Welcome to the seventh writing club update!

Happy new year!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I was just getting used to drawing the “4” in “2024” in my notebooks, and now I have to get used to a whole new number. I always liked “5” though, so hopefully we get along alright.

As always I hope everyone has had a good month (but not so good as to leave nothing to stoke the fires of creativity).

Anyway, on with the important part - the Writers!

I can’t wait to hear from you all. Your updates no matter how trivial always manage to motivate me for the next month.

As always, anyone and everyone are welcome to comment or share their own work in addition to the club participants above.

    The skill of planning, if well honed, is invaluable in writing works that stand the test of time, I think. I reckon I use my plans like maps who’s traces of roads I use to plan stops in my text. I try to make sure that the reader’s view at each of these stops is worth the travel.

      Reading that comment was well worth the travel for me. Yes, I like the way you put that. While I’m sure there’s a place for seat-of-your-pants writing (aka “pantsing”), it’s nice to know what the view, as you put it, is going to look like from different parts of the story.
