Wednesday blog day!!!!!

Ya'll, it is FINALLY time to kick off the inaugural Fighting For Writing Series! I've been working on these articles for months and I'm so excited to finally share them with the world.

If you join my livestreams, you'll hear me talk a lot about why I started this blog. In a nutshell, I was tired of writing advice that completely leaves out chronically ill writers, writers with disabilities or mental health issues, neurodivergent writers, or anyone who basically doesn't live an Instagram-perfect life.

So Fighting For Writing is designed for us: the weirdies, the chronically ill creatives, the crack fanfic writers, the goblins who refuse to stick to formula.

I really hope you find this helpful, and there is much more to come!
