As writers, this is the day we long for. Release day! Our baby is out there in the world now. Heck, we’ve practically shoved it out the door. And yet, we instantly want to protect it, hold it, keep it safe from people who might pick on it. So how do we as writers develop a thick skin when the reviews start rolling in?

Six months? Impossible, right? No. Nothing’s impossible if you’re willing to work for it. So ask yourself: how bad do you want it?

If you’ve noticed I’ve been MIA recently, it’s because I’m currently writing a novel in six months, and that’s on top of a full-time job that keeps me away from home for ten days at a time.

Even with your job, and your family, and your desire to maintain your sanity, you can do it too. Here’s how: [Read more…] about How To Write A Book In 6 Months
