Fantasy isn’t just Escape
Studying Writing About Tough Topics There are endless books to capture the tougher things in life, because life is generally tough, and people write about life, don't they? But some books capture the tougher things in life better than others. Even fantasy! Some would say that fantasy, the genre that is my very favorite, is… Continue reading Fantasy isn’t just Escape
Of Writing Progress and Reading Steampunk
Recently I joined a fun website to keep myself accountable about writing something every day, even if it's just journaling. The website requires you to write 750 words a day, and gives you badges as rewards for hitting special rungs of the ladder.
