Voice in Narrative and Dialogue - A Contrast of Writing Styles

One of the nice things about being an author is that we can break any rule we want. I just did. Its part of our job description.

How To Promote A Book

Nowadays it’s no longer a matter of whether or not an author should promote his or her book, but how aggressively one should go about it. The sad truth is that publishers often fail to promote books, and if we, the authors, dont promote your own book then it may be destined to a lifespan between that of butter and yogurt, to paraphrase Calvin Trillan. The authors extra efforts may make all the difference between a book becoming a long-lived seller, and being recycled so that some other author can take advantage of the paper.

Whats in a Name Giving Birth to your Characters

True, you didnt carry the character in your womb for nine months especially if youre male. But he or she couldve been in your head for nine monthsor nine years. So choosing a name for your characters seems almost as important as the one you would give your own child.

Far too many inexperienced writers create flat, stereotypical characters: the brave fireman, the damsel in distress, the strict schoolmistress. The best characters are those who evoke emotions within the reader fear, admiration, affection, laughter, horror If the writer fails to make us care about the characters, no matter how ingenious the plot, we will toss the story aside without a second thought.
