How many of you talk with confidence about your writing? Writers, in general, are often introverted and struggle to discuss their work. Not to mention, when we do, many of us find it hard to speak with confidence or pride.

So today we’re talking about confidence.

This week’s guest post is an interview with the lovely I. L. Cruz, author of A Smuggler’s Path. Enjoy!

Foreshadowing is a clever and useful technique you can add to your novel, so I thought I’d discuss it in today’s blog post.
