Hey friends! During a recent reread of LOTR, there was one particular scene that absolutely took my breath away: the final page of the “Siege of Gondor.”

The scene in question—Gandalf’s confrontation with the Lord of the Nazgul at the gates of Minas Tirith, followed by the sound of horns blowing in the distance as Rohan arrives at last—is unquestionably one of the most powerful scenes in the entire trilogy.

I wanted to know: how did Tolkien pull off such a powerful moment? I decided to take a closer look at that passage and find out—and wow, there were so many insights waiting for me! I hope you will enjoy this one as much as I did.

P.S. I’m currently editing another similar video (a close reading of the Charge of Pelennor Fields!), which I’m hoping to have posted in the next few days. So stay tuned for part two! 🫶

Hey friends! Since wrapping up the full draft of Project Amaranth, I've spent the last few weeks exploring and plotting out a brand-new writing project: the SEQUEL!

Obviously I vlogged the whole thing so we could do it together! 🫶 So, in my latest writing vlog, I'm sharing the full behind-the-scenes process of how I turned my ideas into a structured outline—including gathering ideas, writing a synopsis, and creating a full “plot grid” style outline. Grab a cuppa tea and let's jump into it!

P.S. Cast your vote! Which code name should I use for the Project Amaranth sequel? 👇

🌑 Project OBSIDIAN
🌙 Project CRESCENT
👀 Something else entirely (Share your idea below!)

For most of us writers, coming up with ideas is the easy part. You have a story idea, you're excited about it—but how in the world do you actually get the story out of your head and onto paper?

In my latest video, I’ve put together my 10 best practical, productive tips for how to (actually) get the writing done! I hope this inspires you to jump back into your novel. 🫶

Cheers!
