“A novel is a marathon, so pace yourself.
Break it into manageable chunks—
and celebrate small victories.”

Author confession:

I just finished a standalone psychological thriller, and I'd much rather write a standalone thriller than a series.

What do you prefer?

In the publishing biz, nobody knows what the next "hit" is going to be. And you won't know until you fling it out there.

Get off the internet, go outside, tilt your face toward the sun, walk through the park or sit at an outdoor cafe and watch the foot traffic, it's going to be okay...

until you write it down.
The act of writing forces you

How to tell someone is a writer:
Carries around a notebook & pen.
Listens more than speaks.
Quotes other writers.
Ink on fingers.
Thick skin.
