Writing & Editing

I wrote some software for Discovery Writers & Pantsers, but plotters will like it too. It's part scene map .. part book bible. Helps you finish books after you write them and before. Need author feedback to make it better. Free beta copies for feedback. Request here. #amwriting

"As an author, find the place inside you where the story is, where nothing is impossible. And write from there. The challenge is finding that place each time. The only way I know of, is to keep trying, to keep writing, to find the right story."-Wrtr #amwriting Be #Writing #writer

Being an author: “My characters live in my mind… I can see them and hear them much more clearly than most people…It never occurs to me that they don’t exist.” - John Creasey #amwriting ... #Writing Characters #author #writer
