Random Art Class

So, I ended up on an artist’s newsletter list— and I think I discovered her on Substack but I have no idea really.

She has an online, self-directed sketching class for beginnings.

Now, I know writers sometimes relieve writer’s block by exercising other art forms or trying new things. This class is reasonably price and I like the way the teacher organizes the structure. I have not ordered it, and I’m not much of an artist, but I bookmarked it and wanted to share it with you.

For less than $100, you can try something new, at home, and not even worry about embarrassing yourself.

Random Scrivener Knock-off

I also heard about this FREE open source (is that what they call it?) software, NovelWriter, that mimics Scrivener. It might have been another recommendation from Jane Friedman’s Hot Sheet. If you write in scenes versus beginning to end, and you don’t have the cash for Scrivener or you want to try this alternative way to compose your book, check it out.
