Skye Knight enjoys sharing her writing journey via her blog, with every intention of releasing a new post with her updates on her site and via her newsletter every week, but more often, it's every month. The blogs share where she's at with what she's working on, her learnings about the process, and what is inspiring (or stumping!) her. Skye looks forward to branching out to share more of her life beyond her writing and to start covering more of her painting life as she dives back into that!
Wow, I have been holding so many things back that I must share with y’all. Here is all the news since my last post. As of this past Sunday night, I turned in the first book of my contemporary romance trilogy to the professional editor I’ve hired through the awesome …
I had a great call with my Write Better Faster coach today about why I always get tripped up on editing and feedback. Some people hate a blank page, and some people hate editing. It often varies because of your strengths. I’m really writing this blog post for myself, so …
My friends and I are kind of freaking out. via GIPHY We are all writing short stories for this anthology I’ve mentioned that will be available for purchase, both as an e-book or paperback, starting early next year! Four of us will be debut authors together in it–and we’ve been …
I’m laughing at myself because my writing history is as an English major focused on British works, newspaper reporter and copy desk editor, TV and radio reporter and producer, digital media producer, business strategist, paid media and consumer strategy marketer, and brand strategist. Simplifying down a lot of moves and …
As stated to my coworking group on our monthly goal-setting call last month in February, my goal was “Write First” every day for March. Because the days that I don’t get as much work completed on my novel are when I start on some other personal life task–finances, something for …
Y’all my kids have been singing Encanto on repeat. But I never dreamed it was going to help me with my creative endeavors. Lo and behold, about 2 weeks ago, I was deep in research because I had paused my writing when I thought maybe, just maybe, I was bullshitting …
You’ll probably see a bit less of me blogging or sending the newsletter, at least through April. I’m hyper-focused on minimizing distractions in my life and doing what matters most to me to achieve my goals. Or if I do post, I’ll try to make it short and to-the-point, a …
I am so happy with how our writing retreat in Kiawah Island, SC went. Not only did we get a lot of words and a lot of work done, but my writing friend Keely and I also had a relaxing and wonderful time! First of all our travel magic (h/t …
I am so excited I’m leaving tomorrow for a mini-writing retreat with another writing friend, staying for a long weekend in my rental condo in Kiawah Island, SC!!! Woo-Hoo!!! I was real productive the first 3 days of last week, with the last day even achieving close to 4000 words! …
Writing for me lately has been like pulling teeth. I’ve been told time and time again that you can’t wait for your muse. See that time I saw my fave Nora Roberts talk at the Washington Post. You just have to practice BICHOK aka “Butt in Chair, Hands on Keyboard.” …
I’m writing, and it’s freaking me out. I’ve spent so many years working on this novel. And then so many months this year, reworking the plot and thinking through every angle. And editing the crap out of the new Chapter 1 to make sure I don’t make mistakes throughout. And …
