I guess I\u2019ve lived long enough to learn a few lessons. One of them has come to light this week\u2014that when one thing changes many things change. <\/p>\n
As you know, we are in the midst of a big transition here at SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists and Writers Network). We are getting a new website and new officers all at the same time. And you might be surprised at the things that are changing as a result. Nothing seems to fit where it was before. Practically every detail of policy and process is changing before our eyes.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve recently started pursuing a writing career or you have decided to write a book, you are probably experiencing something quite similar. You\u2019re making lifestyle changes. You may be hanging out with different people (your former friends don\u2019t understand a writer\u2019s passion and challenges). Your paycheck may have diminished\u2014hopefully temporarily. <\/p>\n
You\u2019re on a different plane. You find yourself living inside your characters part of the time or you see the whole world through a researcher\u2019s eyes. Some might consider you to be obsessed with the subject or time-period of your book, or simply the process of writing.<\/p>\n
Your schedule has changed, your thought processes have changed and so have your sleeping and eating habits. You\u2019re losing your tan and developing repetitive stress syndrome. You\u2019re discovering that writing can be all encompassing. And, if you\u2019re like most writers, you are loving it! <\/p>\n
I\u2019m off to conduct a workshop on publishing today. So that\u2019s where my head is. I\u2019ll report my experience in tomorrow\u2019s blog post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
