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?

Hi Cintia,
All you can do is write the best book you know how. Then write another one and another one. Writers write, despite the odds. And those who persist and continue to improve are the ones who make it in the end.
My advice would also be to join a writing group that centers around your genre of choice - so much support in these groups and motivation to keep going when everything seems too hard.
Hope that helps.
All the best for 2018!

Hello! I don't know how often you check in at GR but I thought I would give it a shot :-) How can I get my eyes on your novella "Their Baby Bond"? I've tried every which way but illegally, lol, & I can't find it. I know it was released with a couple of other novellas but I can't find that either. When all else fails, maybe ask the author? Love a lot of your books and I hope I can read this one, too. Happy Holidays

Hi Amy! I am very interested in reading your soon-to-be-released "Some Girls Do" but I wondered if you could answer a question for me. Does either the hero or heroine date/have sex with others during the couple of years he is watching over her in the city? Thanks in advance!
