I'm sure Amazon will soon follow suit.
Another engaging, witty writing primer from Suz deMello, whose Write This, Not That! was an Amazon bestseller. Plotting, point of view, character creation, conflict and much more are examined in this brief but pithy writing manual. A must for the serious writer who wants the basics without boredom.
Says bestselling author Kylie Brant: “Sue has written a concise manual that is valuable for both beginning and seasoned writers. Going to write a book? Read this first!”

How does an author write a book?
Unfortunately
for aspiring authors, this is not an easy question to answer. It's tantamount
to asking, Where do authors get their
ideas? which, believe me, is our least favorite question. I often tell

the barbecues and the bikes.
In
reality, I get my ideas from almost anywhere. Maybe a magazine article about a
place or event. Perhaps someone I meet or something a person says may trigger a
train of thought that will eventually lead to a book. Maybe travel to someplace
new ignites the creative spark that will inspire me.

better question: What are the building
blocks of plot and story?

I definitely think learning to plot is a big plus when it comes to planning a book. I always have a storyboard when I start a book. I may have to update it as the book changes along the way, but it keeps me from running into a wall.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Patricia! Yes, for those books I've decided to plot, a visual guide does help keep a writer on track.
DeleteOh I so have to remember that - you get your ideas at Sears!!!

LOLOL yes I really do tell people that :) And thanks for the tweet.
DeleteLove the comment that you get your ideas from Sears. I'd say you've put out some really helpful writing guides, Suz. I'll have to check them out. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathryn, I appreciate that. BTW I will be putting out both writing primers in one print volume for Chrsitmas gift-giving :)
