10 Things I Learned Along My Writing Journey
/
There have been a lot of lessons learned along my writing journey, and I am sure that there are more to come. Here’s my list of the top ten so far.
Don’t give up. Keep writing.
Treat your writing like a business.
Guard your writing time. It’s precious.
Find your crew to help you celebrate and get through the rough times.
Keep your biography and your headshot current.
Write your synopsis and marketing documents after you finish a round of editing. Your characters and story will be fresh in your mind.
Keep a up to date character list for your book and series.
Record dates, contacts, and key information when you agree to do something, and keep your calendar up to date.
Keep good records. Keep all your receipts. Tax time always seems to be around the corner.
When you type “the end,” put down your manuscript for a few days before you start editing and revising.
