A few posts ago I was stressing out about writing platforms.
Well, my ‘platform’ has been staring me in the face forever. It wasn’t until I was mid-way through explaining my stories to a non-writing friend that I saw it. Well, actually it hit me square between the eyes. (You know those writing moments we all have – the one where everything stops and your face almost explodes from the excitement. At least my friends no longer think I’m having a terrible reaction to something I ate. They know it’s just another writer’s moment and the only treatment is to get me a pen and paper.)
Now I can tell publishers and agents what readers can expect from Jenn J McLeod.
Readers can expect stories about life, love and second chances – thought provoking pieces that blend traditional romance with fresh ideas and compelling twists. They are contemporary stories set in captivating locations and spiced with humour, intrigue and all the heart-warming highs and labyrinthine lows to make you want to laugh, cry and embrace a second chance.
Will having this ‘platfrom’ help me sell????? I don’t know.
Was stressing over writing platforms worth it? Definitely.
It has helped me in a most surprising way, tightened my plots, enhanced my GMC charts, sprouted new concepts and storylines (I also love the way it ties in with my life and bio).
I’m excited!
