Hello, gorgeous (or handsome, as the case may be). Welcome to my internet home.
I’m aspiring author, Reese Ryan. I started this space to share my journey to publication as a novelist, and my musings on life in general. I started writing stories as a kid, but I abandoned the dream of being a published author of fiction for two decades before I began writing again, a little more than six years ago. Still, I wasn’t ready to commit to the process. That took a few more years. But over the past two years I’ve become more serious about my craft, more determined to make the dream of being a published author a reality.
Creative writing classes. Books on crafts. Writers workshops. All of these tools have helped me to progress as a writer. The thing that has helped me most is joining a critique group. One with smart, insightful members who want to see each other succeed, who aren’t afraid to be honest, but can do so without being unkind.
All of that has prepared me to the next step in my journey, submitting my work.
Where are you on your journey?
