Nelson DeMille is a NY Times Bestseller. If you aspire to write, there are other places you could
look.
The web is full of options. Find and author and study. That's the technique. Write down your
observations. Think them over.
1. Notice Nelson began with short crisp sentences.
Think, why?
New writers ... are inclined to... go the " do it yourself route" . I'll just dream, they think.
... maybe that is a clue...but not the answer.
I applaud the do it yourself-er. However there are techniques to be learned and it all
requires study. ( sorry 'bout that) The good news is much is free... You tube Dan Wells..There are five free lectures.......Google ..Larry Brooks incredible web site the storyfix.com
I personally have the pleasure of knowing several writer's who are teachers, newspaper journalist,
PhD's, and successful people. Experience is a good school but not for everything.
Maybe you feel too smart to write in simple sentences with few words that exceed seven letters.
Maybe you think you must slap around curses and violence. This must be decided by you
when you write/edit.
What is the Great American Writer doing? Maybe you don't care.
Maybe you want a course, that's good.
The more you investigate the better you can write. I know
it may take time for the fundamental principles to sink in, especially if you are an accomplished
adult.
We are blessed with the world at our finger tips today. So much is free... if you nose around.
That's what I did and there are websites that can help a lot........they are safe and loaded with free recourses. Just good folks. I'll mention ONE . 1. LARRY BROOKS the storyfix.com look it up.
