…and how can you make yours work for you?
Has anyone ever told you that writing is a talent that you either have or you don鈥檛? We don鈥檛 mean to be blunt, but they鈥檙e wrong. Anyone can be a good writer with practice and a process.聽
The idea of the author who sits alone with beautiful words pouring onto a page is a myth 99% of the time.聽
All writers have processes they use. Writing processes are a series of events that happen before, during, and after you begin a writing project. Writing processes are unique to the writer, and can even evolve or change as time goes on. There鈥檚 no one or 鈥渞ight鈥� way to have a writing process.聽
So, how can you find a process that works for you? A process that allows you to write what you already know you can (and maybe even some things you didn鈥檛 know you could)?
Below are some helpful links, videos, and tips to get you started.聽
