Writing Class

For the last twenty years I have been writing books. They are all on Amazon.com. There are children to adult, adult, fiction and non-fiction. That about covers almost every category of books.

I had never taken a writing class. Now I go once a week to a writing class. There are fifteen people in the class. We all write 4 pages and then I read in the front of the class what I have written.

The other authors give phrase and criticism. We each bring enough copies of the 4 pages to give to each author in the room. This is where I get written editing corrections and other phrases.

I have learned much from this class. I enjoy it because it’s what I love to do write. This is what the others in the class do write.

If you do not have a class you can take in your area start one.

Social Security What A Joke

What do you think seniors? Can you live on the amount of money you get from Social Security monthly?

The amount of Social Security stays the same. But everything else goes up.

Food has gone up so high in price I don’t want to go into the grocery store unless I have no choice.

People have to eat to stay alive.

They need a home. Whatever that means to you.

They need medical care.

They need dental care.

They need clothes.

They need to be clean.

This sounds so ordinary but is it.

Today thousands live on the streets. All these necessities evaporate in their search to stay alive.

Politicians who are running for office love to mouth off about cutting Social Security and Medicare.

Keep it up and you won’t get elected.

There are more living (voting) seniors alive than ever before.

Thank you for reading my article.

When Writing A Book

When writing a book for the reader it looks easy.

But it isn’t.

 It’s hours, days, weeks, months, and sometimes years to complete a manuscript.

Then there are the rewrites.

The editing is never-ending.

This is truly something you have to love to do. It is a solitary job with only yourself as company.

But how do you start to write a book.? I get asked.

You start with an idea and then think out the story systemically.

For instance, if you were planting a garden, you don’t just plant seeds in the ground.

You have to prepare the soil and then plant the seeds.

Then water the plants.

This is the same idea in writing.

Check out my book Writer’s How to Publish Free. It will save you hundreds of dollars.

Whenever you do something, yourself you know it was done to your satisfaction.
