Where I Am
Where I’m At Traci Kenworth I finished rewriting SH finally, now I’m double-checking words, grammar, and typos.

I should…

Five Things for Inspiration
Five Things for Inspiration Traci Kenworth In no particular order of importance: Music. Whatever kind you like, play it soft, play it loud, anyway you want.

Character Studies
Character Studies Traci Kenworth How useful are they? Even late in the game? Very. I find myself on the precipice of tearing apart my wip for the final round of edits before a send-off to agents. I still pull out my character charts because I know, that they help keep me on track on…
