Hi friends,
It's been a little quiet here for a while, and that wasn't intentional.
Between life, writing, and everything else that seems to compete for attention, my newsletter slipped to the bottom of the list for a bit. But the conversations about writing are some of my favorite ones to have, so I'm opening that door again.
If you're here, you're probably a storyteller at heart. Maybe you're drafting a novel, tinkering with a short story, or just trying to get words onto the page consistently.
So let's start simple.

Sharpen Your Skills
One of the most powerful things a writer can do is practice intentionally.
Not just writing pages, but sharpening specific skills the way athletes train muscles.
For example:
Try this exercise the next time you sit down to write.
Write a scene using only dialogue.
No narration.
No description.
Just the characters talking.
You will immediately start noticing things like:
• How each character speaks differently
• Where tension builds in conversation
• What goes unsaid between lines
Dialogue-only scenes are one of the fastest ways to improve your ability to write natural conversations.
If you'd like, reply and tell me how the exercise went. I love hearing what people discover when they try things like this.
In the coming weeks I'll be sharing more practical tools like this, along with pieces about storytelling, craft, and the strange and wonderful work of writing novels.
If there's a topic you'd like me to cover, hit reply and let me know.
