Your Poetry: Reimagined Contest Results
Only four people submitted to this contest ( five if you count the one that dropped out ) so I decided there wouldn't be any 'runner's up' placements as it would seem pretty awkward to be the only one. This means all four contestants are coming away with $10 at the very least just for submitting a piece.

CASTLING BEATS: Developing Characters through Music!
It's become a part of my novel writing process to create a dedicated playlist that fits the themes, characters, and atmosphere of the project. Doesn't matter the genre or category; if it's got world-building and characters, a curated playlist is going to be manifested onto my Spotify account.

CASTLING: The Novel that Refuses to Quit. Runner-Up in New Year, New Projects Challenge.
Novel writing is a whole different beast to the short, snappy stories you generally find online. With Vocal we can dive into a story, finish it, and say goodbye all within short order, but a novel? Writing a book takes months, if not years of non-stop work.
