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.

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.

Writers How To Publish Free

If you want to do something. Do it yourself.

This is the book that I wrote when I was teaching at an adult school book formatting and publishing.

I found out when I was a new writer floundering around. The big question was. What do I do  with all the articles and stories I had written?

I found a fancy website on the Internet and even went in person to another state to find out about this company. I wanted my book published. Think of the excitement. I wanted to be a published author. Is that you. Is this what you want? This publishing company I went to was sold and my book was never published. I had to fight to get my money back.

I was lucky I had a wonderful friend who was a computer nerd. When he started publishing his writing and books onto the Internet I wanted to know how also. He taught me. Now I want to teach you.

In my book I tell you step by step how to do this. You need a computer and Microsoft Word or some kind of software.

Did you ever hear the saying, “if you want to do something do it yourself.”

That is exactly what I did. I did it myself.
