#58: What Telling and Showing Really Mean

August 29, 2017September 3, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ Leave a comment

Today is the fifth Tuesday of the month, which means that my answer to this heartfelt letter is available exclusively to my Patreon patrons.

#57: Second-Guessing Revisions

August 22, 2017August 20, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ 1 Comment

Revising is as individual as writing. There's no wrong way to do it, and there are no hard and fast rules about how it goes.

#56: Showing, Telling, and Tension in Romance

August 15, 2017August 14, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ 4 Comments

Romantic tension is one of those things that's often better managed during revisions, because it's all about pacing.

#55: Writing for Five Minutes at a Time

August 8, 2017August 6, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ 5 Comments

Work with your innate writing process rather than against it, and you'll be much happier and more productive.

Happy First Anniversary, Story Hospital!

August 5, 2017August 6, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ 10 Comments

I'm so proud of my little site, and so grateful to all of you for helping to keep it going.

#54: Feeling Guilty About Spilled Words

August 1, 2017July 31, 2017 ~ Rose Fox ~ 5 Comments

The person you injured is you, in the sense of costing yourself the time and effort of repairing the problems with your work, and the person you need to apologize to is you.
