RE: Writing Tips - 3

in #writing7 years ago

I hope people appreciate your work in these 'how to' posts. I can't tell you how much money I have spent on how to write books in the past. Love the examples you use, both from your own work and others, it really brings it alive.

Sort:  

Also, on an unrelated matter, are you going to post any more Bouncer stories? Unless I missed them... I have looked, but can only see Part one.

Ah... you liked Zack's story did you?

Well, the good news is I've been testing out the story on my daughter and I think we've got a storyline in place. More on that later.

YAY! :)

To be honest, I haven't read many how to write books and those I did buy were pushed to one side when I discovered Stephen King's On Writing because that turned into my Bible.

I've only used my own writing for the examples because I don't want to get in trouble for copyright. I do find it easy to swap styles and voice in my writing and I very much doubt that is a skill I'd be able to teach anyone.

To be honest, I think a lot of people (and when I say people I mean me!) buy books on how to write in order to avoid actually doing it. :)
