It is often said that writing is a skill that is never truly mastered. This is a fact. We learn and grow each and every day in our writing. Maybe it is a tip we read, a word we learned, a video we saw, or just simply a critique we received that helps us grow that day but we learned something and will in some way apply it to our writing. This book is my way of putting the tips and prompts I have left on my profile page in one place. I will add more as well. Enjoy! Happy Writing!

The second part to our writing journey. Anything that you might need as you create your masterpiece! Tips, your questions answered, names, ideas, plots, and weird words that you would never stumble upon if it weren't for this!
