Do read the good writing of others and learn why it is good. Emulate if doing so doesn't conflict with being your natural self.Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-46739315975076542062010-06-30T02:58:57.019-07:002010-06-30T02:58:57.019-07:00The best advice....

You know, they went house to house looking for writers...<br /><br />I think it's important to write what makes you happy. Make it the best you can possibly make it and then look for a publisher or agent...The thing is you have to find the right match for you and your work. It takes a lot of time to write a novel and it takes a lot of time to find the right home for it....Determination is key. (That's what I tell myself anyway.)<br /><br />When I feel like giving up I ask myself what would I do instead...I can't imagine doing anything else. What about you?Sharon K.

I think I had been conforming to "rules" too much, and bludgeoning my writing in the process. I guess it comes down to know when the rule works and when it does not.LAFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11020587104012952426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079424739175991097.post-26007691047644234192010-06-29T18:14:34.195-07:002010-06-29T18:14:34.195-07:00Write what you like to read.

Don't compromise on that. <br /><br />If you like it, that's enough and far better than if everyone liked it...but you.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.com
