How Word Counts Influence Your Form

guides February 23, 2022November 24, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

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

creativity, guides February 16, 2022November 24, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

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. Perhaps they’re so crucial to your story that you can’t even think about killing them. But, what is the best way to […]

Seeing the Negative Approach

guides, writersblock, writing February 9, 2022November 24, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

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. You put your characters through the wringer in every way! Despite what some writers may claim, there is no such thing as a “right way” to approach […]

When the World Laughs

guides February 2, 2022November 24, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

Every writer has a style, a personality that influences the way they write. Some may be fast and crude, others reserved and timid, and some may be witty. Some may even be all of the above! I took my pursuit of knowledge further and sat for my Masters of Fine Arts in Writing. It’s a […]

How to Self-Edit

editing January 26, 2022November 24, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

Self-editing is an integral part of any writer’s craft. Looking back over your work, writing specific paragraphs or entire sections over again can often be the only way to evaluate whether or not your writing is strong enough for publication. The problem is that self-editing can be tedious and time-consuming. It can be tough to […]

Words That Describe Light

guides January 12, 2022November 22, 2021 Guilliean Pacheco 0 Comments

“Light” is an important word to describe. Light is often an integral part of what you are describing; this is particularly true when describing colors or lighting effects. So, when writing about light, it is vital to use the word accurately. There is an infographic floating around, and I’ve included it in text form because […]
