On 11 February 20195 June 2019 By AriIn Marketing9 Comments

Welcome back to another Monday Marketing post! Today’s post is about working out what “success” means to you. Everyone’s level of success is different and if you constantly use someone else’s definition of success rather than your own, that could cause problems.

Why You Need To Be Part Of The Writing Community

On 22 June 201813 April 2020 By AriIn General, Health66 Comments

Writing is often considered a lonely profession, and while it's true that it's a solitary task, it does not have to be lonesome.  Even a socially-awkward, highly-anxiety-ridden person like myself, can make connections within the writing community.

How to Set the Pacing of your Story

On 11 March 20165 August 2019 By AriIn Tutorials7 Comments

I have read a number of articles that talk about speeding up your story. They talk about how a writer can "bog down" the plot by going too slowly. How the plot should barrel along like some runaway train, dragging the reader with it. So today's post is about pacing.

Hi, I’m Ari.  I write mostly fantasy & sci-fi stories, meaning I spend almost no time in reality. Though I do visit it on occasion.

I like to share tips, tricks & tutorials on this website.
