Go For It!
Filed Under Updates from Ty | Leave a Comment
I’ve let a few folks, like family and friends know I’m seriously writing. This basically means I’m not talking about I “want to write” a book, but I am writing. Turning 35 this year was one of the driving factors. It was like “Ty” if you want to do this, you might try putting your pen to paper or making use of the laptop for more than surfing.
So seven chapters into my first attempt at a novel, I’m finding the process exhilarating and baffling all at the same time. I want to learn the craft. In between my regular stack of reading material, I have books on plotting, dialogue and characterization. As an avid reader, I have developed a new sense of appreciation for authors. I will post my progress on the blog as a way to keep me motivated.
If you are reading this and you are interested, these books have been plain eye-opening.
- PLOT & STRUCTURE by James Scott Bell
- DIALOGUE by Gloria Kempton
- WRITE GREAT FICTION: CHARACTER, EMOTION & VIEWPOINT By Nancy Kress
If you know of any other great books for writers, please feel free to add a comment. Any other tips for a beginning writer would be appreciated too!
I set-up another blog on blogger.com, for my works-in-progress. It’s called Cookie Mix. Once I gather some courage, I will post an excerpt.
