All roads lead to…KEEP WRITING

Good morning, friends and followers!!

The following is an excerpt from an interview I gave to WOW back in May after placing Honorable Mention in their Flash Fiction contest. They asked me for advice to new writers and I was happy to share some encouragement.

Kill your darlings when necessary. Join a critique group. Keep writing. Edit some more. Remember that the road to publishing is paved with rejection letters. Cry a little bit. Develop a thicker skin. Edit a little more. Submit a little more. Polish your work to a high shine. Seek out other writers. Edit. Polish. Submit. And above all…

KEEP WRITING!
