This week's lesson is for the fiction writers, memoir writers, children’s book writers, and storytellers in the room. Watch this short lesson by Nalo Hopkinson: How to write descriptively — Nalo Hopkinson https://youtu.be/RSoRzTtwgP4?si=NyWGS4wiHxOMwXTq The main idea is powerful: Good writing does not only tell the reader what happened. It helps the reader enter the moment. As writers, we want readers to feel like they are inside the scene, not watching it from far away. That means we have to think about: What can the reader see? What can the reader hear? What can the reader feel? What can the reader smell? What small detail makes the moment feel real? Your Challenge Take one simple sentence from your story, chapter, memoir, or idea and make it more vivid. Start with something simple like: She walked into the room. Then rewrite it so we can feel the scene. For example: She stepped into the quiet room, the wooden floor creaking beneath her feet as the scent of old books and rain filled the air. Now try yours. Comment below with: 1. Your original sentence 2. Your revised sentence 3. One thing you noticed when you rewrote it Boss Writer Lesson: Description is not about adding more words.

Think Like a Boss Writer A lot of writers think the problem is discipline. They tell themselves: “I need to write more.”“I need to be more consistent.”I need to stop procrastinating.” And sometimes that is true. But sometimes the real issue is not discipline. Sometimes the real issue is direction. When your book idea is unclear, writing feels heavy. You keep starting and stopping because you are trying to build on something that has not been fully shaped yet. Before you force yourself to write another chapter, ask yourself: What is this book really about? Who am I writing this for? What problem, question, story, or transformation does this book address? Why does this book matter right now? A Boss Writer does not just write because they have an idea. A Boss Writer builds with clarity. Your book idea does not have to be perfect, but it does need direction. Boss Writer Reflection: Where do you need more clarity right now: your topic, your audience, your message, or your structure?

Midweek Boss Writer Check-In ✍🏾 Sometimes the strength of a book idea is not just in whether it sounds good. It is in whether it has direction, a clear audience, and the potential to meet a real need. So let’s talk about it. Which book idea feels stronger to you? A. A book about rebuilding your life after a major setback B. A book teaching women how to set boundaries without guilt There is no pressure to overthink it. Just choose the one you believe has stronger potential and tell us why. Comment A or B + why below. One of the lessons here is that sometimes it is worth reviewing our book ideas before and even while writing.

What looked like the right idea at first may need to be refined. And sometimes one small adjustment can make the concept much stronger. Let’s discuss. 👇🏾
