Living Like a Story
Hi everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. In today’s post, I talk a little bit about stories, their structures, and how both have helped me to look at life a little bit differently. I hope you enjoy!

My Writing Goals My Current WIP I’m over 90,000 words into my first draft of “Project Airship” as I’ve been calling it for a while now.
