Maybe you’ve been working on the same story for years. You’re exhausted, over it, and sick of that one scene (you know which one). Yet you can’t give up. So you go in circles – writing, editing, revising, restarting – all so you can see your book on the shelf one day.

my jaw dropped a few times during the conference. I've had so many incorrect assumptions, and if I hadn't gone to the conference, I wouldn't know any of this stuff, which could jeopardize my chances at getting published. Now I'm sharing these things with you!

Writer’s conferences are good opportunities to learn, network, and even pitch to agents. This conference in particular allowed me an 8-minute pitch session with an agent.

The number of writing resources can be overwhelming, and you may not know where to start or which is best for you. In this post, I will detail ways you can learn how to write better so you can determine which route or routes are best for you.
