I had planned on labeling my flashback scenes/chapters so the reader knew when they took place, but something tells me “Andante 38th, 454” and “Chiaroscuro 3rd, 460” are probably not much of a help unless people don’t mind indexes or explan...

Hello there, anon! First– I think it’s great that you’ve committed to writing a story. It’s a huge effort and it’s also very, very normal as the writer to think that your own work is garbage. We are all our very own worst critics. First drafts are hard, but I definitely want to encourage you to keep going. You can do it, you can finish it! Because only you can tell that story that’s in your head, and then share it with the world.
The editing process is what you go through to turn your first dr...

Hey! :) What was the first scene you wrote for Seven Tears at High Tide? Which character did you create first, Morgan or Kevin?
Hello!
The first scene I wrote for Seven Tears At High Tide would have to be heartbroken Kevin on the pier, making his desperate wish.
