As a writer, it is necessary to have various tools in your arsenal to support you along your writing journey. As a writer for many years, there have been many books that I have viewed in hopes to better my understanding of the craft. One of the books that have been very helpful in my growth as a writer is The Writer’s Little helper. As a beginner writer, it helped me hone and develop my craft, shaping the modes in which I would later generate material. It is a fabulous book, easy to read, and full of helpful information and diagrams. I would highly recommend this book for both beginners and seasoned writers who would like a refresher, and perhaps some neat new ideas to incorporate into their writing arsenal.

 

One of the few artistic things I do other than writing. It is always good to see your world come to life… If you find yourself wanting to draw, but feel that you just aren’t any good at it, I understand. I’m not either, except on rare occasions. There are a couple of things that really help me to come out with something other than a squibbly stick person when I draw. One, it helps to have music on that I both enjoy, and can lose myself in. This means I can concentrate. Second, if you look at a picture before hand, it helps tremendously. All you have to do from there is see it on the page and draw what you see. Looking at the page you’re drawing on and “seeing” it there before you make a line is key. At least, those are the two things that really help me.

It’s a tentative cover for my WIP drawn by a dear friend done a few years back!

Write or die. You haven’t lived until you’ve died writing.
