Hello there it's Peter here again from
writers life and coming up this time how
to create the perfect plot twist writing
great plot twists can be incredibly
effective but doing so it's not as easy
as you might think so here are some tips
to help you first get into the readers
mindset one of the most helpful things
any writer can do is to try to read
their story as if they didn't know it
a successful plot twist relies on the
reader being shocked because something
unexpected happens but at the same time
the twist must be plausible by putting
yourself in the readers shoes you can
try to see what might be obvious and
discard these as potential plot twists
ideas the reader needs not to be able to
second-guess the twist otherwise it'll
be ineffective so try to come up with
something that will ultimately take them
by surprise
next employ misdirection is
a smart device to help make plot twists
more powerful but it must be used with
great subtlety otherwise readers will
feel cheated
you can drop hints and make suggestions
that something is about to happen or
bring their attention to something or
plant red herrings to guide your reader
to believe something is coming and that
isn't then instead leave them gobsmacked
at the actual turn of events next leave
clues a plot twist can't come from
nowhere but a good one also won't be
guessed by your reader before it's
revealed how do you manage to balance
this by leaving extremely subtle hints
throughout your story these might be
seemingly unimportant things that your
reader notices at the time but quickly
for
and it's only when the twist is revealed
that they can join the dots and suddenly
see that it was right there in front of
them all along next make sure it's
necessary not all God's stories need a
plot twist so don't put one in just for
the sake of it a good plot twist is
essential to make the story work it's
believable and make sense a plot twist
that is too far-fetched will merely
leave your reader feeling confused and
cheated at the ending and they were
hoping for readers need their emotional
investment in your story to pay off if a
plot twist makes them feel deceived they
won't buy into it and he could risk
ruining your whole story next twist a
plot twist within a plot twist detective
fiction of crime novels often use the
clever device are presenting a plot
twist to the reader and then suddenly
revealing another even more shocking
plot twist later on just when the reader
gets comfortable again and thinks all
has been revealed
they are hits with an even more
incredible revelation which leaves them
reeling but totally hooks to your every
word remember not every story has a
happy ending it's so easy to finish your
story
with a happy hour vibe but sometimes
it's far more effective to create an
unhappy ending if your readers love your
characters they probably want everything
to work out for them and if your plot
twist is that it doesn't this can be an
effective way of engaging with the
reader even if they shed a tear at the
end next don't run out of steam your
plot twist will probably be revealed
towards the end of your book but don't
invest all your creativity in a
mind-blowing plot twist only to then
have your story limp off into the night
make sure you have enough
energy left to right a brilliant and
satisfying ending to if you want to make
your readers jaws drop use these tips
doing so will help to create your Matic
plot twists and keep your readers hopes
on your story until the very last word
and don't forget if you're struggling to
write or finish your book our free
writers toolkit can help with it you'll

we miss you type emails generally speaking though the goal of email marketing is to keep in touch and engage with existing customers or subscribers so how do you land these gates the key to convincing clients to hire you is to show them that you understand that their target audience send them sample emails or links to blog posts with compelling headlines an engaging copy that demonstrates how well you connect with people knowledge of email marketing software is another obvious plus so if you have any experience with MailChimp or similar services be sure to brag about it and next web shopping such as home pages and about us pages etc this is pretty straightforward there are more consumers and businesses online than ever before so the demand a compelling web copy is at an all-time high how do you land these gates well aside from seeking referrals inbound marketing try approaching clients and telling them what's wrong with there is the existing website head to a prospect site and look for typos and other areas of improvement email them with your suggestions and offered to take care of their content needs part of being a successful writer is also discipline if you have a novel it can be an interesting challenge try to reconcile your creative side with the business side it's important to stay disciplined and on schedule so that's why you need our free writers toolkit with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and if you haven't done so already finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit ok that's it for now be sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel for more I'm Peter and I'll see you next time bye for now

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello its Peter here again from WritersLife.org and coming up today five tips to create a brilliant novel degrees a brilliant novel you need to tell a brilliant story it really is as simple as that but how I can hear you cry telling a great story comes down to five simple rules if you follow these there is no reason why your story won't be considered fantastic and we are talking about the opinions of prospective publishers and agents not just your grammar so how do you create a brilliant novel one which is fast paced moving and original you need to show a publisher that you have knowledge that you have authority and an understanding of what your audience wants if you can do this successfully you are sure to impress so here are five great tips to help you on your way tip number one make your story a sense sensation your characters need to be believable and engaging your descriptions need to be delightful and imaginative the five senses play a crucial part in involving your audience in your story giving it texture and depth we want to see what they see hear what they hear feel