Three must read books for writers and the best advice from each:
1. Save the Cat by Blake Snyder
“You must give it a twist.” – other wise why should the reader keep reading.
“The whiff of death.” – At some point near the last 1/4 of your novel you have to have a death scene. Something, anything has to die. It spurs the MC towards the climax.
2. Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success by K.M. Weiland
Create a scene list. – I’m a list person.
Interview you characters and know them inside and out. – It all starts with well rounded character and it’s the author’s job to create that character.
“The real importance of reading is that it creates an ease and intimacy with the process of writing.” – When I write, I read stuff in my genre. It helps me get in the right mind set to write.
“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write.” – I make time every day to read, now if I can make time every day to write, I’ll be good.
