Hi friends & writers,

Hope you are using this warm-sock weather for some good writing sessions! Here’s issue #7:


PROCESS: KEEPING STEAM WHERE IT BELONGS

Writers know that there is only so much internal steam available to push a piece of writing forward. Sometimes talking about a piece or sharing it or even editing it too soon can stop the momentum by letting out steam in a non-forward direction.

Try this: Keep a piece of writing to yourself for as long as you can. Share it only once you have reached a plateau and feel confident that sharing it will not keep you from continuing.


FEATURED VENUE: ADVENTUM MAGAZINE

This biannual digital & print magazine accepts creative nonfiction and seasonal haiku (!!) that explore some aspect of personal experience in the outdoors. Reading period ends May 15.
