writerfriends! what’s some great specific, concrete advice someone’s given you for a story or other piece of writing that really helped you not just in that piece of work, but beyond? (disclaimer: I’m writing a short ebook about strategies for strengthening your stories, and I’m looking for more ideas!)
Awesome Partner Skills is totally coming together. I imagine it will be the first personal project I complete this year, since I can sit at the computer, put my head down, and look up an hour later with 2000+ words added.
I like to think of this book as an adoptive big sibling who has gone through all of the toughest parts of being involved in an adult relationship. it’s a bit like Adulting, but with a lot more emphasis on the relationship aspect than the practicalities of things. it helps you consider all the factors, include the other person, and be honest with yourself about your needs. of course, I touch on a lot of very practical things–like how to make pizza at home, how to change the oil in a car, and how to give the best present–but it’s all in the context of being the best human being and partner you can be.
watch soon for promotional chapters and audience requests!
Pick a couple of purposes, and go with them. You can’t be everything. Stop trying.
