My Blog

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!

Why I Hate Editing My Own Work

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 …
