Sherry Briscoe I'm an avid reader and pick up one book right after another. I post reviews on the books I read every month on my website www.sherrybriscoe.com. Right now I'm reading the most delightful cozy mystery by N.C. Lewis. I love love love her writing!
Sherry Briscoe I would most certainly head for Hogwarts! Get sorted into my class and put my things away in my room.
Sherry Briscoe Meditation is medicine for the soul. I meditate regularly, and it was during a meditation a few years back, that the idea for the Ninth Miracle trilogy was presented to me. And I knew then, I had to write it.
The key is to be open to what the universe has to show us. I never assume I know all the answers, or try to control what it is I'm going to write. Instead I am always open to the stories that need to be written.
Sherry Briscoe There are a few key steps that are important for aspiring writers.
1. Do as Stephen King recommends in his book On Writing, which is "write a lot and read a lot". I didn't understand the significance of reading other work at first, but I guarantee, it does make a difference.
2. Take some creative writing classes, go to writing conferences, read books on the craft.
3. Connect with other writers. Join a critique group, writing groups, be around other creative people.
I do teach quite a few workshops, so watch my website to see where I'll be presenting next.
And good luck.
Sherry Briscoe Forgotten Lives is the first book in the Ninth Miracle trilogy. I'm currently doing the final editing on Shattered Souls, which is the second book in the trilogy.
