Writing Advice
Just some of my opinions and instructions on writing! I used to be a big pantser and never plan anything I wrote, but then it turned into a whole lot of unfinished half-manuscripts that I couldn't ever figure out how to finish. The Seven-Point-Plot method works really well for me because it gives me structure but isn't too rigid, so I still get to discovery write when I want to.Stories Published on WA
The world of the Imperia is huge and complex, and a lot of that lore can't fit into the novels themselves. I've written some short stories to explore the other players within the Imperia, or expanding on the experiences of novel characters that happened outside of the events of the actual novels.Short Stories
