A whole new world.
Writing tutorials, useful worksheets, and a few ideas to get you going.
For your first story, your fifth draft, or the project you keep coming back to.
Read a little. Try something. Get back to your draft.
What if the moon
kept a diary?
Somewhere, something
was waiting to begin.
At precisely midnight, every map in the city changed. Rivers wandered. Mountains moved. And on a street that had never existed, a small blue door appeared.
Mara reached for the handle.
“A city where the maps change? I’m already turning the page.”
THE GOOD KIND OF FEEDBACK ♡WELCOME TO WRITER’S PARADISE
A little help with
the next page.
Some days you need an idea. Some days you need to work out why a scene feels flat. Start with a short tutorial, borrow a worksheet, or try a prompt. You don’t need an account to use anything here.
A FEW THINGS WORTH TRYING
Let’s work on the writing.
Short tutorials. Something to try at the end.
GETTING STARTED · SHORT READ
Start a scene when you don’t know where to begin.
Give someone a reason to act, then put something in their way. The first line can wait.
Read the tutorial ↗REVISION · SHORT READ
Fix a scene without rewriting every sentence.
Work out what needs to change before you start polishing the words.
Read the tutorial ↗FEEDBACK · SHORT READ
Give feedback a writer can actually use.
Explain what you noticed, where it happened, and what left you wondering.
Read the tutorial ↗KEEP THESE HANDY
A couple of useful pages.
Plain text. Open them in whatever you write with.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO WRITE
Give this ten minutes.
No need to turn it into a whole story. See what happens.
Someone returns a borrowed coat. There’s something in the pocket that wasn’t there before.
THERE’S MORE ON THE WAY
Three more parts of Paradise.
Each will have its own space here. For now, you can take a look at what we have in mind.
