I'm up late again tonight, under another writing deadline. I knew this year would be a year of major adjustment. See, I'm a people person, high-energy, and a bit ADD. The transition for me is learning how to be a writer. Making the time, being consistent, and finding the creativity.
After quite some time of wondering if I'd ever get a book contract, about a year ago four came flying through the door. No kidding. It's quite the lesson on never giving up. I'm really loving writing because I'm writing about my passion, not what someone else wants me to be passionate about. That gives me the energy to make time to do the above. If you're on the writing journey, a little advice: write, write, write! No matter how bad your writing seems, or how little creativity flows. Writing is an art form, like great wine it gets better with time. The character begins to emerge, the flavors become smoother and more succulent, and the fruit leaps when it hits your palate! There are many "wanna-be" writers, but only true artists take the time to learn the craft, be consistent, and go to their writing caves in order for something great to emerge. All the best to you on the journey. Now go write!
