Author Tip 101: Never Stop
KaylaAnn, an inspiring and motivated writer always willing to help other writers. She has unbelievable energy and in her words “Being an author means never giving up and never stopping.”
So, they tell me you want to be an author . . .
That means you should be doing 1 of 5 things: brainstorming a new story, writing/drafting, editing, researching publishing houses (or self-publishing methods), sending our query letters or submissions.
One of my favorite creative writers, Derek Updegraff once said:
Keep writing. You are a writer, not a submitter. Once you’ve written pieces and submitted them for publication, forget about them and start writing something new.

Your energy, your hair, that, yes, that curve ... My pulse is crowding my temples. My lungs are drawing in fire. Surely I will cease to exist if I can't speak your name. Someone speaks ... My mind is lost, floating. "What?" "Is that seat taken?" "Oh, no, no ... Leave me alone with my thoughts, don't even breathe. My heart races, surely I am exposed I'm giddy, drunk.
