Being a Better Writer: Subverting Tropes · 9:55pm Apr 24th, 2018

Being a Better Writer: Micro-Blast #3 · 7:26pm May 17th, 2016

Yep! Another Tuesday BaBW post. While this has been the standard for the last three weeks, I don’t think I work this next Monday, so hopefully I’ll be able to break this chain and get back to posting these on their usual time.

Nothing happens. No comments, a modicum of votes, and a few views. Maybe it’s just bad luck. Or maybe the story’s boring and fails to maintain the audience’s attention—however, if you had a bunch of good beta-readers helping with the story, this
