Although I haven’t officially started writing my first novel, I’ll be keeping these in mind. Especially #1!
Month: April 2013
Fiction 365
Each day Fiction 365 posts a new short story so if you have a few moments, you can read a story!
I hope I remember this if and when I get published
I stumbled upon this post via Facebook. http://www.maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/debut-author-lessons-hate-mail/ It reminds me a little bit about when I used to post my stories for critque on an online website and the very first story I ever wrote, got a less than great review. I suspected the person didn’t honestly know what they talking about because they kept using literary terms that when I looked them up, didn’t jive with the context they used them in. Since the other critques were helpful and more positive, I took it with a grain of salt but I was still royally upset for several days. I know people won’t like everything I write for a variety or reasons because as a reader, I don’t like everything I read including works by my favorite authors.
