I have always had a voracious curiosity and loved doing creative things. The combination of the two has resulted in a lifetime of experiences. From the mundane to the ridiculous to the sublime, I've pretty much run the gamut. At one point in time I sold cemetery plots - that didn't last long - and I've also been a professional actor, my most notable role being Eliana on the soap opera Days of Our Lives for nearly seven and a half years. But books have always been my passion and I started writing in earnest in 1997, although I have been writing all of my adult life. I think entertaining people is one of the most important things one can do. When you're having a bad day, when your heart gets broken, when things seem bleak, you can always find ...more

If you don't like to read, you'll never be a good writer. Have fun when you write because if you don't enjoy yourself, people won't enjoy reading what you've written.

Don't be concerned with whether or not what you've written is good - just get it down on (virtual) paper and it'll take care of itself. You'll go over what you've written many times and you'll keep some things, jettison others and expand on others.

Keep a notepad and a pen handy for when you get a jolt of inspiration and write it down.

Most of all, be true to yourself when writing. Don't try to be someone else. It's okay to model yourself after a favorite author, but don't try to be that author. You have your own unique voice. Let it shine.

Happy writing! (less)

message 2: by Ann

Ann Werner Glad to! I'm not as active as I'd like to be because I'm trying to finish editing my newest novel and get it ready for a January release - on top of working full time and doing all the social media stuff one has to do to get ahead. Not to mention writing blogs, editing things for our other two non-fiction books. Exhausting!I need another me. Or just to be able to quit my day job!
