The panel discusses what led them to writing books; their approaches to the art, craft and promotion of writing; and more.  

Goals

– Jessica: Commit to writing something small every day

Final Thoughts

– Melody: If you have a book in you, don’t let it sit

– Jessica: There is nothing wrong with perfectionism – work with it, don’t let it stop you from writing

– Scott: Find the yes! If you believe in what you are doing, talk to whomever you need to until you find the yes
