After three years of blogging, what do I think?
I've been blogging on WordPress for three years now. It doesn't feel like it though. But after all this time, what do I think about it? Pros Blogging has pushed my creativity.

Using pop culture as a writing release
At AWP, I went to a panel that spoke about how writers used pop culture in their published work. They'd write as if they were the characters themselves or at least in that fictional universe.

For your new literary agent
When searching for a literary agent, some people think about only their query letter. But usually agents ask for more.

Is there a spot where it may … Continue reading For your new literary agent
How do we manage the stress?
Managing stress is essential for any job. It's hard to balance work (even if it's more like a hobby) with life in general. It can feel as if it's impossible to get everything done. While listening to Ear Biscuits the other day, I heard a great quote about that: "It's probably the case that feeling like … Continue reading How do we manage the stress?
