I thought I should make it clear upfront what this Substack is and what it isn’t…currently (my crystal ball doesn’t extend much past the next keystroke).
What it’s not:
-
a highly researched and peer reviewed collection of tried and true methods proven to work among the most elite writers.
-
the product of multiple drafts, beta readers, and experienced editors.
-
thoughts that seamlessly flow in a logical and easy to follow guide that will enable you to be a better writer.
What it is:
-
a collection of thoughts and methods proven to work with THIS writer.
-
the product of one draft with a passing glance at any words with red squiggles underneath.
-
random thoughts on various subjects that can range anywhere from the creative process to confronting fears over self-doubt and people pleasing (welcome to my brain)
Perhaps one day I’ll go back through and organize these thoughts into a cohesive manner, but for now I’ll let it be what writing is 99% of the time.
Messy.
