Here’s the thing about writing; there are a lot of tips on the how-to.
Tips on how to structure your day around writing (Tackle it first-thing in the morning! Do a little every day!);
Tips on becoming a writer (Set aside a creative space! Write down everything you hear and see! Carry your notebook everywhere!);
And tips on navigating the publishing world in this digital era (Establish yourself as a writer first! Prepare your QUERY letter before your book! Start up your social presence to find success!).
In some cases, tips can be a screenshot from Pinterest or a quote from one of the Greats. But they can also be books, articles, more books, more articles. In other words, there are far too many tips; all of which serve as distractions. I can write my original work all day, read all the tips I can, but all of it puts off the final step. The most important step. Sharing the writing.
I can hole up on my chair, in front of my laptop all day, but if my intent is to create a story, a place, a moment that connects with someone, draws someone in, immerses them, then I need to share the stories. I need a reader.
So welcome, and thank you.
Welcome to the first place I’m proudly sharing my own writing, and thank you for reading.
