5 Ways to Identify Your Writing Weaknesses (and Become a Better Writer)

The Idea That Isn’t a Story Yet
A world is not a story — a premise is closer to one. On why A Perfectly Useless War changed shape completely, why the other book didn't need to, and how to tell which kind of idea you're actually holding.https://sterlingvancebooks.wordpress.com/2026/08/18/the-idea-that-isnt-a-story-yet/

2/3 So I mentally created a secret third thing and called it 'hobby treated seriously.'
For this, I:
- Protect my writing time like a pro
- Take writing retreats with my buddy
- Invest in tools (like Scrivener)
- Take days off work to write
- It’s not a job, but it’s not just a pastime eitherDo you have a hobby that demands this level of commitment?

Instead, it felt like someone had quietly taken the jumble in my head and helped me see what I was trying to say. What did I feel after my first interaction with Claude? Relief, unease or both? Mostly […]https://shahblog1.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/the-blank-page-and-an-unexpected-conversation/

AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.

I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about.

Recently someone asked me to describe my writing process. Since I’ve
just started the third book in my mystery series, I don’t know that I
have anything resembling a “process” yet. I try something, and if it
doesn’t work I try something else. But there’s been one constant from
the beginning. -
4/5 Try to work past your writer's block for a full hour.
Brainstorm, write down questions, shuffle post-it notes. Stare into the wall. Pace through the room like a Sherlock Holmes.
Be dramatic. -
