Welcome back, Alex! It's always good to have you visit. Do you think
blogging is important for writers/authors? If so,why?
Thanks, Karen! I think blogging is still important. It’s a platform that provides both
friends and readers a way to connect. They don’t have to be a blogger or part
of any social site to read what we write. Plus a good blog post can generate
thousands of new visitors, exposing us to even more potential readers. The best part is still the connection of writers and authors within the
blogging community.
Blogging is a good way to connect with readers and writers. It has so many benefits. :) Now that you have several books to your credit, what would you have appreciated knowing before you completed your first
one?
A few grammar rules come to mind…I’d say knowing how much this journey was going to change my life. But
then again, the only way to appreciate that is to go through it.
True words. Do you believe that fiction techniques can apply to non fiction writing?
How so?
Fiction means enticing readers and drawing them in. That translates well
to non-fiction, because then you can spice up a potentially bland subject.
Those elements of intrigue, suspense, and humor help non-fiction as well.
Drawing readers in is a good thing! If you could offer one piece of writing advice, what would it be?
Stay true to yourself. Don’t bend the way you write or your values just
to sell.
Wise words to live by, that's for sure. What's next for you - any more books in the works?
My short story, CassaDawn, just came out on December 6. And there’s
still one more of my books coming out on audio this month – Dragon of the
Stars. Otherwise, I have another story outline I’m kicking around. Focusing on
the Insecure Writers' Support Group and my music takes a lot of time though. I never planned past my first
book, so anything else I produce is just bonus at this point!
Congrats on CassaDawn and the audiobook as well! Thanks for visiting with us again. Wishing you much success!
