I've gotten to know a number of readers from being online, and really treasure the time I've spent with them.
From Nora Roberts
I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
I read a lot - and I read a variety of genres.
Mary Stewart will always be my goddess. I can pick up one of her early books - one I've read a dozen times - and still slide right into the story.
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
I believe strongly in writing groups such as Romance Writers Of America that offer support, information and networking.
Every writer has to figure out what works best - and often has to select and discard different tools before they find the one that fits.
You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.
I do indeed write on the road. My laptop goes with me everywhere.
