Writing Tip Of The Week!!

Hey everyone!! Your girl is just getting back from Punta Cana!! Yes, I was in the Dominican Republic taking in some sun as well as taking in new inspiration for new stories... I'm still exhausted but the trip was well worth it... Anyway, I had to drop in and give y'all the tip of the week. Here is the question:

*Do Authors need to have a website in order to be successful?* 

The answer to that question is NO. With all the social networks such as Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, etc., websites are no longer needed to keep an Author's career afloat. Social networks allow Authors to get intimate with their readers and really connect with them. Websites are good for business purposes. For instance if your goal is not only to become an Author but to also become a Publisher, then by all means, create a website. Publishers need their websites to display their books, their Authors and to accept submissions. Your company may even sell other items such as T-shirts with the book covers or tote-bags with the titles on them. So the answer to the question is no, you do not need a website. If you choose to create one, that's great, but is it needed, no....

**Here are some snapshots of the view I took while in Punta Cana.... Every Author should travel outside of their element for new inspiration. It definitely gets your creative juices flowing. Especially when you have those spells of writers block, we all know how dreadful that could be #UGH.com! Till next time, keep writing yall!!
