Myths and Misconceptions - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

An actual depiction of my writing day...NOT! LOL!

Hey! I’m back…finally. We had a wonderful three week holiday in March, but then I caught a nasty head cold and am just getting back to whatever normal is these days.

Which means I’m back for the Blog Hop!

This week’s topic:

What common mistakes or misunderstandings do readers have about authors? What myths or half-truths do you find yourself hearing again and again?

What non-author/writers often don’t understand is that I have to write the story I can—and want to—write. Everyone once in a while, someone says to me “You should write XYZ story. I would definitely read that.” And they are often right – their idea would be a good story. But it isn’t a story that speaks to me, so I just nod and smile.
​
I think another misconception is all the hard work is done once the book is written. Let me tell you, for me at least, that’s just when things are getting started. I often do three or four drafts of a story, based on my own opinions and those of my beta readers and critique partners. And that’s just the writing part. I’m not even talking about cover design and formatting and promoting and marketing and all those other “non-writing” things an independent author needs to do.

Now hop on over to PG Forte to discover what myths she has encountered!
