Pick me! Pick me! (but make it quick, quick, quick.)

Do you have a burning desire to tell a story and see your name in print? Will writing a novel (whether published or not) tick that little to-do off your bucket list?

This week I am guest blogger on ABC Open talking about “When Writers Rally” and hoping to encourage aspiring writers to consider their path to publication like the tortoise, rather than the hare.

With the internet rapidly changing the face of publishing there’s a sense of urgency in the air. It seems almost anyone can publish a book these days. But how can we do that burning desire justice? How proud (or JK Rowling rich) your final product will make you might just be a matter of how you approach the task.
