The Second Story
Hello, my name is Hilary Layne. I've been writing stories and studying stories as long as I've been able to read. With this channel I'll be collecting everything I've learned about storytelling, worldbuilding, character development, and general writing tips and advice. If any of that sounds interesting to you, pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and join me! My current novel is available to read on my website. I'll be publishing it serially until it's done.The links to read it are below. You can read it and subscribe to new chapters on my website.
