Seeking learning opportunities and sharing my work with others was not only validating, but also hugely instrumental in helping me grow as a writer.
I started attending conferences and soon joined an in-person critique group in my area. However, one of the biggest changes in my journey began when I made the decision to put myself out there and connect with other writers. I didn’t tell many people I was writing a book at first because I was afraid of what they might think or that I might never succeed. All I knew was that I had this very big goal and I wanted to do my best to achieve it. I’ve loved to write for as long as I can remember, but when I first started writing a book, I had very little confidence in myself as a storyteller. I began writing with the intent of getting traditionally published shortly after leaving the teaching profession to stay home with my kids in 2010. When you look back on your writing journey, what are the changes that stand out? Ginny Myers Sain‘s novel, Dark and Shallow Lies was published by Razorbill/Penguin on September 7, 2021.
