Good luck on your writing journey! I've written seriously for the last 10 years after a 7 year hiatus trying to learn how to write a novel that never got finished. My first published novel, Electromagnetic Assault, https://brucelanday.com/books-and-writing/ a near future military political techno-thriller is releasing on April 7th. I'm going through another huge learning curve on publishing, social media, and marketing. Everyday is something new. My latest challenges includes getting book reviews and becoming a podcast guest on multiple podcasts. In May I'll be a speaker at the Lakefly Writers Conference in Oshkosh. In my professional life I ran training classes and was a speaker at a professional conference on data analytics. This will be the first time I'll be a conference speaker for a writing topic.
I see you're a fellow Wisconsin writer. I also think highly of Kim Suhr. I'm a member of the Wisconsin Writers Association and the Chicago Writers. Tap into these networks. Both are paying off for me now that I'm publishing. One of my top priorities now in between all the marking stuff is writing my next book.
Congratulations on what you've accomplished so far. If I can pass on one piece of advice I received from other professional authors, be relentless. Keep showing up and never quit. You'll get there, whatever "there" means to you.
Thank you so much! I love that advice, “be relentless.” I think authors truly have to be on their journey. Congrats on the book!! I’ll make sure to check it out
