Aug 8, 2019

Five important things to remember about jumping back into writing your WIP – work in progress.

Valentine’s Day brings out mixed emotions for most people. At best, it’s a way to remind those you care about how special they are to you. But sometimes it can place unwanted pressure to be perfect or stir up difficult memories.
