This Writer’s Journey . . .
~~~
Writing is a journey, one I truly love and enjoy, but it can sometimes feel rather lonely. Hour after hour, alone, at the computer, pouring your heart and soul into each word. But I’ve learned I’m not alone, in fact, I’ve been blessed to be in contact with some amazing people, both writers and non-writers.
I want to share a bit of that with you. Each week I’ll be spotlighting someone I’ve come in contact with during my journey. Thanks for stepping along side of me-all of you-during this exciting time!

I met Rebecca in the Mud Puddle. That’s the name of the critique group offered through the Fantasy, Futuristic, & Paranormalchapter of Romance Writers of America. I found that chapter by placing in a contest they offered (On the Far Side) with my Frostbite manuscript.
I tell you, it led to more than I could have ever imagined. Sure, it was great placing in that contest, but the long-lasting effects were ten-fold. I landed my agent after having great critiques of my novels in the Mud Puddle group. Rebecca was one of those wonderful critique partners who helped me learn so much.
She took the time to read some of my postings and gave honest, helpful, and encouraging feedback. She’s a talented writer, kind person, and I’m proud to know her.
I’m so excited for her because her debut novel is releasing next week! Just CLICK HERE for details. It’s a great book.

Rebecca is awesome. I didn’t know who she was other than another FF&Per until I met her at Nationals. She was fun and interesting and I’m so very happy for her. I can’t wait to read her book. I’m going into zombie book buying mode lately. Instead of Braaaaaaains, I want boooooooks. 😉
Lynn Rush
