New Beginnings
Seven years ago publishing a book was something I only dreamed of doing, but with the help of my RWA chapter sisters, and Token Dude, I am set to release a romantic suspense novel in August of 2014. My local chapter has provided me with an enviable education and critique partners who have managed to not only tolerate my sarcastic wit, but have taught me to sharpen it.
Understanding my limitations, as well as my talents, has taken more time and patience than I thought possible. For me, having a professional editor and proofreader is a must. If I type a boo-boo, a boo-boo it will remain until someone points it out to me. While working with critique partners, I learned I have a talent for brainstorming. Not all of the storms in my brain are good ones, but being able to help someone else dig down deep and develop an idea is priceless.
For all of the potential writers out there, the best advice I can give you is to not go it alone. Find a local writers group and confess your deep, dark desire to write. Believe it or not, no one will laugh. They'll tell you to pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
Until next time,
Tia
