Writing for Passion by Ruth Ann Nordin Book Summary

In the writing community, writing to market has become a huge sensation. A lot of authors are so busy focusing on making money that the idea of writing for passion has fallen to the wayside. Many authors are writing books they don't really love as fast as they can in order to maximize their income. The result? They are facing burn out. Some more so than others, but there is a good number of authors who are physically and mentally exhausted. And, on top of that, they are losing the joy in writing.

Ruth Ann Nordin has been through this. She began publishing romances in 2009. In the beginning, she wrote for passion, but eventually, she ended up embracing the writing-to-market mindset.

Today, she's writing for passion, and she's much happier. In this book, she shares the pitfalls of writing to market and why writing for passion is ultimately the better option.
