About Creative Writing
It takes wild-eyed determination to walk the path that only you can see.
What I've learned along the way:
​
(1) Books are written one page at a time
Sit down and write to a daily page goal. Do not wait for the holy inspiration.
​
(2) Add flesh to the bones
Expand your episodes to chapter size. I thought the "fillers" were my worst writing, but they turned out to be my best.
​
(3) Chisel the book into shape by relentless editing
This will take eighty percent of the whole process.
​
(4) Creative writing is the loneliest business.
It cannot be turned into a team effort. Friends and family will help - but they won't share your vision, passion, and faith.
