Thought I’d would do a quick update. First, good news is that as of this very moment I have 19300 words written. Bad news is, that apparently I have 700 words to go before I am actually caught up, though I am certain I can do it. (Not to mention that pasting my novel into [...]

Type “WANT TO” beside the ones you’d like [...]

Recently I came across an interesting concept that I feel like I should pass along to other writer’s. It’s known as Book 100. After you have selected the type of book that you want to write, (how-to, romance novel, children’s book, young adult, sci-fi) read 100 books in that selected genre.
I learned about this in Chapter [...]
