I write 2,000 words a day when I write. It sometimes takes three hours, it sometimes takes five hours.
writing stories literature
I'm writing a new love story, set in eastern North Carolina. Surprise, surprise, huh?
book writing focus
Focus in on the genre you want to write, and read books in that genre. A LOT of books by a variety of authors. And read with questions in your mind.
writing fiction stories
Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.
reading writing asking-questions
By reading a lot of novels in a variety of genres, and asking questions, it's possible to learn how things are done - the mechanics of writing, so to speak - and which genres and authors excel in various areas.
writing tragedy stories
In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.
writing way dear
Dear John, tell me everything. Write it all down, that way, we’ll be with each other all the time, even if we’re not with each other at all.
writing simple ifs
You can't be a writer if you don't write, it's just that simple.
struggle moving writing
As I write, I am struggling with the ghost of someone I loved and lost. I now understand more fully the difficulties you were going through, and I realize how painful it must have been for you to move on.
book writing successful
There's always pressure, a great deal of pressure, when writing, since my first books were so successful.
writing people challenges
What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that.
sex kids writing
I have certain moral parameters that I do not cross in writing; I don't write about adultery or kids having premarital sex.
writing romance novel
I don't write romance novels.
book writing simple
Too many writers think that all you need to do is write well-but that's only part of what a good book is. Above all, a good book tells a good story. Focus on the story first. Ask yourself, 'Will other people find this story so interesting that they will tell others about it?' Remember: A bestselling book usually follows a simple rule, 'It's a wonderful story, wonderfully told'; not, 'It's a wonderfully told story.'
