Writing Tip Example

Picture
Truth: You can start writing a book without really knowing who your character is and how they need to change, but... will you write the right book for them? Even if you are a discovery writer it helps to spend at least a little time thinking about who your character is, what they want, what they need, how they act and how their life needs to change. If you are a plotter or a planster spend some time writing things down about your character. You will be glad you did!

Writer Life Tip #1: Go to Writing Conferences!

Top 7 reasons Writing conferences are a good thing!
1. There is always something to learn about writing and publishing no matter where you are in your writing journey.
2. Meeting others who have done it not only gives you a good positive vibe, but they can also chat with you about your situation with your writing and hopefully have some good advice.
3. Writers need writer friends!! 
4. Often there is a book signing. So you can purchase books and get them signed by the amazing presenters
5.They boost creativity and motivation.
6. You might learn something you never thought to learn before.
7. Networking with agents, editors and writing pros.

Writers Life Tip #2: Participate in Nanowrimo

National Novel Writing MonthAKA: NaNoWriMo

This isn't a conference but it is a huge writing event that takes place every November where the whole goal is to get you writing! You should totally check it out. I've been a participant since 2015 and I love how it helps me finish books and how it gets me writing everyday.

Writer's Life Tip #3: Find your Tribe

If you are a new writer find a writing community that you love. Writers often feel like they are alone but you don't have to be alone. 
There are a lot of other writers out there looking for writing friends, find them and help each other reach your dreams!Keep searching until you find your writing tribe. It's worth it.


Here are a few of my favorite Writing Communities.
1. The Writing Gals
2. 20bookto 50K
3. Storymakers
4. ANWA (American Night Writers Association)
5. Writing and Illustrating for young readers (WIFYR)
6. (SCBWI) Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators
