How This Guide Can Help You

Rather than being a "how to write" guide, this is a resource collection of links to some of Jami's most helpful articles for those new to storytelling.

  • How can we discover what works for us?
  • How can we improve our skills?
  • How can we develop a character who deserves a story?
  • How does our plot contribute to the bigger story?
  • Even if you're completely new to writing, this guide will help you start off with the right attitude for embracing your ability to learn and improve — not just for your writing, but also for your storytelling.

Hi, I'm Jami, and I'm pathologically helpful.

So when I first started learning about writing over a decade ago, I blogged to share all the tips, tricks, and advice I thought might help others. Years later, I now have over 1000 posts about writing on my website — which is great, but also a little overwhelming for those new to writing.

That's where this guide comes in.
