Practice because the more you write the more skilled you will become. Also it might be a good idea to join a critique group, but it should be one that fits you and your writing. Not all critique groups will help you. Hope this helps. :)(less)

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?

Unfortunately, if you're targeting publishers, rejection is a big part of this business and it can be discouraging. But now, there is indie publishing or self publishing. This puts you 100% in charge of your career. You still have to learn the craft of writing and learn how to put out top quality books. Regardless of how much competition there is (and there is a lot), if you put your heart and soul into your stories, learn how to write great stories that readers love, and be persistent, you can make it happen. To earn a living as an indie published author, you have to be a self-starter and also learn to motivate yourself. Plus, you have to love what you do, both the writing and the promoting. Since 2011, this is the best time for authors in history. I'm wishing you the best of luck! :)(less)

Quotes by Vonda Sinclair (?)

“She tasted of salvation and damnation at once. No woman had ever lured him to forget who he was…forget his past, his future, and fill him with the need to have her no matter the cost to his soul.”
― Vonda Sinclair, My Fierce Highlander

“Gwyneth.
He passed her name through his thoughts a hundred times a day. He wanted to say her name, whisper it into her ear. But that would imply an intimacy they didn’t share.”
― Vonda Sinclair, My Fierce Highlander

“He propped his cane up, placed his arm on the wall beside her and leaned casually, close to her. Closer than was proper. Her womanly essence sent his thoughts scattering. “Gwyneth, I wonder, have you ever had a kiss that near took your breath away?”
Her cheeks reddened even more.
“I confess, just the thought of kissing you the way I would like does that to me.”
― Vonda Sinclair, My Fierce Highlander

Haven't yet read your books, but since I have Scottish Highlander -- and Lowlander/Border ancestry-- I've been curious. Have a great day.
