Friday Write-Day: Crunch Month Continues
Revising The Warden of Everfeld: Memento has changed the way I think about stories.
During my discovery/first draft process, I mainly thought of world-building in terms of how it affected my direct story. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Crunch Month Continues”
