First Reviews

by Seraphine Abrams

My first reviews were not encouraging. I was so sad when I read my first 5 reviews after a giveaway. I almost cried and stopped writing for a while. Unfortunately, you’re not always going to get it right the first time. These reviews were from total strangers that didn’t hold back their dislikes, comments, and suggestions. Note: They were not rude. It was just not the feedback I expected after putting my work out there. It took me a while to shake it off and continue writing. So if you just wrote a short story, novel, etc… and people don’t instantly love it? Don’t worry, just learn, adapt and don’t give up. Most if not all best-selling authors have gone through it. They didn’t give up and neither should you. Especially if there’s a story you wish to share.

Inspiration & Writers Block

by Seraphine Abrams

Writer’s Block

I am not an exception to writer’s block. Hence the large gap between publications. Well, what can I say about it? It’s frustrating and disappointing. I’ve had my share of it. We all wish we could dish out 3 books in three months and continue writing with the determination and speed of a train, not losing focus, and making each page better than the last. UNFORTUNATELY, that’s rarely the case. My advice? Don’t give up, be patient, and be positive. Sometimes reading your work can inspire you to continue writing. Other times, its peoples desire to know more, questions about your work, and comments (good and bad) can ignite the fire once again. Hope this helps!

Inspiration

Inspiration can come in many forms and while doing just about anything. I remember when I got my first idea for Kane And The Elven Realms. I was talking with my best friends at a holiday gathering about the current book series we were reading. I casually said, ” wouldn’t be great if the characters had more special abilities and they were even more beautiful?” That was all it took! It began gnawing at me, urging me to start writing. A few months later I wrote my first three chapters. I then sent them over to my besties. The feedback was great but I was still not convinced it would develop into a full blown story. Another time, I was in the theatre watching Avatar and BAM! I got another idea. For me music plays a great part in my inspiration process. I usually have my favorite tunes playing in the background as I write my ideas down. I believe that the best writers are the ones that can transport you to their world, make you excited, sad, and often feel the characters’ emotions blossom inside you.
