Dear fellow writer,
Welcome back to Swordcraft, my series of short, sharp weekly videos for writers who want to grow their writing practice and hone their wordcraft, one swordsnip at a time.
In last week’s post I introduced you to the Wayfinder, a playful yet powerful interactive tool for anyone who aspires to write more stylishly, productively, creatively, confidently, joyfully, or simply more.
This week’s video leads you down the Road to Style, one of the eight distinctive Discovery Paths — the others are Wordcraft, Community, Creativity, Pleasure, Resilience, Productivity, and Structure — that I’ve created to help academic and professional writers navigate the major highways, serendipitous side roads, and hidden treasures of the WriteSPACE.
Paid subscribers will find a link to a guest version of the Wayfinder at the bottom of this post, and WriteSPACE and WS Studio members can access the full suite of Wayfinder resources in their membership area.
