Rewriting Isn’t Starting Over - It’s Digging Deeper 1:13

5d ago1:13

Rewriting gets a bad reputation. Writers worry that revising means scrapping everything and starting from scratch. It feels like a setback, like all that time and effort didn’t count. But rewriting isn’t erasing—it’s uncovering. Connect with me: https://www.jimhansenmedia.comBy Jim Hansen

The First Line Is A Door, Not A Destination. 1:29

Writers obsess over the first line. We want it to be perfect. We want it to hook, to sing, to carry the weight of the whole piece. But that’s a lot to ask of a single sentence. The truth is, the first line is a door. It doesn’t need to do everything. It doesn’t need to be the final version of itself. It just needs to open the way. Connect with me: …

There’s a moment I come back to a lot when I’m writing a character. It’s not the moment they save the day, or fall in love, or say something profound in the rain. It’s the moment just before that—when they want to bolt. They are—unequivocally—uncomfortable. And that, I’ve learned, is usually where the story begins. Connect with me: https://www.jimh…

The Lines You Cut Out, Still Matter To Your Story. 1:43

17d ago1:43

1:43

Writing is about choices. You put words on the page, you shape them, and then, more often than not, you cut them. It’s easy to think those cut lines are wasted effort. You delete them and move on, and they disappear from the piece. But they still matter. Connect with me: https://www.jimhansenmedia.com…

You hit save. You read it back. And immediately—ugh. It’s clunky. It rambles. It sounds nothing like what you meant. That little voice in your head starts up: This is bad. Why did I even write this?
