Resources for New & Aspiring Writers

Writing is not for the faint of heart. Some writers sit down, and the words come easily. Others may bang their head against their computer because the jumbled world and characters in their minds simply won’t form a cohesive storyline. Both of these are totally okay and, guess what, NORMAL!

Just because you don’t fully plot your novels, or even if you plot and plot but still go off the rails, your writing process is unique to you, and that doesn’t mean you can’t still accomplish your goals of completing and publishing a novel!

There are a ton of wonderful resources available to you to help you find the right path in writing for your unique writing style. Come join the community!
