3 Ways to Motivate Yourself to Write
I love writing, I swear I do. But then why do I find myself, more often than not, doing anything but writing? It isn’t even that I’m stuck, because the muse seems to be interested in my work in progress and I have no shortage of ideas. It’s just that I don’t want to write. And I know I have to, because if one day I want to make a living out of it, then I’ll have to write a lot more than what I currently do and can’t always procrastinate.
Genuinely not having time to write is another thing,...

What Do You Think About Crude Books?
I don’t mean books that have lots of blood and gore, or at least, not only those. I mean books that depict life at its most realistic points, sometimes, so realistic it borders on exaggeration. But it’s not. It’s just life.

Introducing From Idea to Story: Outlining but without the pressure
This post was actually long overdue, and I’m so sorry about that. It’s just been so crazy with college and my fundraising activities :/
Anyway!
You may or may not have noticed here at Reverie Society, we have a free email course! Yay! I’d dabbled in giving some freebies here and there before, sure. But I’ve always wanted a set thing I could give away and help my readers in some way since I love you guys so much.
When having an idea for a story, you’ve probably experienced something like...

How to Spot and Deal with the Dear Toxic People in your Life
Those little punks. You know who I’m talking about, right?
People who are around you very often, you love them, but you also kind of hate them. I’m not talking about the regular toxic people you can get rid off. I’m talking about friends, family, with behaviors that are just toxic.
I lived through two of these kind of people. The first time, this person actually got rid of me, lol. I had this friend, who was everything I wanted to be. She had perfect eyebrows, was really smart, had a pool...

Why Trying to Be Too Organized May Actually Be Having the Opposite Effect
In economics we have this thing called diminishing returns. The encylopedia britannica defines it as:
An economic law stating that if one input in the production of a commodity is increased while all other inputs are held fixed, a point will eventually be reached at which additions of the input yield progressively smaller, or diminishing, increases in output.
What this means is that at a bakery for example, more people baking bread will result in more bread being made, right? But at one po...

How to Use Reading to Understand your Introversion
It’s funny how when you’re in the middle of something, you don’t really notice the signs the universe gives you. I used to think I was doomed to an unhappy corporate job, because I didn’t know what I wanted, and I wasn’t passionate about anything. Now, looking back, it seems pretty obvious that I was always meant to write. I’m not sure yet how that’s going to go professionally, but it all definitely led to me at least trying.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. I never even gave a thought to w...

The Single Most Important Reason Why You Should Care About Your Public Speaking Skills
Struggles with public speaking aren’t particular to introverts. More outgoing and social people get the shakes too when they think about standing in front of a group of people to present their ideas. The nightmare of every kid at school, and the goal of most professionals.
A lot of people at school got nervous because of their lack of preparation for the presentation. For me, what I was going to say was never the problem. I mean yes, I got worried when I felt I wasn’t ready but the worst wa...
