Greetings Gordon!

I hope you are well. My boy, Ezra, age 10, loves your books. Thanks for your writing.

I’m writing to ask your advice about the next step in my own writing. I’m a full time criminal prosecutor. I write children and adult fiction on the side. Over the past 5 years, I’ve taken my writing more seriously, and published about 25 short stories. My dream (as is every writer’s dream, I suspect) is to make full time fiction writing my career. I want to take the next 2 years to devote more time and attention to my writing, focusing on children’s fiction, with the hope of eventually being able to take the leap and write full time.   Any advice besides just writing as much as possible and hoping for some good breaks and good luck along the way?

 

Thanks and blessings and keep on writing!
