Molly Noble Bull
My name is Molly Noble Bull, and some might call me a Genre Jumper. Why? Because I enjoy writing everything from sweet romances, to westerns, to long historical novels set in Europe, to scary Christian Gothics, to books for children, to non-fiction, and everything in life seems to inspire me, especially interesting settings.
One of those interesting setting was the cattle ranch I lived on as a child and young adult. You see, my father and my grandfather were ranch managers, real Texas cowboys. and they inspired me.
I spent part of my growing up years on a sixty thousand acre cattle ranch in South Texas, and from time to time fiction writers have asked me questions about cowboys and ranches in order to write western novels. Many of the settings via my newest Christian western, When the Cowboy Rides Away, came from memories birthed in my childhood, living on a big cattle ranch in Texas.

. Fiction writing is specialized and might not be what you learn in a general creative writng class in high school or college. Many creative writing instructors are simply teachers. You need to learn from other novelists.
. Read books on fiction writing and study them carefully. It takes time to become a successful novelist--years, and it is very unlikely that your first novel will sell unless you publish it yourself. Don't. Wait until you are ready, but don't throw away that first novel either. Save it. There will come a time when you will be able to fix it and possibly sell it to a publisher.
. Don't get hurt when others say that your book stinks. Listen to what is said and learn.
. And never, never, never give up.
