Content Around The Web:
On Youtube:
- If You’re Not Making Progress, Change Direction – I figured out why I wasn’t progressing the plot in my latest work-in-progress. I was trying to write the wrong type of story! In this video, I’ll be discussing what the types of stories are, and why the one I was trying to write didn’t work for this story.
On the Podcast:
- 3 Things To Consider… Before ‘Fixing’ Your Manuscript – How Do You Please Everyone With Your Writing? Spoiler Alert: You can’t.
In the query trenches, you see agents posting about what they don’t want and there’s this knee-jerk reaction, when I recognize a trope from my writing in their ‘no thank you’ list. The feeling of, “Oh! I can fix it! And then you’ll love it!” Especially when you see so much of your story in their ‘please send me’ list. But, before you do, listen to this episode where I discuss 3 reasons NOT to ‘fix’ your manuscript. - Morgan’s 2021 Resolutions – Last year was a year of querying/submitting, revisions, reading, and networking. This year? The goal is publication! Yet again, I need to refocus on what will get me there.
On The Blog (In Case You Missed Them):
- Author Spotlight: Deston J. Munden — a fantasy dork, awkward orc, and overall good sport sharing writing tips and talking about his own projects.
- 3 Things To Consider… Before ‘Fixing’ Your Manuscript – How Do You Please Everyone With Your Writing? Spoiler Alert: You can’t.
Events:
None scheduled, yet. But watch out, I’m sure they’re coming.

In the aftermath of (mostly) last week’s Zoe Chant novellas binge, my books for the year sits at [29/36]. Ooops.
