Practicing what I Preach. Read a Book, Write a Review.

Thank you so much for taking the time to not only read my nearly 500 page book but also reviewing it so honestly. I too am surprised and delighted to have a man’s perspective on the story. Now I feel much more credible as part of the family here and hopefully I’ve passed my final exam for entry into into this awesome community of writers. 🙂

One thing to tell you about me and the rest of us here at LitWorldInterviews (LWI) is we are going to be honest, even about our own family and by family that includes the LWI Team members. Why, because if we’re not then we might as well not even be doing this at all.

Danger Bad Advice Ahead

The problem with writing advice is that every writer is different. This leads to lots of advice being passed around, often with the type of reverence reserved for holy scripture, that may be of limited use, or at worst, incredibly harmful to a new writer. Following on from my Ten Most Valuable Writing Tips I’ve Received, I thought I’d share the ten worst. Again, this very subjective. I’m sure there will be one or two tips listed here that some of you swear by (or according to number 3, by which some of you swear). The best advice a writer can receive is to go with what works for you. The following definitely didn’t work for me.

Write what you know

This is an incredibly frustrating piece of advice. We have been blessed with a wonderful imagination yet when starting out as a writer you’re told to stick to what you know. How many wonderful…

Sometimes we all need a fun distraction from the usual brain drain of life. Today, between preparing for my 30 minute author spotlight on Facebook tonight in the Celebration of Authors event, grocery shopping, doing mounds of laundry, watching football while I await game three of the ALDS and making homemade pot pies, I found …
