    Ever wondered how to judge the quality of your own Ever wondered how to judge the quality of your own writing? ✍️

A recent memorial service for a man deeply passionate about words sparked an insight: T.S. Eliot had it figured out. In his view, exceptional writing is akin to a harmonious dance — each word thoughtfully chosen, neither too bold nor too timid, working together to achieve both clarity and beauty.

Think of your words as dancers on a stage, each contributing to a perfectly choreographed routine. Reaching this level of coherence and resonance is possible for all of us. What’s required is a clear aim and a commitment to refining our skills.

Curious to improve your writing? Explore the elements that make up truly resonant prose in our new blog post. 👉 Click the link in our bio.
    Stuck in the written maze? 📝 We've all been th Stuck in the written maze? 📝

We've all been there: the blank screen, the pulsing cursor, and the weight of unexpressed ideas. It's frustrating, draining, but not insurmountable. 

There's a peculiar agony in facing a blank page. Each second that ticks by feels like a chasm widening between us and our inspiration, a maddening dance of the persistent cursor mocking our still fingers. It's an emotion we all know too well: the anxiety of halted creativity, the tug-of-war with words that refuse to come forth, and the feeling of being trapped in our own minds.

But here's a comforting thought: every writer, from novices to seasoned authors, has been ensnared by this invisible monster at some point. It's a rite of passage, a test of our commitment and passion. And whilst it feels like an impenetrable fog, remember that it is transient. It comes, and it will go.

    Every story begins with a single line, but not all Every story begins with a single line, but not all opening sentences are created equal. 📖

Your first words are a doorway, inviting readers into a world you've crafted. But it's more than just an invitation; it's a promise, a glimpse into the heart of your tale.

An impactful opening line can be the difference between a book that's set aside and one that's devoured in a single sitting. It establishes expectations, builds anticipation, and forms the reader's first—and often lasting—impression. With so much riding on those initial words, mastering the art of the opening line becomes paramount.

Let's explore the tools and techniques that can turn your story's beginning into a magnetic force. 💌

Whether it's channelling Hemingway's assurance or diving deep into 18th-century novels for authenticity, what we read influences our stories. But it's not just about deliberate choices. Think about the power of words we encounter by chance—the ones that resonate with memories, emotions, and forgotten moments. While we may not always harness these undertones consciously, appreciating their depth can add layers to our writing. After all, words have both public and deeply personal meanings.