what they feel if you omit this from your story it will fall flat and our next tip is be odd erratic haunting and idiosyncratic to create believable and interesting characters they need to behave a certain way simple straightforward characters who look nice and nice and say nice things are only useful in your story if they are there to create a stark contrast between themselves and other more important characters in your book make your characters irrational give them unusual appearances quirks tics hobbies but do it softly your readers need to understand your character's motivation for behaving in the ways that they do they like weird but they will want to understand why it is easy to emphasize with people's irrational behavior we all act like this from time to time so make sure you allow your characters to do so too otherwise they may well come across as rather dull tip number three be free one of the greatest difficulties writers face is themselves we are obstructive negative and often downright cruel to create a brilliant novel you need to free yourself from yourself allow yourself to explore scary sad mad parts of your own being really getting there go deep and inspect all the ugly things that you don't like to show to anyone else then use them if you are daring in your writing it will be exciting if you are honest with your feelings it can lead to some uncomfortable moments but if you channel it all into your writing and refuse to be self-conscious or restrained then you can produce some great content and next be clever if you have an idea for a story that is complicated and intelligent don't shy away from it because you are worried it won't appeal to a mass-market the truth is that most avid readers are educated and affluent and these people are more likely to buy a book that appeals to their Intel Agence a publisher is far more likely to be excited about a book that presents a clever idea rather than one that is clearly dumbed down simply to try and appeal to the lowest common denominator don't insult your readers don't underestimate them people like to be challenged they like to escape resist the need to over explain everything it makes for awkward and slow prose use your words carefully and selectively to portray what you mean and have faith that your readers will get it and number five make them laugh and make them cry one of the most important things to achieve when creating a great novel is getting your reaction from your reader your book should make them feel something if you are writing a funny story then aim to make your readers not just smile or half chuckle but bend over in gasping and embarrassing hysterics on the train if your story is sad for yes.i or solitary tear have them sobbing snotty and heartbroken if you can evoke your design response from the reader you're doing something right if you can make them both laugh and cry you are on to a winner agents and editors are highly skilled when it comes to seeing the weaknesses in a story but they will also forgive many flaws if an author shows bravery and skill follow the tips which I've given you here to engage your audience to be true to yourself and hopefully creates a brilliant novel in the process and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to

your laptop without a care in the world while watching the big books roll in however this is rarely the case being a freelance writer or rather being a good freelance writer as with any job requires hard work dedication and a whole lot of effort similarly there is no need to be put off by the idea scare stories of over where writers constantly struggling to meet deadlines and never see in the light of day as they try and scrape enough money together to keep a roof over their heads while being shouted up by editors every minute of every day is equally unrealistic the fact is providing you are willing to work with it and hone your craft there is no reason why you can't become a successful writer and reap all the rewards that go with it so what is the middle ground what is it really like to be a freelance writer can you achieve a work/life balance can you really make a decent living well yes of course you can but before you decide let's look at some of the common assumptions so you can see if being a freelance writer is really for you first you don't have to get dressed all day so if you are working from home most of the time you may feel there's no reason to do anything other than start your working day by reaching for your laptop in bed and beginning to write you are your own boss after all so the dress code is up to you however if you want to take your job seriously then it's a good idea to treat it like one that means getting up getting dressed okay so you don't have to put a suit and pack your briefcase but some clothes that aren't pajamas will help and sitting in a work ready space before you begin you are a professional and should act by one motivating yourself to do a great job and work productively is going to be tough if you can't even be bothered to get out of bed and next you'll be rich as with any career some people become hugely successful others fail and fall into debt but for the majority of us there tends to be a ratio the more time and effort we put in the better we'll do you can't exactly work your way up the ladder or decide to give yourself a massive pay rise but you can spend time learning how to write effectively find your niche and become an authority on something build up your experience and slowly but surely you'll be able to pitch for bigger more lucrative jobs feel confident in your value become a good negotiator and that's when you'll start to see the financial rewards you'll be stress-free so you are working for yourself which effectively means you don't have a boss that can dump a load of work on you right before you go on holiday and shout to you for taking a longer lunch break then you're supposed to however working for yourself has his own precious and if you are a freelancer you'll have clients clients who you work for who are paying you to do a good job and do it on time if you don't do this not only will the stress of your workload become unmanageable you'll lose clients and get a bad name in the industry too next you can do what you want when you want freelancing does bring with it a certain flexibility but if this is your full-time job you can't just