Having the passion to write was never a problem for me.
Making the time to write, however, was a challenge—but only until I made it a priority!
About three years ago, I began writing a novel.
It was clear to me that, without committing myself to a daily writing regimen, I would never achieve my goal.
So I began going to my regular job at 6:30 a.m. and leaving at 3:30 p.m. Fortunately, my job allowed me this flexibility.
Between 3:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., my time was devoted to writing. And has been ever since. I finished the novel.
Then wrote a novella.

Whitney Peckman–Why Do I Write and What Is My Process?

Leave a Comment / ... anjuellefloyd ..., Articles & Essays, Why Do I Write ... /

“Why Do You Write and What’s Your Process? ”
The group asks the question.

Answers flutter in – something like butterflies in the height of summer pirouetting from bloom to bloom, overlapping one another, dodging, racing, touching petal with fragile hairs, drawing nectar up and in…searching. I am the writing butterfly.

I flit from story to story, sometimes finishing them, often not, grabbing bits of time here and there, starting anew, hoping to recall the thought left mid-sentence when my cramped legs call for stretching.

My life is pure creative expenditure.

[Writer’s Digest]–“What’s the most important change happening in the publishing industry right now that’s impacting the future of the author-agent relationship?”

[Agent–Paige Wheeler of Folio Literary Management]: “The change in the delivery mechanism is huge. Barriers of entry to publishing are down, and authors are able to make (their work) available to anyone with an Internet connection. It’s still a small percentage of the business, but it’s growing. ..the two biggest obstacles to success seem to be spectacular editorial content and the market capability to reach a vast audience. At Folio, we’ve been exploring opportunities (for) providing outside services (marketing, speakers services, licensing, apps) to really serve (authors’) needs.”

–Evolution of the Literary Agent, Writer’s Digest, October 2010

Agent, Paige Wheeler’s response to the question presented by the interviewer from Writer’s Digest gives a succinct summary of the new world of publishing that is available to writers and authors in connecting with readers.

Of Agents, Publishing and Writers…

Leave a Comment / Articles and Essays /

I recently read an article in the October 2010 Issue of Writer’s Digest Magazine.

While it bears the title, Evolution of the Literary Agent, one could easily substitute the word Publishing, for Literary Agent and the title would remain consistent with the content, if not more in line with and indicative of the topic(s) discussed and information given.

The four literary agents interviewed in the article, and their responses and comments leave much for any author, whether seasoned and financially successful or just starting out, to consider and ponder.
