I'm struggling everywhere but hopefully this year I have a better hold on everything and can move forward. Thanks for sharing some of the challenges from your class with us.

Healthy and sometimes surprisingly productive.

When you start something new--like a new genre--be sure to read up on it.You might be surprised at how dissimilar the basics for writing it are from what you are used to doing! <br />And, yes.

Lately, all I write about is content writing and marketing.<br /><br />I once challenged my writing by eliminating the word 'was' from a story. Interesting exercise. I also took a drawing class and loved it. Learning new things and challenging yourself is a great way to move forward.

The funny thing was, they all fitted into the same 'universe' and are now the basis of a new series! Life's funny that way. :)widdershinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04205462833259334647noreply@blogger.com
