ve ever written?

Congrats to Spring Courtwright on publishing Rosemary's Way, a memoir about helping her mom remain in control of her life—and death—after an Alzheimer's diagnosis. This hit home in a way that most edits don't because my dad also had dementia.

#RWLWritingTip Spend time in nature. Take deep breaths. Write using your own, human brain. Write about human experiences, human emotions. Let yourself be inconvenienced. Let your process be inefficient. Let it be hard. Hard is good.

A fresh draft is only the beginning. Sometimes, an outside reader can spot what the author has become too close to see.

I offer honest, thoughtful feedback focused on what’s working, what needs improvement, and what could strengthen the story.
