The very first piece of advice any new story writer needs
Write the story. What happens in the story? Write that down. It doesn’t have to be a certain number of pages or words. The pages are there to hold the content; the content is not there to fill the pages. Write the beginning, the middle, and the end. It doesn’t matter how long it is. […]

The Book I Wish I had Read Earlier
I recently read The Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis for the first time. It’s about why pain is necessary to Christianity, and it really changed my mindset. I now ask why someone didn’t tell me to read it years ago, because it could have helped me so much. If you are reading this, this […]

November Reading Review
Defy Me and Imagine Me—Tahereh Mafi These are the last two books in the Shatter Me series, so I’m finally finished with that. All in all, it was a good series, and I enjoyed it. I enjoy most books, though, so that’s not saying a whole lot. One thing I didn’t like about the series […]
