Tip O'Day for Authors #160

Guest blogger Linda Boulanger says her writing tip is…wait for it…wait for it…to write!
Sounds simple, I know, but what I’m referring to is less about honing your skills and more that if people like your work, as soon as they finish one, they will want another. Yes, you have to promote and give each piece of work its due, but at the same time, get busy on the next one. Be prepared and don't be afraid to put them out there!
Dixon says: I like the Sidonie Gabrielle quotation, “Writing only leads to more writing.”

  1. Nothing truer has been said in so few words! Great post...and I agree with the quote wholeheartedly...I started writing a year ago and I just can't stop! Thankfully, I love to write!

  2. I was resistant to the adage, "The best way to promote your current book is to write another." I didn't want to write another book until my current one had sold a certain number. I wanted to know there was an audience for my works. But, there's a very good point in the tip above: If people like what I've written they may want more. If there's nothing more...then they may move on to another author and forget about me.
