writing people fiction
I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.
writing magic literature
One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane.
book writing thinking
Perfection is an unattainable goal. It isn't going to be perfect. Just get words down on paper, and when you stumble to what you think is the end of the book, you will have hundreds of pages of words that came out of your head. It may not be perfect, but it looks like a book.
book writing worry
I try not to worry about rewriting books that worked well the first time. I'm too busy writing new books to worry about things that are already in print
book writing pages
I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print
writing people feels
If people would write exactly what I wanted to read I wouldn't feel so compelled to write myself
writing successful trying
Now that I'm being very successful, publishers are trying to mainstream me, but I'm unabashedly genre. It's what I like to read, what I like to write
children writing doe
I started off like everyone else does, slogging but having a compulsion to put words on paper. I didn't write or read horror or fantasy, other than children's fantasy, until I was in my teens
book writing hours-in-the-day
So many wonderful books to write, and not enough hours in the day. An embarrassment of riches.
writing gold garbage
Seventy percent of a first draft is garbage and 30 percent is gold, but you have to write 100 percent to get that 30.
teacher writing writing-stories
I've been writing stories since I was 12. 'Writer's Digest' was one of my writing teachers, actually.
writing effort add
It all adds up; never discount your efforts, because small efforts build big things. One word doesn't make a novel, but one word does begin a novel, and from that small beginning everything else follows. Even if it's just 'The', write something on that blank page.
believe writing literature
I always treated writing as a profession, never as a hobby. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else will.
writing sensual style
My writing style is very sensual, as in sensory detail
