Start From Where? By Linda Trout

Wherever you are…start from there! **

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been writing for a week, month, 10 years or more. No matter where you are, start from that point and then move forward.

In the current day and age of self publishing, you may be tempted to throw something up there willy-nilly. Yes, you’re impatient to see your name on a book cover. I know the feeling, too. Do yourself a favor and wait until you’ve had others check the manuscript for you, preferably professionals. You have to learn the craft and hone your skills before you can produce a truly unique and quality product.

No matter where we are in our writing career, there is always someone who writes better or has achieved more than you have. You aren’t competing with everyone else, though, you’re competing against yourself. Or should be.

I have a lot of sayings to help motivate myself, but I like this one the best.

Inch by inch it’s a cinch; by the yard it’s hard; and by the mile it’s impossible.

Think about it.

Then inch your way to success.

About the book:

Emily Redfern's ex-fiancé learned to kill on the back streets of New York. Now, she is his target. Broke, exhausted, and a step ahead of the man she once loved, she clings to one last hope: the wilds of Alaska. The quiet safety of her hide-a-way becomes addictive as she grows to care for the man who offers her refuge.

Released from prison after a wrongful conviction, native Alaskan Sam Tarkington is determined to regain his business, repair his reputation, and rebuild his life. But when he meets a desperate and vulnerable woman, guarding secrets of her own, she tugs at his heart. She's a distraction he can't afford. Sam must choose Emily or achieving his dreams.

Like Emily's life, the peacefulness of the wilderness is an illusion as danger lurks in the distance. Does Sam hold the key to her survival or will her past cost them everything?
