I totally agree! Because it's so hard to find people who can love you unconditionally in the real world. But honestly, friendship well done is so wholesome too!

Once Upon a First Line The role of a novel’s opening sentence

Being a fanatic of killer first lines, my love for them sometimes stuns me as a writer. Here are my thoughts on how to write an effective first line of a novel. Hope it will help you get over that blank page syndrome! #writingcommunity #writesky medium.com/write-a-cata...

Yes! Found family is def a big soft spot in our hearts!!💞 nothing like being accepted by the people our protagonists meet on the way to become better versions of themselves!

Creativity isn’t just about sitting down to write. Other forms of self-expression can also help us shape our stories. What did you do this week to feed your creativity?
