Eight secrets writers wont tell you

 by Ranjith
 A few years ago, I’d look at published writers and think that they were somehow different from me. After all, their books were gripping and fluent – unlike my stumbling attempts at first drafts. Their blogs had hundreds or thousands of readers.
They were real writers. And, deep down, I was afraid that I could never really become one of them.

    Hi Erika, so glad you stopped by. And, yes, just getting it all out there for the first draft seems to be a better idea than spending time trying to make it look pretty. Good thing to remember.

    Hi Nancy,

    You have a fabulous blog! I’m an author and illustrator and I made some awards to give to fellow bloggers whose sites I enjoy. I want to award you with the Creative Blog Award for all the hard work you do!

    I invite you to follow me since we have a lot in common, but no pressure. I’m not giving you the award just so you will follow me. You really do deserve it!
    Take care:-)

    Go to http://astorybookworld.blogspot.com/p/awards.html and pick up your award.

    I'm happy about that. It's so nice when writers can learn from each other (I'm assuming you are a writer or a wannabe). Thanks for commenting.
