Monday Motivation-What Kind of Author Are You?
As this quote suggests there are good and bad authors, which one are you going to be?

Be as specific as you can when you write fiction. People read for that emotional fix so give them something to be emotional about whether it’s fear, anger, or pure joy.
Monday Motivation-Just My Imagination
Try this as a simple writing warm up. Free write for ten minutes. Get out on the screen or on paper what’s in your imagination. It doesn’t have to make sense, a sentence here, a thought there…it’s for your eyes only.

Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t write, that trying to get a book published is harder than winning the lottery. Stick with it, believe in yourself and the magic will happen.
