Writer in Motion 2022 Is Here and I’m Baaack (Kind of)

October 3, 2022 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 3 Comments

It's been about two months since I wrote my last blog post here. Happy Fall, everyone! Reports of my dematerialization have been greatly exaggerated. What happened? Well, I took an unplanned but necessary hiatus. In my last couple posts, I mentioned I had a sense of incipient burnout on the writing front. At the same … Continue reading Writer in Motion 2022 Is Here and I’m Baaack (Kind of)

Welcome back to week 3 of the Writer in Motion event, in which a too-busy-by-choice author attempts to make sense of the ALL VIBES NO PLOT words that sprang from her own head... This week, the participants in the challenge were assigned a small critique partner group and exchanged stories. My CPs all brought their … Continue reading Writer in Motion 2021, Week 3: CP Edits

Welcome back to Week 2 of Writer In Motion! This week, participating writers self-edit the first draft posted last week.

WIM 2021: Unedited First Draft

July 14, 2021November 22, 2021 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 4 Comments

Sometimes, writing inspiration seems to come through you in a near-revelatory process. But what happens when you finish transcribing, but you still don’t know exactly what the story is trying to say? I’m about to find out, because that’s exactly what has happened with this first stab at my Writer In Motion short. This story...whew. … Continue reading WIM 2021: Unedited First Draft

September 5, 2020November 22, 2021 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 1 Comment

Well, that's a wrap! The Writer in Motion 2020 blog project draws to a close this week, and though I'm now swamped with revisions for Pitch Wars (not to mention wedding planning) I have to say that I'm a bit sad that this communal adventure in story-telling and editing is over. A month ago when … Continue reading #WriterInMotion Week 5: Final Thoughts

Our Writer In Motion journey is drawing to a close. Not to sound like a broken record, but I am so happy that I joined in with this blog project! I benefited so much from the opportunity to connect with fellow writers, the experience of receiving and giving CP edits, and the privilege of reading my cohort's beautiful stories.

#WriterInMotion Week 3 – CP Edit: The Witch of Blue Ridge

August 16, 2020November 22, 2021 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 2 Comments

Week 3 is already upon us! My critique partners and I started this round a bit early, as we all had our self-edited drafts ready to go. I'm so grateful to my CPs for their help in this round of the Writer In Motion event. I was nervous about the process, since this was my first time doing the event, but I had no reason to be. In fact, everyone I've met and interacted with through WIM has been incredibly kind, talented, and friendly.
