Dynamic Duo!

Excited that this author uses the same narrator for this book. These two are a great team, the narrator always conveys exactly what the author is saying and leaves little room to be confused on these topics.

author struggles

I have had no issue with deciding what my characters will say but I struggle with getting it onto paper. This book breaks down what should go into the specific dialogue being spoken by the characters I found that incredibly helpful.

Real life advice!

This author starts out with a heartwarming introduction that made me feel like she cared about me as an aspiring author. She does not allow you to think that writing is easy, but she breaks down all of the steps of this incredible journey so you are not surprised by any twists.
