Write for yourself. Write and write and write and when the words don't come, read and read and read. It'll help you work out what kind of writer you do or don't want to be.
When you're ready to put your work out there, grow a thick skin and prepare for the trolls. Either roll with the comments or ignore. It's hard not to take it personally but try. If the criticism is constructive, take it on board and learn from it.

Hi Lesley. First I would like to thank and congratulate you for the excellent book. I've read all Carnage series, and it is simply amazing. A story that involves you and does not make you want to stop reading. I was moved to tears many times. In the final part of the 3.5 you entered the son of that bastard Rocco, is there any chance that comes a book about it? Thank you!

This isn't a question Ms. Jones, I just wanted to let you know exactly how much your Carnage books have touched me. They remain my number 1 favorite romantic books ever. I am a Family and Marital Therapist by trade and some days I feel like I have given up hope on the existence of love. That is when I try to find something that is able to relight my beliefs in love and happy endings? Thank you!
