Writing Takes Time

Most people think of writing as a hobby.  Something to do when you're bored or don't have anything better to do.  But writing is more than putting an idea down on paper.  It's drawing a reader in, making the story come alive with words.  It's writing-not telling a story, but showing a story.  And a job that will make a forty hour work week seem like child's play.
The advice any writer working on trying to be publish is...WRITE.  The first draft doesn't have to be perfect...that's what editing is for.  Learn to love it-even when you hate it.
New authors (ME!) who are on the verge of being published or have their first published work out whether in e-format or in print didn't have their first work published or even considered for publication unless they were extremely talented AND lucky.
