Far be it for me to offer advice, but I was asked and here is my answer…
Passion, persistence, perfection, perseverance, and patience in any order you choose. There are no shortcuts, only hard work, much self-flagellation, and always uncertainty. Writing can be a lonely enterprise. Listen to the readers. Put your ego in check. Be humble and have a thick skin. Writing a book is a 24/7 thing. It may make you crazy in the head but it will make you happy in the heart!
The Other Mrs. Samson will be released on February 15, 2021!
