One of my early practices while I wrote books is reading the process of writing by successful authors. I’d scour the internet for interviews, articles, blog posts of authors I admired or who have demonstrated a skill that propelled them to success. Even reading authors who have a modicum of success is important. It’s great to read their trajectory from a new author to a prolific published author. Writing Is Essential provides author interviews and of the authors who edited this book, as well. This is a great resource to re-center your writing process with advice and methodology that has worked for others. By Rosemary.
