When it’s Okay
When it’s Okay to be in Love with Your Writing & when it’s not Traci Kenworth Okay, so you just know you’ve written the one. You’re trembling with excitement, on fire with ambition, ready to shoot past the stars. Hold on there. Have you ran your brilliant creation past your critique groups and beta…

AreWriters Born or Made?
Are Writers Born or Made? Traci Kenworth I think the truth is: both. Writers are born with a passion, a creative-streak that manifests in their lives somehow. Art. Music. Acting. These are some other professions that seem to rumble from the soul to the outside at some point. I know that I’ve always had to…

A Subject Close to a Parent’s Heart
A Subject Close to a Parent’s Heart Traci Kenworth I’ve read recently (as well as roundabout for a while) that boys aren’t reading like they should. Girls seem to latch onto books like goldfish to a pond. It’s natural and easy for them. Boys, on the other hand, struggle with the desire to crack…

Balancing Home-Life with Writing
Balancing Home-Life with Writing Traci Kenworth It becomes a challenge (with any career) to balance such with home-life. On one end, you have the kids, piled up laundry, dirty dishes, pets that demand attention, and at the other, there’s your job, that thing you do that supports/fulfills you. Writing is that for me. It’s…
