On the fourth Tuesday of every month, we gather for the ProWritingAid Write-In. You're invited to join us as we work through short writing prompts and share together for feedback, focussing on a different area of the writing process each month. Whether you work on pieces of your ongoing writing project, or come up with new concepts and ideas for every prompt, every writer is welcome.
Hayley Milliman
Hayley is thrilled to be ProWritingAid's Content Lead and Head of Learning, as it gives her an excuse to think deeply about words every single day. Prior to joining ProWritingAid, Hayley spent a number of years as an elementary school teacher, which was a crash course in learning how to entertain an indifferent audience. These days, she puts her storytelling skills to use writing blog articles and working on her first novel.

January 26: Outlining Your Novel
Before you start writing, you need some kind of plan. Even if you're not the type to plan every last detail, having an idea of where your story is going will speed up the writing process and help you to make sure that every scene counts. Planners and pantsers are all welcome here!
February 23: Writing Engaging Dialogue
