Hello writers! I am juggling a few writing projects but not actually writing at all! I am wondering what you are all working on? Active writing? Editing? Would love details about what you are doing writing-wise when you sit down at the computer.

something to help getting jumpstarted again.

Writing Process Epiphany

ninjamonkey73 wrote in writeandgripe Oct 19, 2013 09:59
