To the above question yes I am serious. I am serious about my writing, even if I have to squeeze in a few sentences here and there in my busy days. However, recently I have come to realize that I can't just be serious about my writing. I have to show that I am serious about the business of being a writer and being published.
While reading the many editor/author blogs out there I have come across more than a few that recommend showing my serious ambitions on being published by joining writing associations that correlate to my genre of writing. I would love to join SWBCI and other associations, I really would, but at this point in time it just isn't financially possible to do so. It is placed on my "Saving For" list that I have generated. I will join because I believe it to be a invaluable source of information and an incredible resource tool for young adult authors.
Until then I will remain focused and centered on my writing and continue to try to improve my skills. I know that one day I will not only be a member of the various associations but I will be a PUBLISHED member of those associations.
