edit data

Annabelle McCormack writes historical romantic fiction, fantasy romance, and contemporary romance packed with sprawling adventures, epic love, and soulmates who just can’t stay away from each other (even when the world is falling apart). If there’s a sweeping love story with high stakes and deep emotions, she’s probably writing it—or at least dreaming about it while chasing down her next cup of coffee.

When she’s not wrangling words, she’s wrangling five home-schooled kids, a couple of dogs, and an unreasonable amount of books in Maryland. If life had more hours (and less laundry), she’d be traveling, painting, or becoming a professional pastry chef. For now, she’s content with baking, reading, lifting heavy things at the gym, and plotting h ...more

1) Take some time to learn the craft of writing. Writing that looks effortless is usually some of the most finely tuned—and if you have knowledge about craft, it will go a long way to support your ideas. Find good books or workshops or webinars on topics like structure, plot, and character and be a sponge for knowledge about the craft of writing. It will help set your writing apart.

2) Write what you love. There’s a lot of advice out there about writing to market or people who want to transform your stories into something they aren't. Personally, I think passion translates not only to the enthusiasm we have for promoting our ideas but also can sustain you when you’re dealing with some of the hard parts about writing (like writer’s block or the difficulties of publishing).

3)Be humble and willing to accept critique from valuable critics. Not everyone is equipped to offer you writing advice but when someone who really knows their stuff gives you advice, listen. It’s rare that a qualified person gives a critique with the intention to hurt your feelings or doesn’t care about seeing you succeed. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own way.

4)Be persistent.

5)There are many different, wonderful paths to publication. Don't get so caught up in the what that you forget the why: to share your stories with others. No matter what path you take, all of it is a long game so be patient.

Good luck!!(less)
