Welcome to Myers Fiction!
Hi, my nugs, I’m Kenneth W. Myers, a fiction author and writing advice enthusiast. I love to share the fictional worlds I create and also encourage others to share their own. Before you go much further, you can select either reader or writer below to go to the page focused on what you’re searching for. Or you can select from the main menu above.
I started this blog in 2018 to share my writing in a different format, but it’s slowly turned into a writing advice website as well. I don’t have the one right way to write, but I offer a way that allows for a less constrictive writing style.
Please feel free to comment on posts, offer feedback, and send requests via my contact page. Thank you for reading and as always, keep learning, keep writing, and stay fresh!
