Just a note…

by JM

Sara said in a recent comment that she liked how I was educating unpublished writers.

I just wanted to say that I’d like this blog to be what I would have loved to have when I was just starting out writing. When I was starting out, I felt completely lost and didn’t know where to go. This blog may jump around a bit, but like my notes back in those days, you can take what you want and organize it as you please later on.

This is my passion, but it took me a long time to get to the level I’m at, and I still have a lot of levels to go. However, if someone is trying out fiction writing and it could end up being his/her passion, I want to do all I can to help.

I spent too many years trying to find my passion/niche/”thing” to not help anyone else trying to find theirs.

I’m putting this offer out there: Email me or post a comment, but you can let me know anytime if you need help with anything associated with fiction writing. Be it a question about a character or something you’d like me to do a blog post on to see what my opinion is, I’m here and I’d be more than happy to do it.

Write on, and cheers, mates.

    That is just the goal I have for my (now our) Yahoo group. I want to educate, uplift and reach out to writers around the world. It’s great that you are willing to help other writers by sharing what you have learned so far.

    One of the best things you can do with knowledge is share it. :)
