I was interviewed by Teri Polen as part of her "Indie Author Friday" series on Friday September 8th 2017. If you want to check it out, you can read my interview here.

Whether you plan it or not, your life experiences will influence your writing. However, if you want to conciously write about real events, here are some things to think about when deciding whether to write memoir or fiction.
Do you write for children like I do? If so, here's a post that explains the difference between the various children's literature genres.
No matter what age you write for though, when it comes to fiction writing, you may want to consider this advice on naming people and places, as well as these tips on how to handle those times when stories run alongside each other. Also, here's some advice on what to do when YAY becomes YUCK.
Regardless of whether you write fiction or non-fiction, you need to consider your setting, and think about the best way to bring it to life. Dialogue matters too.
As you probably already know, as well as children's stories, I write poetry. If you're a poet too, here are some tips on how to write a Tanka poem in English, for any fellow poets out there who want to have a go, but aren't sure how to do it.
No matter what it is you write, if you've taken a longer writing break than you planned to and are having some trouble getting back in to your writing, here's how to reboot your writing.
By the way, if you plan to do some guest posts, or plan to host others on your blog, you may want to read the tips in this post on guesting and hosting.
Before I end this week's post, I'd like to remind any fellow writers out there who are feeling jealous of another writer's success that there are things you can do instead of feeling jealous. Some writers may make it look like their path to success was simple, but they were all where you were at some point.
