Especially when the same publishers insist they're after something fresh and new.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835072059437630166.post-3013060334296155152010-09-22T03:28:12.656-07:002010-09-22T03:28:12.656-07:00Passion rules.

Number one - write from the heart and it will be so good that eventually they will not be able to ignore you however hard they try. get a database of fans - I am one! - and build that up; keep to what YOU know is good although make sure you get advice and thoughts from everybody! You already do that! never put down another writer but hold true to what you do and develop your style. Embrace ridiculous ideas adn thoughts and other ways of writing even if it is not your instinct - that way you will be even surer about what your style is doen the last full stop - or if you are going over the Pond - period! <br />Where is your local radio station? get on it - get interveiwed by local papers/ magazines.

I believe in what you do - ironically I think Luke will be your calling card, much as I would like it to be Georgia! You have to sex up how you sell you and your books. focus on that when the pen has temporarily dried up - your brain will start throwing out ideas. Dismiss none at first thought - gradually assimilate how others are going to see oyu and your writing xxxJanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475921622769265471noreply@blogger.com
