Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to author, Terry Trueman, talk about the struggles and trials he went through in his life, which gave him the inspiration to write Stuck in Neutral which became a Printz Honor Book. I also got the chance to learn from Mark McVeigh, an agent from NY.
TIP FOR THE DAY
The tip for the day comes from Terry Trueman. When asked what main things helped him to become the author he is today he listed three things.
TALENT
PERSEVERANCE
LUCK
The more you write the more your talent develops, perseverance includes hard work and dedication and luck, though don't expect things to just fall in your lap. You need to make contacts, put yourself out there, and of course you ms, and you will eventually get lucky.
More tips from this workshop will be posted in days to follow. Please comment to let me know if this is helpful and what you would like to know.
