Candace Havens was firm - don't allow yourself to get distracted - just write!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve just staggered out of the RWA conference here in New York. The staggering part is due to exhaustion \u2013 not anything else!! Although there was a bit of that too\u2026<\/p>\n

So much happened this week that I’m going to take a little while to process it all in my head. But a few things have inserted themselves into my mind like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 Feel free to put rubbish on the screen. Write the boring bits if you want to. Just go back and fix it all later.\u00a0\u00a0 Susan Elizabeth Phillips. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u2026 There are only three rules 1 \u2013 read. 2 \u2013 write. 3 \u2013 don’t stop. \u00a0Diana Gabaldon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2026 Whenever there has been great change \u2013 from clay tablets to papyrus to paper and the printing press and now to digital, all that has ever happened is that the industry and the market and the audience has gotten bigger.\u00a0 Steve Berry<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2026 Never forget that writers are special. Crazy, yes, but still special.\u00a0 Madeline Hunter <\/a><\/p>\n

As for Sherrilyn Kenyon’s <\/a>luncheon speech \u2013 I doubt there was one person among the 2,000 present who wasn’t moved by the story of her struggle against fate and personal tragedy to reach the best-seller lists. Her words to everyone who has ever reached for a dream\u2026<\/p>\n

…\u00a0 just don’t give up. Ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
