Reblog Wednesday: “A Persian Brew” – Mahdis Marzooghian
We’re going to start reblogging and/or linking one essay, article, or blog we find interesting, emotive, or hilarious each Wednesday, because sharing is caring.
Update, Oct 24, 2019: The original link to this article was broken/not found, so I searched the Google and found a more recent publication of the article.

The most succinct thing I can say about Mahdis’s writing is that she made me — a white, blonde-haired, American male — feel like I was living her experiences. That is the connective power of brilliant storytelling.

Hoping that once it’s nothing but ash,
I’ll move past it, and it’ll cease to be.
So here goes: Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #36: Ceasing”

3 Reasons You Have to Cut That Scene
Imagine there’s a 500-word chunk of your story that you crafted, carefully shaping it to flow with the rest of the chapter and fit into your story’s themes. It may have taken you 15 or 20 minutes to write that section, read over it, make adjustments to wording or style, and move on to the next section.
But then something changes. Continue reading “3 Reasons You Have to Cut That Scene”
