Hello there, dear followers~ ♥︎

As most of you know, I have been running a little show on Youtube called the Virtual Writing Academy, where I offer weekly creative writing exercises and advice.

With a decent webcam I would be able to create better videos.Unfortunately, I don’t have the disposable income at the moment to make such a purchase… So, I’ve decided to do a Boo...

Your writing playlists are really awesome! I might have missed it, but do you have a darker/sad one for writing tragic scenes?

Hello there, writerly friend~♫

Do you have any advice on naming a story that's published by the chapter? I'm writing a story I'm posting online chapter by chapter and I'm stuck on what to name it. All the advice I've read says to wait until the book is finished, but I can't really do th

Hello there, writerly friend~♥︎

I get what you mean, because (really) my advice on titles is pretty much what you just said…

Let’s Talk About Titles (And Then Talk Some More)

Though, that doesn’t mean I can’t give you a few pointers c; Before we begin, though, we need to zoom out and think about what a title is.

"WHAT IS A TITLE?" Max said, in his best Draculavoice.

The purpose of a title is to (a) spark the interest of your reader and (b) to give a glimpse as to what the book will be about. I don...
