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.

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. :)
