Today I’m over at the Contemporary Romance Cafe discussing writing advice I wish I’d know back then. Here’s a little excerpt:
Writers are some of the most generous souls I’ve met. Indie authors especially so. They are willing to open up a vein a share the lifeblood of their success. The lessons they learned at great cost, in terms of both time and expense. All one must do is ask. In minutes you’ll get a ton of responses to your question about the craft and business of writing.
However, the only problem with so much information being shared is that some writers approach each tidbit of wisdom as if it were Gospel.
It isn’t.
It’s probably really good advice, and maybe it works for 90% of the people 99% of the time. Still, it doesn’t mean it will work for you.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me over at the Cafe to discuss some of the writing advice you’ve received. I’d love to see you there and hear about the writing advice that works for you, the advice you tried, but flopped or how you’ve adapted someone else’s advice to fit your own unique writing style.

FYI, your links in this post aren’t working correctly. I tried clicking to go to Contemporary Romance Cafe article but it wouldn’t take me there. I went anyway, by manually typing in the URL.
Enjoyed your article and tips over there. Left a comment, too.
Hey Demetria! Thanks for your comment here and at the Cafe. And thanks for your note about the links. I can’t believe I did that. Duh! It’s all fixed now.
