I help nature-passionate people write fiction that makes readers care about the natural world.
Overwhelmed by too many story ideas?
|
Hey Reader, Do you ever have an overload of inspiration? Like everywhere you turn you see potential story ideas? That’s a fun place to be, but it can also pull your attention away from the book you’re actively writing. If you’ve ever wondered how to find balance when ideas are vying for your attention, I’ve written a blog post about this very topic. You can read it here. I’m currently experiencing the pull of a shiny new story idea myself. I’m deep in revisions of my middle grade historical fantasy, but I have an adult cozy mystery in mind and I really want to spend some time on it. But wait. If I shift my energy to this new novel, am I just procrastinating because revisions on my current book are hard? That’s the question I’m asking myself, and it’s one that every writer struggles with from time to time. This blog post can help. Let's write, erin@writewithnature.com |

Hey Reader, I’ve gotta be honest with you:I had a moment of exhaustion while working on my novel last week. A moment when I thought, can I do this, or should I throw in the towel? I’d just mapped out everything I want to accomplish in my second round of revisions, and oh my stars, it’s a lot! I’m not talking about tinkering with sentences here. There’s some heavy lifting that needs to be done: New scenes to be written. Chapters to be entirely rewritten from a different character’s...
Hey Reader, A couple weeks ago I invited you to share an area of your writing where you’re struggling, so that I can create content that will help you where you need it. I got lots of great responses! (And if you haven’t chimed in yet, it’s not too late. Just hit reply and let me know what you want to know!) Let’s take a look at one of the questions I received: I write short stories. How do I make sure I'm not constantly creating protagonists who are dealing with the same feelings of...
