Another writing post–what Jen said

April 9, 2014 by Ally Carter 5 Comments

Hi all,

Another quick post today on the subject of writing and publishing and–more specifically–publishing at a very young age.

As many of you know, my BFF is Jennifer Lynn Barnes. Jen published her first novel when she was a teenager, and she writes very thoughtfully on the subject right here.

I highly recommend you read it. Especially if you’re someone who has made a goal like “I will publish a novel by the time I’m 18!”

I’m all for goals… But I do think that that particular type of goal is sometimes detrimental to a person’s happiness in the long-run.

And long-run happiness is the most important happiness of all.

So read Jen’s post. I highly recommend it.

Have a great one!

Ally
