Visit my website at:

if you’re a wannabe writer or author, Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone who you are…
https://be.freelancersunion.org/f/member/38867</a
don’t join any social media forums, discussions, groups
do not keyword your press releases nor SEO (search engine optimize) them, either…
do hide your manuscripts in a drawer and be sure to lock it with a key and then lose the key or throw it in the ocean
do not join any writer’s group
best not send out any query letters
do no research and read no magazines or newspapers or books
let the literary agents and publishers pass you by
score no ink
procrastinate galore
drink lots of tea and coffee and sit in pubs and tell the world about your latest writing project
moan, complain and tell the world how unfair it is
get a job that leaves you no time to write
play with the dog, kids, video games
marry a foreigner and move to another country where you do not speak the language
go live on Gilligan’s Island (or Tom Hanks Castaway) …
and Heavens to Betsy
scamper back to your manual typewriter, dungeon or basement and wait for the world to come running to your door…
