Our recent writing chats have covered a wide variety of topics. This week, we decided to take a different approach and have an open-ended chat.

During the chat, I answered a variety of questions concerning these topics:

  • The writing process.
  • How to move your writing to the next level.
  • Interesting and important stories that caught chat participants’ attention.
  • Questions about writing tips, tricks, strategies or tools.
  • How to effectively use adjectives.
  • Concerns about stories and assignments chat participants were working on.

    Coaching, tutoring and mentoring are distinct disciplines that can offer critical perspectives on the unseen and a good player/author/actor/singer will use the information to develop.

    Why would anyone take writing advice from a person who has never written anything except a subsidized textbook? Never really understood that.
