I follow this author’s blog and she offers invaluable advice for aspiring and beginning authors. I highly recommend this book and fully intend to get my copy as soon as it is released!
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! My writer’s handbook, “Writing for You: A Novelist’s Guide to the Craft of Fiction” releases on amazon.com.
The ebook version will be on sale for a week for just 2.99, though the real list price I will set at 4.99, so make sure you get your copy right away to save.
Today, I wanted to share the first part of the preface with you guys. It explains who I am, why I compiled “Writing for You” from my blog posts, and what the purpose of the book is.
So, here goes. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!
PREFACE
If you’re reading this preface, then you’ve either bought my book or you’re considering buying it, and I’d like to thank you either way for giving me the chance to speak to you, from the heart and from my experience, about creative writing.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Catherine! I am so happy that anything I post is of help for any other writers and especially for the debut, or new writer. That is why I created this blog. At first it was just going to be a book review blog for new writers. I still intend for it to be a review blog, however the data has shown that most people would prefer articles and personal information about the joys and pitfalls of beginning to write as well. So, I’m going to do both. Any suggestions for what you would like to be included are very welcome. I will go over to your blog and read your essay. Congratulations on entering the contest and the best of luck to you! 🙂
I think what you blog about is so important too! There are tons of blogs out there about alcohol, drugs, quitting smoking, along with so many other addictions, but not too many that deal with gambling addiction. So many people don’t consider it an addiction. I know I didn’t. I just thought that I enjoyed going out and having a good time. After a while though, I realized I wasn’t–having a good time I mean. I would spend every last dime and then hated myself. I know, I have been there. Carry on with your message, my friend. It is a good message for everyone. 🙂
