Wednesday Craft returns for member subscribers: June 25, 2025

A midweek booster of ideas from a book coach's trove of writing craft revelations and insights.

Wednesday Craft is back! So many wonderful things I wanted to share with you have been piling up that I decided to resurrect Wednesday Craft for paying members. I’m not certain I can keep it up weekly—bear with me and we’ll find out—but it’s assuredly back in the rotation.

So scoot your chair this direction and let’s settle in. Besides my chai with steamed coconut milk, here’s a taste of what’s brewing in this week’s Wednesday Craft:

• A trick to make sure the plot is consistently driving each scene

• Striking a balance with repeated information across a series

• Plus: unlikeable characters, characters you might spot on a cruise, the power of white space, some unwritten rules of writing, and enlivening your descriptions.
