Sharpened Words

A hub for storytellers

How to use this blog

This blog is structured with a number system relating to the section or “unit” and the posts within that unit. These are as follows:

Unit 1.00 Characters

Unit 2.00 World Building

Unit 3.00 Plot and Craft

Unit 4.00 Querying

Unit 5.00 Community Building

1.01 would therefore be the first blog post within the unit for Characters. You can navigate based on whatever subject most interests you!

A podcast version of this blog is also coming soon, hosted by the editor, T. V. Pinkard and author Eran Shimazu!
