Kendall Reviews recently asked me to write a guest post, and since I’ve recently finished writing my first novel, it seemed to be a subject in which I could offer some advice. So rather than talking about my favorite short stories or records to write to, I tried to use my experience for good. If you’re in the first-novel trenches or thinking about beginning, I hope something here might be useful. Thanks to Kendall Reviews for sharing whatever wisdom is rattling around in my head.
