guides April 20, 2022November 10, 2022 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

Defense mechanisms are a variety of behaviors that keep a person from confronting and acknowledging uncomfortable feelings. They include denial, projection, repression, and suppression.

guides April 6, 2022April 2, 2022 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

Body language is subconscious, so you can’t always tell exactly what’s going on in someone else’s mind.

When someone is nervous, they may […]

How Word Counts Influence Your Form

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure what age I started to write down my thoughts, but my first memories go back to my early childhood. I remember writing my first fanfiction when I was about 13, and it involved a girl group based on the Spice Girls—no shame […]

Kill Your Darlings

Developing our characters is what we do as writers, but they can also be trouble. Maybe you created a particular character to be so annoying that you never want to see them again.

Today’s blog goes hand in hand with last week’s post. One of my goals with these guides is to think about different ways to look at story development.
