Sydney Avey has written two literary fiction novels about the human experience. Here's the link the Sydney's Show Notes with highlights, quotes, and links to her books, website, and social media connections.

Sydney saw writing as a lifestyle - a way of life, and she knew her life would change as she got into writing. Her husband supported her desire to write and they both talked about the costs of doing this. Friendships and commitments changed. Her love of writing began with assignments to write poetry in the 3rd grade. She wrote all the way through school and college. She wrote for magazines, journals, and literary magazines, even winning a silver pen award for a letter to the editor. Those all affirmed her desire to write and provided great connections to other writers. She values the collaborative effort between authors and the editor and publisher - knowing her work would be better because of it. We talk about her writing processes, story development, plot and character development, creating a timeline for the story, trying one novel into the previous one, thinking about your audience, and more. She talks about the fun of writing in Scrivener. Sydney shares the importance of knowing how your novel ends, understanding the two paths of writing and which brings you joy, and more.
