I love your site. I find your bio interesting as I am in the same boat you once paddled. I am a journalist who would love to make the jump to novel writing. Was it hard to make the transition?
hello, Caretaker! Interesting you should ask – I still do some journalism, but am aware I have had to unlearn some journalistic habits to write fiction. I am preparing a post on this very subject, in fact – so stay tuned. And thank you for your compliments.
I also love your website. The post about beginning & the difficulty of finishing a book is great. It is difficult.
Good Luck!
P.s. Years ago, I would have thought: good grief! I don’t need to wish her luck! She has so much work under her belt; I’m the one who needs good luck.
But experience has shown me that every time you begin a new work it is a struggle as if you have never done it before. So I leave you my hopes that you do wonderful rewarding work.
I randomly stumbled over your blog, and I realized, I have your book on my Kindle! I’m trying to write a story, but it’s not going anywhere right now. I’m just thirteen, though. I’m planning out some of the characters and plot, though.
Hi!! I have found you through Julie Stock’s page! She linked your article about giveaways! I am looking forward to following you, as I am in the middle of editing and rewriting my manuscript!! 🙂
The short version: I write books. And I help others write theirs.
Nail Your Novel

Thank you, Linda! You’re right – every book feels like a raw beginner. Same to you!

Wanted to preserve the sense of mystery. What you can’t see is the cat on my knee. It’s white and it plots evil things 🙂
