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 […]

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 […]

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. […]
