As we're nearing the end of the year – I feel compelled to reflect on what I've learned through this year of ups and downs: how do you measure a year?

If you’re writing fiction or a life story, you may have considered the personality types of your characters. All the characters in my novel have just completed a personality test: the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).

I have finished my first draft! It’s taken ten months of research, planning, writing, self-doubt, re-writing, crying, editing, and more self-doubt.

I’ve recently joined an online course in the hope that it will improve my creative writing. I am writing with twelve pen-pals from across the globe...

I’m celebrating arriving at the final part of my novel. This is where it all comes together. It starts with an inciting incident and doesn't let up until the climactic moment.
