Hello, A.G. I was wondering if you could give three tips or lessons for someone aspiring to become a writer? How did you become successful? And what was your professional career path?
A.G. Riddle
Hi Anastasia,
You can find my top three recommendations for beginning writers on my website at: http://www.agriddle.com/q/My-advice-t...
Briefly, they are:
#1. Don't let anyone else define success for you.
#2. Invest in yourself.
#3. Invest in your work.
I was a web developer and started my first company in college. I started several over a ten-year career, but fiction was always my first love. When I had some financial security, I wrote my first novel (took me two years). I've been doing it since.
Good luck!

I like the fact vs fiction on your website but you cite to wiki, which it is not a proper source according to Harvard or my daughter who is a science teacher and lectures me on it. Can you direct me to an acceptable citeable source on the volcano/pandameic relationship? (I am half way through Pandemic and enjoying it too, although all thriller and no sci-fi.)
