Thrilled to get to share my guest-blog article, “4 Tips for Overcoming Imposter Syndrome” as the next stop of my blog tour at Michelle Cornish’s blog.
An excerpt: “Have you ever gotten praise for your writing but still felt it wasn’t good enough? Or gotten published and started to doubt if you’ll ever write anything publishable again? Or felt that the first story or poem or book was just a fluke?
It’s common for writers to experience imposter syndrome multiple times in our lives. Often, just when we’re advancing in our abilities, that doubtful voice rears up.
It’s understandable that confidence in our writing projects, and in ourselves, comes and goes, since we writers are sensitive people who create art. Still, there are things we can do to silence the not-good-enoughs.
Keep something for yourself."

I haven’t shared one of my doodles in a while, and this rushed season seemed like the perfect time to post this one.
Whether it’s a fifteen-minute tea or coffee break; an hour with a book; a week off from work; or an afternoon of baking, or streaming movies, or catching a nap, or writing, I hope you also put a thing (or ten) on pause to savor a little break. You deserve it!
Here’s my initial doodle (using pencil and fine-line black pen) from my sketch pad. Yep, I also used crayons on this one. You’ll notice some pencil marks here and there that I didn’t erase well enough (oopsy!) and that the curve of my T and my second line’s k got some extra ink that was inadvertent. Handmade things are perfectly imperfect this way. 😁
Then, I scanned the initial doodle, cropped it, and experimented with adding filters for the background and the doodle itself.
Excited to have a review of my book, From Promising to Published, today at my next book-blog tour stop, The Faerie Review.
An excerpt of the 5-star review: “If you want a guide that’s easy to read, with anecdotes from the author, and exercises sprinkled throughout, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for. Faith walks the line between too broad and too specific in this guide, and does a great job of making everything relatable.”

Thrilled to have a review of my book, From Promising to Published, today at my next book-blog tour stop, Mother-Daughter Book Club.
An excerpt: “Writers looking for inspiration about how to get their work into the hands of people who can publish it will find it in Melanie Faith’s guidebook, From Promising to Published: A Multi-Genre, Insider’s Guide to the Publication Process.
Faith’s straightforward writing style makes the book feel like you are getting advice from a trusted friend. The book is divided into four sections, making it easy to navigate ahead or go back for a quick review of something already covered. The sections include how to start out as a writer, how to find the right audience and market for your work, getting paid and celebrating your successes large and small, and thriving long-term as a writer.”

So pleased to have this interview as my blog-tour stop today. It was a pleasure to talk to Lisa about many facets of the writing life, such as finding time to write, as well as a few other topics, like when I first called myself a writer, what I’m working on currently, and both the Space Race and space diapers! Also, a sneak peek into my chapter, “Celebration Station.”
Intrigued?
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
“What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I alternate projects, so some of my projects sit on the backburner for months or even well over a year before the muse strikes to get back to them again. I work on projects intuitively, so I’ll write a chapter or a handful of poems or an article or two at a time and then either start a new project or rotate back to an already-started one that feels ready to work on again. Last weekend, I worked on two chapters of a project I hadn’t worked on since May.”
