The first time I got paid for my writing, I was dumbfounded. I had earned money from my writing!
So I felt I should invest in my writing career. I went to the Writer’s Digest shop and looked very carefully. One book I saw was “Trouble shooting your novel” by Stephen James. I actually scored quite a few winners in that book shopping, and also one or two duds (including one that I see quoted all the time, but did nothing for me!).
I checked the reviews on all the books I was looking at. The one review for “Trouble Shooting your novel” was negative, where someone wrote, “this book is too detailed, and has too much information. I realized my novel has so many problems that by the time I fixed one, I saw another. I’m about to give up.”
Well, I’m a writer. I immediately thought (and you’re thinking the same thing!), “YES! That’s the book for me!”
I think Writer’s Digest took that review down. Shame – they should have left it up – this book would be SELLING big time!
I’ve been slowly reading all of my books on writing as I write… and I got to this book just the other say. Barely into Chapter one.
If you write, you need this book. Stop what you’re doing, go to Writer’s Digest shop, order this book, and pay the extra for overnight shipping.
Each little chapter will have a facet of writing, a problem, how to fix it, a quote to get it seated in your head, and a writing exercise.
Go buy it now.
