Always have fresh experiences so you have fresh content to include and influence your writing. 2) Write the story. No preaching, no worries about themes or word count. Trust the power of the story. After it is roughly put down, the natural themes appear. Write first. Polish after you know the project works. As with raising children, the writing often turns out 50 percent as anticipated, and the rest takes on a direction of its own.  3) Readers are not fond of being told what they must, should, or need to be, do, or think. They prefer to watch how things work out and then apply what fits in their own life. Don't save anything for the next book. The reader can sense when a writer withheld. Give your best and your all. Pour out, and the Lord refills you for the next project. Quick Guides to Writing Well Set - check this out!!!What Listeners Will Gain – when they buy your bookGiveaway - https://authorpswells.myshopify.com/products/preorder-cohen-code-with-bonus-set-5-quick-guides-to-writinghttps://authorpswells.myshopify.com/products/preorder-cohen-code-get-3-bonus-novelsYou can find out more below:SOCIAL LINKS:Preorder Cohen Code, and be the first to read the next novel in the Marc Wayne Action Adventure seriesPeggySueWells.comChasing SunriseThe PatentSecrecy OrderUnnatural Cause, best mystery suspense of the yearThe Ten Best Decisions A Single Mom Can Make SingleMomCircle.com Visit Your Best Writing Life website.Join our Facebook group, Your Best Writing LifeYour host - Linda Goldfarb#4 Podcast 2026 "Million Podcasts Top 30 Christian Writers Podcasts"#1 Podcast 2024 "Top 50+ Must-Have Tools and Resources for Christian Writers.Awarded the Spark Media 2023 Fan Favorites Best Solo PodcastAwarded the Spark Media 2022 Most Binge-Worthy Podcast
