What Should I Post Today?

July 1, 2022June 22, 2022 / John W. Howell / 81 Comments

Useful Writing Tools

April 14, 2021April 10, 2021 / Joan Hall / 72 Comments

Hey, SE Readers. Joan with you today. You’ve probably heard the terms planner, plotter, and panster. Some writers must have a detailed outline before writing the first word of a novel.
