Only one more month until my first Novella, Wingless, is released. I’m so excited I’m celebrating with writing another manuscript! I’m following the advice of my favorite writer- Jeaniene Frost.
“My writing advice is simple – write. The more you write, the better you’ll get at it. Read a lot. Be prepared to revise your novel, because revising is part of the process. But until you’ve finished a novel and really gone over it several times, don’t look for an agent. Write first. Make sure you love it. Then jump into the publishing world
”
So I’m writing again, in my never-ending quest to be a great author. My current manuscript is a series of shorts the first one tentatively titled “The Shadow Fan.” I do hope to one day be able to meet my favorite author and have her go- “Shelley Martin? Aren’t you the author that wrote…”
That would be so cool 😉









Congratulations. And that’s great advice. It is one of the core principals that guide my writing.
Hi, totally agree. The writing’s gotta come first, and everything else a distant second. (But don’t tell the husbo and kids, LOL)
Yes 🙂 I always feel chaeted if I haven’t written something in a day.
I love Jeaniene Frost! And I totally agree with her about staying at it. Though, I confess, I have gone more than a few days not writing, but that is only when I’m plotting another book. Sometimes you do need perspective and distance from a story. 🙂
