There will always be rejection in a writer’s life, whether you’re querying your first novel or you’re a New York Times Bestseller pitching your next project to editors. I always say the same thing: Be persistent. What do you say to writers who want to be published one day? But the good intentions are there, so that counts!ģ. I also set an alarm every day for 5:30am with the intention of getting up to write before anyone else is awake, but I usually end up pressing the snooze button and going back to bed. Now that my son is four and doesn’t nap, all of my writing gets done in the hour between when my husband gets home from work and before we get started making dinner. My son slept through the night and took 3-4 hour naps during the day, and I knew that if I was ever going to write that book, I wouldn’t get any better of an opportunity try. It was only once I began a yearlong maternity leave that things changed. Did you always know you wanted to be a writer?īeing a writer was one of those things I always said I wanted to do but never took any steps towards accomplishing. I “met” Michelle online thanks to the Christmas In July pitch contest she organizes every summer with Ruth Lauren Steven.īook: HEXED (expected publication: June 10th 2014 by Delacorte Press)ġ. I’m delighted to share with you another interview with a YA author! This week it’s Michelle Krys, whose debut HEXED is coming out in June.
