I was looking through the book for writing exercises that I kinda like, which was hard because I myself am very judge-y and don't like doing things, but I found a decent one. So, right now, think of stories that you want to read or write but don't actually want to... you know, do the … Continue reading “The Right to Write” Response #7 →

Write what comes to mind. Honestly, this makes sense, you don't have to start off perfect, it will hold you back … Continue reading “The Right to Write” Response #2 →

I plan on writing an original story that’s set in a world of my own creation! I have yet to come up with the names of the characters, but I know key story points, basics of the characters, and the world.
