Writing After Life Kicks You in the Teeth

I always thought that writer's block wasn't a real thing. That you could just sit down and start writing, and eventually you would figure out what should happen next.

I've even written ridiculously imposs Read more of this blog post »

Hi Emily,

I noticed that you added "Getting into Character." Where did you hear about this book? I am half way through and I love it so far. I have started to use the technique she describes to supplement what I have learned from Holly. It's working nicely. I hope you enjoy the book as well. Take care! :)

Lisa :)
