Sorry, for the brief post, but I’m in revision mode and trying to get back on schedule, (somewhat.) Oh, and another thing—Amber over at Brown Bombshell Beauty did a wonderful write-up of Unbeweaveable. Brown Bombshell Beauty is just what the title implies—a blog dedicated to the beauty of brown-skinned women. They always have great tips on hair, make-up, fitness and more. Check it out here.
Lately, I’ve been thinking—how many books does it take to no longer call yourself a newbie? Three? Four? Ten? Is a newbie measured by the books they’ve written or how many years it took to write those books?
I ask this question because as I’m revising my next novel, I see my improvement and the growth I’ve developed as a writer over the years. I’m still learning my craft, but I see my voice getting stronger and stronger. With all this, would I still call myself a newbie? In a lot of ways, yes. I do feel that I’ve learned a lot with two books under my belt, so I would say that I am a senior newbie, approaching graduation. Still in school, still learning, but definitely older and wiser than her freshmen counterparts.
Something to think about as I approach another rest-filled weekend. Thanks for all the well wishes as I recover, you guys have been great. Okay, now back to work!
