Craft of Writing starts with a spark of idea. Maybe it's always been there in the fabric of your mind. When ready it is a specialty to churn out a story well with prefect expression. Do you have an idea notepad? A journal? Do you have a technique or just grab what you have nearest to you and available in the kitchen or bookshelf?
Quite a few of us are aspiring writers while many are established or just published their first works. Tell us how you went about publishing your first work? What kind of work did you publish? Do you have another career, and also a family? How did you juggle everything else?
For most it there are life changes as we dabble with the dream, to create a story, something to put it in print and seeing your name on the shelf. Publishing and getting your name out there has seemed to change. Now you can simply have an interview and post it on Tik Tok to promote your books. Is it still necessary to have an agent?
Some have to go the route of self publishing, to which it maybe the case for someone who writes and draws, or paints to make it appealing for someone to purchase and buy the book. After all the art of writing is also the art of selling your book. My genre is Celtic Fantasy by the way. I have three books, the last one on the illustrations phase. Not even AI could churn out what is in the soul.
The art of writing is a journey. I have been following this author a bit.
