I came across David L. Robbins's article, Advice To Aspiring Writers early in my writing career while I was working on my first novel. At the time, I didn't know if my writing was marketable or if I would be fortunate enough to get published. One thing for sure, I had found my passion. David's article summed everything up for me.

Whether you are aspiring or a seasoned author, you won't be able to read this piece and not be moved to write.

I loved the article, it was really uplifting. You can feel his enthusiasm, passion and sincerity in trying to help and encourage other authors.

Sorry I missed the discussion tonight, something came up with the book that required immediate attention...hopefully it will go to print on Monday...woohoo!

Thank you for the link. I am impressed by his advice and by Murder by 4. I hope one day to join the ranks of the published. It is so heartwarming to know that other writers are supportive. Thank you so much! namaste
