A Tale of a Fox and a Novel: On Taking the Leap and Submitting Your Writing

Published March 5, 2021 | Last Updated March 7, 2021 By Nicole Bianchi 3 Comments

This past year I finished writing a novel. Back when I was working on the first draft, a fox somehow got into the second chapter. I hadn’t planned it. He appeared for only a few fleeting paragraphs before darting off. 

I wasn’t sure why he was in the story, but I decided to keep him. And I ended up writing him another appearance in the final act.

7 Letters from Famous Writers Sharing Fantastic Writing Advice

Published February 4, 2021 | Last Updated February 6, 2021 By Nicole Bianchi 6 Comments

“If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter.” — Blaise Pascal

I love reading the journals and correspondence of famous writers. It’s a wonderful way to get a peek into their writing process, and often you’ll discover exquisite gems — fantastic advice you can use to become a better writer. 

That quote attributed to Blaise Pascal is one example. It’s an excellent reminder to examine your writing and see if there are any parts you could leave out — unnecessary repetition, irrelevant tangents, etc. Unfortunately for Pascal’s friend, Pascal didn’t have time to edit his letter. I hope the unedited letter was entertaining. 😉

In today’s blog post, I’ve highlighted the best writing advice from letters from seven different famous writers. Enjoy!

A Powerful Productivity Tip To Help You Reach Your Writing Goals (Video)

Published January 31, 2021 | Last Updated January 31, 2021 By Nicole Bianchi Leave a Comment

I’m excited to share a new video with you today! It’s a productivity tip that I’ve found invaluable for reaching my personal writing goals.

This tip works best for writing projects or goals that don’t have a deadline attached (for example, creating a daily writing habit) or for projects where you can set your own deadlines. However, you can apply some of the strategies I mention in the video to other projects as well to make them easier to tackle.

I hope you find the tip helpful! I’d love to hear from you in the comments.

If you enjoy the video, it would be awesome if you could give it a thumbs up and leave a comment. And make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel if you’d like to see more videos like this one. Thanks for watching!
