Throughout my writing process, if there was one thing that I learned (aside from Word always red-lining your name) is that you truly can’t depend on a single tool (I’m so looking at MS Word right now) to catch all the mistakes, and I’ve made my share, I promise.
There is no doubt that authors are a weird breed. But what’s weirder is that some common mistakes happen all the time. For lack of a better term, a mistake happens only once. So, by studying these steps and researching the mistakes that common authors make all the time, you are already setting yourself apart. In this blog, I’ll be talking about 3 common author mistakes. Are there more than 3? Most definitely. But I want to keep this at a smaller length. Don’t forget you can always contact me or leave a comment and I promise to get back to you as fast as humanely possible (I’m not human).
I always struggled to get my creative juices flowing. Thankfully, I think the more an author writes the better they get with these things.

It’s very important to keep going on about your life when you are working on a book for many reasons, but most importantly, what do you do when you hit that brick wall that doesn’t seem to fade or give in to time? Well, here are 3 ways to get your creative juices flowing again.

One of the questions that I get sometimes, is how to create complex characters that don’t all sound the same, and if you’re wondering (but Mo, it’s just text! What is this sound you speak of) I hope you had …
For this week’s post, I thought I would… Oh right… I guess I have to explain why I missed a couple of blogs right? Okay… Here goes… Pokemon Go. Alright, now that we got that out of the way, let’s …
