The Confident Writer
The Confident Writer Traci Kenworth When I first began to take this journey to write for publication, I still viewed it through the lens of an unsure writer. I lacked discipline, a regular schedule, and knowledge of my craft. I was ready to grow, I just wasn’t sure how. That’s why writing in itself […]
Getting it All Together
Gathering it All Together Traci Kenworth It’s been a busy past couple weeks with the aftermath of recovering from surgery. Now, I’m ready to go back into my current wip and tackle writing the rest of the story. I took down my notes for this chapter and I’m almost finished with it. I did, […]
Try, Try, Try Again
Try, Try, Try Again Traci Kenworth Rejection sometimes puts us up against a wall. It can be heartbreaking to get turned down on a story yet again. The doubts, the slips of self-confidence, the frustration. All take place. What we can’t let happen is the desire to just give up. We’ll never reach our […]
Writing in the Dark
Writing in the Dark Traci Kenworth I used to write religiously with an outline as I’ve said on here before but lately, I’ve been “writing in the dark” so to speak. Which is to say, I’ve thrown out my outline with my current project and what I’ve begun to do is to take each […]
A Journal of Ideas
Journal of Ideas Traci Kenworth Do you keep one? Do you find it useful? I have both a journal and a jar filled with ideas. There basically just those that have come to mind either from dreams or jotting down notes and presto, they appear. The problem for me is I have so many […]
When Life Gets in the Way…
When Life Gets in the Way Traci Kenworth You’re going along strong, every word is falling into place, every scene playing off of each other when *boom* something in life happens. It can be a car accident, the birth of another/or your first child, or as often happens, health problems. What do you do […]
Book Review: Webster’s New World Guide to Punctuation Traci Kenworth Simon & Schuster by Auriel Douglas and Michael Strumpf Hook line: All the rules you need to know to punctuate correctly. Okay, so this is an older book obviously but I’ve been going through craft books lately, trying to study, study, […]
Biding Your Time
Biding Your Time Traci Kenworth One skill I’m learning is to keep your attention focused on something other than those requests still out, the query letters you’ve sent. It’s not easy. In fact, it’s downright hard to focus on anything but your email all day long, but you must. There’s no way around it. […]
