On another note, did you know that agents and publishers expect your manuscript to meet their criteria? You can't just use whatever size and type of font that rings your bell. You can't use color to help you make your point. BECAUSE before you send that baby in, it has to meet the publisher or agent's standards. So check them out and use those standards to write your story.
Writing Resources
I love writing, but I also love teaching writing and encouraging or coaching other writers. This part of my website is the natural outgrowth of that passion.
From time-to-time, I will add information or websites that I hope other writers might find useful, like this one from Purdue University:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/creative_writing/index.html
The owl at the beginning of the URL mean Online Writing Lab and it is the creation of Purdue University. This particular part of their site is the introduction to Creative Writing resources. If you look to your left, you will see just a glimpse of all the great resources available to you here.
Keep watching because I will add more resources, mostly dependent on either what I need or what my students need.
Creative and Memoir Writing
We are nearing the end of our Spring semester so, as those of you in the Zoom class will remember, I am giving you a number of online resources right now. Think of it as a reference library to be used as you continue writing. I know that many of you write as fast as you can to get them all down...but here they are.

Listen to your work. Have someone else read it to you, so you have a sense of how it sounds, the flow and the rhythm of the work. When you read it yourself, you may miss these things.
