Writing Tip #1

So it just came to my attention that maybe I could use my powers for good and offer some writing tips (WHY I never thought of doing this before on my blog is BEYOND me), so here is my first tip for any and all writers. Keep in mind, this is MY opinion, and to me, it's the right one, but to others it could possibly NOT be (and obviously they know nothing). Anyway! Here it is:

Find your voice and hone it. It is your gift to the world of readers. At first you may stumble, try different ones, and fail indefinitely in your quest to capture your true writing style, but when you find the one that fits you, you'll know it. Because, well, you'll write better. Mine is kind of snarky at times, and of course, funny, and even maudlin. But it's ME. You'll get yours too.

  1. Thank you so much for the advice! I think my biggest stumbling block as a writer is my absolutely horrible lack of organization. Once in a while I surprise myself and get something done, but most of the time I have piles of unfinished projects everywhere. That includes my writing. I have about a dozen storylines going on at the same time, and they don't even have their own notebooks. It's all slammed together. One of these days I'll surprise the hell out of myself and my family (4 kids and hubby) and get my act together...Anyway, keep up the good work! :)
