TOOLS of the Trade
Scrivener
Literature & Latte designed this piece of software to be everything: a ring-binder for your story bible, a word processer you can draft out-of-order in, and a corkboard. It changed my writing life.
Scrivener Template
I mostly use this Scrivener template because I like the icons and it aligns well with my own writing process. Scrivener itself is amazing at how much you can change within the project’s framework.
Writing Mastery
I can’t remember when I joined, but I don’t regret it. There’s a full suite of courses, including revision, productivity hacks, and publishing your completed novel to major publishers and how to self-publish.
DIY Book Covers
Derek Murphey creates some amazing shit. I made Trickster with this. It’s an online tool that gives you Photoshop-level quality and professional genre templates to play with.
Archetypal Character Arcs
K.M. Weiland created an extensive blog series on the “life cycle” of archetypal character arcs, from coming-of-age stories to the inevitable end of surrendering power.
The One Page Novel Course
I took this course as a bit of fun, but I enjoyed it so much I come back to it when I want to write shorter stories. It’s a genius method of creating an entire core plot on one page.
BUSINESS & BEYOND
Personal Faves
Botanical Oracle Cards
I’ll be honest, I bought this for the pretty pictures, but I love using it.
Medusa Snake Necklace
If the neckline’s right, and I need to dress up, I wear this necklace.
Uniball Signo Gel Pen
I love the look of fountain pen ink without having to change cartridges.

I write dark urban fantasy stories for people looking for worlds with wit, a little magic, and the consequences of terrible decisions.
