Look, writer’s block is not some giant, mysterious monster. It’s you, in your head, holding yourself back because you’re afraid what you’re writing sucks. And here’s the truth, yeah, maybe it does suck. But you know what? That’s okay. Writing something bad is still better than writing nothing at all. You don’t wait for inspiration to strike, you show up, write the garbage draft, and then fix it later. Writing isn’t about perfection, it’s about getting it done. Even if it’s one crappy page at a time.

Listen, you can’t write perfect characters. No one cares about reading about someone who never screws up. Your characters need to make bad decisions, they need to hurt people, and they need to be hurt. They should doubt themselves and do things they regret. That’s where the magic happens, when they’re flawed, messy, and human. People don’t fall in love with characters because they’re flawless; they fall in love because those characters remind them of the chaos inside themselves. So don’t be afraid to put your characters through hell. Only then will their journey mean something.

Dear female writers, never feel bad for writing a soft feminine woman who wants a family. There is nothing wrong with writing that like there’s nothing wrong with wanting that.

Women can be soft and feminine while being well written.

Spring Writing

April 1, 2024|Blogging

We are all familiar with spring cleaning, clearing out the clutter from winter months, and being inside so much. But what about spring writing? Is it any different writing in the spring as opposed to the winter? I think so, not only are days getting longer but spring is usually a time for happiness and rebirth. So what better time to start an exciting new writing project. I Find romance or children's books are good genres to write in spring. I don't know about you, but I feel happier in spring than I did during winter. So go ahead, start that new project, and remember to "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson 

Shout-out to multilingual writers who are writing in their second (or third and so on) language.

The frustration of speaking it fluently, but still having to google basic words when you're writing.

The absolute joy of finding a word that sounds just perfect and conveys exactly what you mean.

Doubting all your grammar and being afraid to post it or even send it to a beta reader.

The euphoria of someone calling your use of this language, that is not your mother tongue, beautiful.

There’s something more underneath all of this, and if people confirmed it, she wouldn’t doubt any of it.
