I’ve been writing now for about nine years. I must enjoy it because, if I considered it work making the minimum wage is still an aspiration. But it’s not about the money is it? Not that I’m saying making a bit wouldn’t be nice and there’s always hope. When I began writing I paid for some editorial advice. For the first book it was great, pointing out some of the traps I guess many new writers fall into. It also educated me in the basics around construction, writing dialogue and more. For the second book it was less helpful, however what it did teach was to value my own opinion.
Over the years I’ve taken a couple of on-line courses, read books and blogs on writing, all the time trying to improve my craft and make myself a better writer. However, what does that mean? Recently, I’ve been revising several new books, going back over my work numerous times. It has even had me looking back at my published books with an effort to improve the writing.
