Writing is an art form no matter how much we have to dabble in the business side of things.Marsha Sigmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11095210839900479297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-19144089423792465332009-07-24T10:43:36.340-05:002009-07-24T10:43:36.340-05:00I began writing romance in the 90s, when paranorma...I began writing romance in the 90s, when paranormal was a no-no. Publishers all said stay away from writing it. A friend of my mom's, Sherrilyn Kenyon (who eventually joined our little RWA group) was plugging away at her paranormals and next thing I knew, the paranormal genre burst wide open and Sherrilyn became a best-selling author. Since then I've firmly believed in ignoring what the industry says to write and not to write because I believe if you really want to be successful, you write the book of your heart. If you follow everyone else, you may have success but you'll never be the best you can be.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
