I have a Podcast!

Hey fellow authors! Guess what? I have a Podcast! I didn't think I would go through with it at first, but I like that I get to share my thoughts and experiences with writing. I'll be recording a new episode every week, so stay tuned. Most topics will be on the writing subject from critique partners, backstory, show and tell, etc. Outside of that, I'll be sharing my personal writing journey. What makes me different from the others? You're hearing it from me LOL.

All opinions are my own so nothing I say is set in stone. Should you choose to listen, please sift. Don't change what you're doing because I said it. Take a few pointers here and there and see how you can apply it to your own style. I know everyone will not like or agree with me, but I am entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. All I ask is, no negativity. It won't be tolerated--at all.

The first and second episodes are available so go ahead and listen. I don't know it all but I'm willing to learn. I believe if you wrote it, it's already unique because... you wrote it. You're an exclusive on this earth and no one can tell as story like you.

Enjoy!

Arranged by Trisha Grace

  Arranged : A Clean Billionaire Romance by Trisha Grace From the first chapter, this story engrossed me. I love Hayley and her spirit. She realizes her "dream" husband is just a dream, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she must press into her faith to take care of a man that doesn't want her around. Julian doesn't see Hayley as his wife, but her kindness towards him has him questioning her intentions. I love Trisha's depiction of both faith and love in this story. Hayley and Julian are both relatable, but Hayley is definitely my favorite in this story. I love her strength, her faith in God, and how she depends on Him to help with her rocky marriage. I look forward to reading more by Trisha Grace. Beautiful story, with even more twists and turns to keep us readers guessing.

Beta Reading; What's been working for me

If you've been looking for beta readers I do recommend www.critiquematch.com , www.cpmatchmaking.wordpress.com , and the latest www.betareader.io . With Critique Match and Betareader.io, you will have to upload your manuscript, whether its pages or the full document. I do advise reviewing the tutorials, and anything else can be asked in the help desks. I will say what's been working for me, is offering to be a beta reader. Of course, I don't offer in the hopes of "what can you do for me?" If a story sparks my interest and I have the time, I don't mind helping a fellow author in my genre. I know I can't read everyone's work, but I aim to sharpen my skills when it comes to plot development, character arcs, narratives, etc. Doing this, however, I have found authors are more open to reading my work since I took the time to read theirs. Again, I'm happy to help because I love reading and writing, but this has definitely been an asset to my works in pr...

Writer Tip: Scenes

Recently I saw a post on Twitter referring to the use of scenes. So, it had me wondering, how do you know what scenes work best for your book? At the end of the day, you want the scenes that move your story along. Is it essential to your character's personal growth (character arc) in the story? Are you just padding your book with words to meet a word count? For example, if my character (heroine) is sitting the in the park, my reader will want to know why? Is she reflecting on her life? Why is this scene important to her story? If she meets her love interest (hero) while at the park, then yes keep it in the book. If she has a conversation about the guy with a friend while at the park, then yes save it. So, as you can see if it moves the story along to where it's changing and challenging your characters (provoking change, building tension/conflict), then include the necessary scenes in your book. On the other hand, how do you know when a scene's over? Whether you're w...
