[stylist] Tips For Writing Fiction

[Ashley Gorzelany]

Not being a fiction writer for anything but fun.  i think  that's where it 
starts.  Just  have fun.  writing is first and foremost creation.  you can't 
force yourself to write  something.  if you try something and it doesn't 
work, leave it  and go back to it at a later time.

Pick something you like, an animal, a group of people,  a value, or virtue. 
and see what your imagination can bring up.

what she said is true.  a lot of people do  literally just start writing.

i find  that if i listen to music full of nature sounds, rivers, water, bird 
song,  i can write a bit easier then  i can with  the tv on.

I hope this helps a little bit.  this is just  my advice.

Have fun, and happy writing,
ashley

Subject: [stylist] Tips For Writing Fiction


Hi.

I would like to ask for some opinions or suggestions on writing fiction.

Since I do not have a degree in this vocation, I have been worried that
anything I wrote and attempted to submit would be rejected based on
this fact.  So I would like to have some input on that, please.

Also, can anyone suggest material that I might be able to read that
could give me some idea of how to write a gon fiction piece?  I am
aware that it is a good idea to have a plot but I am not sure how to
get that started.

I have communicated with a few authors that I have enjoyed reading
their books and at least one of them says that she just started
writing.  I found most of Robyn Carr, the author of _The _Virgin _River
series that I have been reading on the BARD website.  I went to her
website and emailed her and got a response almost immediately.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this subject.

Sincerely,

Anita
