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!
So… I’m going to keep this brief because I have work to do. Today I’m working on translating the work I’ve done, putting my story beats into a chapterized format. But the big thing is, I am definitely starting writing this week, maybe even tomorrow. It’s been a long time …
So one thing that my writer friends and I talk about ALL THE TIME is StrengthFinders. A close-knit group of us have all taken the Write Better Faster, and related courses with Becca Syme, and knowing your strengths and how they can work for you is one of the key …
After two weeks of spring break in Kiawah Island, SC I have a bit of a hangover… but not in the I consumed too much alcohol way, LOL. I’m just out of the swing of normal life! I did writerly things… mainly volunteering for the Washington Romance Writers annual retreat …
So since Sundays are supposed to be a day of rest, and I suppose of all days Easter should be, I’m re-purposing an old Facebook post for y’all, but it’s a goodie. This is the story of my first tattoo–that is both tied to my writing and my spirituality–so I …
“Lean on meWhen you’re not strongAnd I’ll be your friendI’ll help you carry on…” Sing with me now! We all know the good ole classic “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers. Although many will tell you writing is a solitary career, I’ve found that having a good support system is …
One of the biggest things I’ve learned in 7.5 years of writing fiction regularly is that there is no one way to do this. Everyone has tons of advice, just like when you’re having a baby for the first time. But ultimately, you have to figure out what is going …
I thought, for this week, it might be a little fun to dive into a bit of whimsy. For those of you who don’t know me well, I have an interesting personal history with all things new age. I mean, with a name like Skye, this is probably not incredibly …
I am a full-time writer. Wow. Did I just say that? For those of you who don’t know… it’s terrifying. When you’ve been working in the corporate world for your whole adult life/15+ years, deciding not to keep on the corporate track, to take a swing and follow your dream, …
Well baby leave is over. Went back to work months ago, and no, I didn’t finishing editing my manuscript before. Alas, I spent more of my time enjoying my new daughter. 🙂 Now I’ve been back a little over 2 months, and there have been some hurtles, including an extended …
A lot has happened in the past year since I’ve posted, haha! Understatement of the century. But these are the big things:
SKYELIGHTS“Only from the heart can you touch the sky.” — Rumi It’s been a busy month and a half since I lasted posted! We had a nice getaway weekend to Banner Elk, NC with what we call our “DC Family”. Within that we have 3 girls who are only five …
