WAKE UP AND WRITE
If You Have Something to Say, Say It
And don’t be afraid to explore other avenues
Wake Up and Write is a regular advice column from Moms Don’t Have Time to Write. Today, we have Jennifer Dahlberg — the author of Uptown & Down and Lagging Indicators— who shared writing advice on the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, hosted by Zibby Owens.
“Read a lot.”
“I know that’s always what other writers say, but you gain so much from reading and exploring the different styles that are out there.
I also think it’s about discipline as well. There are so many distractions nowadays. Even during lockdown, when there was nothing else to do, it was hard to concentrate. But you need to believe in yourself and believe in what you have to say and commit to that. There are other avenues out there too.
I’m still a big proponent of traditional publishing, for sure.
But if you have something to say, don’t be afraid to explore other avenues.”
