For the unpubbed author, there is nothing better than finding people who support and encourage you.
People who teach and guide you.
People who tell you the truth, critique with love, and have a snarky sense of humor.
Ruth Logan Herne has been one of those people for me!
One of the fabulous fifteen of Seekerville, Ruthy has made an amazing hit into the published world since her first book Winter’s End came out in March 2010, Ruthy has successfully released FIVE more books with many more to come! Her novels have consistently received excellent reviews and Winter’s End is a finalist in the American Christian Fiction Writer’s Carol Awards this year (I plan to CHEER in person!!! Probably annoyingly loudly. Go, Ruthy!!)
So, without further ado, what are Ruthy’s top three conference tips?
Write.
Write.
Write.
Everything else is extraneous.
Fluff.
Window-dressing.
Frosting.
Can’t make a cake without flour…
Writing’s your flour. THe basic ingredient.
Simple, yet profound. Thanks Ruthy.
Without words on a page, there’s little chance of publication – so….we have some work to do. 🙂
