Cooking the books
Author, editor, and book coach. Named after a Star Trek actress. 🖖 She, her, hers. Resident of Colorado, USA. All photos posted are my own, except for those I boost. No AI is used in the production of my creative work. All people deserve love, respect, and equality regardless of color, gender, body type, or any other difference.
The horrors persist, but so do I. Profile pic is resistance lark bunting.
If anyone wants one of my books free of DRM, please DM me.
WritersCoffeeClub Apr 3: Have you studied writing? Did it prepare you, or did you learn more by doing?
Both. I have a BA in English. I have taken (and continue to take) classes, webinars, etc. I read books on writing. But it is in consciously applying all these lessons to actual writing where the magic happens. You can't just study, you must apply what you've learned.
I did start an MFA in creative writing, but it did not teach me what I wanted to know. So I stopped and looked elsewhere.
