Resources For Writers

When I started writing I was no less than a lost soul in this big ocean of literature so trust me when I say that I know how it feels to not have a clue about where to begin and how to go about the process of writing. I sometimes feel that way even now, but after having written two novels I know that this is all just part of the process of writing.

In order to help writers, I’ve worked on the following articles and podcasts in the hopes of helping those who need help either in  learning the basics of fiction writing or just to find their muse or need a small reminder of the basic writing concepts (I, for one, constantly read these articles and podcasts in order to revise my basics.)
