Romy Gemmell talks today on the Snarkology blog, about never giving up, wise time management, and learning as much as possible about the craft and business of writing.
She has a solid, basic list I want to quote here:
“If I might offer a few of suggestions to aspiring writers it would be:
Join a writing group of some kind if possible.
Experiment with different forms of writing as we often don’t know what most suits our voice until we try it.
Read everything, especially genres you might not have read before.
Never, ever give up. Circumstances and commitments can change but you are in charge of your creativity and it expands with use.”