pick and choose a few convenient hours every week when you're feeling at your most creative you'll have deadlines you'll want great jobs that mean working all the hours that God sends for a while and you'll have up the evenings and weekends where you've got to make up for the times you weren't being quite so productive suddenly instead of working Monday to Friday and getting nice paid holidays you've got to manage all your own time and if you choose not to work you don't make any money so the pressure to do so will be all the more constant and next it won't feel like work doing something you love is amazing and a privilege so if you're a successful freelance writer and it's what you want to do then you will enjoy your work and get great satisfaction from doing it it is however still work and when you have been typing in your laptop for 6 hours straight it will definitely feel that way to remember that going freelance isn't just about writing you've got to constantly pitch for jobs do research send invoices chase invoices do your tax returns and keep track of every single piece of work you've got to get done and when you are your own boss but you are also your accountant admin assistant and HR manager so you better be prepared for that being a freelance writer is hard you've got to love it you've got to work at it and you've got to be realistic about it if you can do all that then it can be a wonderfully rewarding career

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about ten musts for writing a book number one take one fabulous idea it's impossible to overstate the importance of your concept in terms of how successful your book becomes Stephenie Meyer writes perfectly good competent prose but her story idea ordinary girl falls for hot vampire turns her book into a cultural phenomenon dan Brown Stieg Larsson Stephen King are all similar decent writers blessed with stunning ideas agents know this and no matter what your genre a strong premise is essential to selling a book giving any to broadly similar manuscripts agents will almost always pick the one with the strongest central concepts build yourself a blistering plot the next huge essential for any novelist is a story that simply forces the reader to keep turning pages unfortunately there are definite rules about how to achieve this the two crucial rules are a give the protagonist a major life challenge early in the book and don't resolve things until the very ends be if a particular chapter doesn't advance the story in a specific way you have to delete that chapter it sounds simple well actually the principles aren't that hard to understand although executing the advice can be a bit tricky number three next ingredient an unforgettable character or two long after a reader has forgotten the details of a plot the chances are they'll remember the character who impelled it the two things you absolutely have to bear in mind when constructing your characters are a make sure the character and the story bounce off of each other in interesting ways so if to take a stupid example your character has a big fear of spiders the chances are that your story will have to force your character to confront those fears you have to bring your character into their zone of greatest discomfort be make sure that you really really know your character after all it's Alton the big things that make a character sizzle with life it's the little things that make her seem human amy has a passion for Manhattan winter she fell off a horse when she was 12 she collects a shell from every beach she's ever visited one more thing that matters is where you place your camera do you write in the first person the third person do you have one point view - or 10 number four don't forget to give your character some inner life one of the most common problems we see when a character does and says all the right stuff but the reader never really knows what he or she thinks or feels one of the most common problems we see is when a character does and says all the right stuff but the reader never really knows what the character thinks or feels and this is one of the very simplest things for a novelist to do you just need to remember that your protagonist has a rich inner world and you need to tell us about it not just the bland everyday things either Mike felt hungry so he sat down to eat but the things that make him different and unique dramatized dramatized dramatized your job as a novelist is to show the action unfolding on the page readers don't just want a third-hand report of what just happened that means you need to tell them moment by moments as though you were witnessing the events number 6 right well okay we know this sounds obvious but it's no good having a fabulous idea and a brilliant plot if you can't write good clear English your book is made up of sentences and as those sentences don't convey your meaning successfully and clearly your book just won't work fortunately almost everyone has the capacity to write well enough you just have to focus on the challenge in particular do you think about the three building blocks of good writing a clarity you need to express your meaning clearly be economy never use ten words when eight would do si precision be as precise as possible and that normally means you have to see the scene clearly in your head before you can describe it clearly to a reader D that your novel boasts a lovely sense of place e that your dialogue sparkles quite easy to achieve actually and it really strengthens the book and that your manuscript is well presented no row apostrophes please number seven what if I'm writing for children most of the same rules apply no matter what age group you're writing for you write clearly if your style isn't clear kids won't have the patience to stay with you if in doubt keep it simple you write economically same thing here if you waste words if a chapter doesn't immediately drive the story forward you'll lose readers keep it Tops you write warmly children flops to Harry Potter for JK Rowling's ideas and inventiveness but they stayed with her because of her warmth you write with humor and a bit of mischief kids want humor and they want books to break rules that they wouldn't dream of breaking in real life think of your favorite children's book and you'll almost certainly smile number eight reached the final full stop congratulations you're almost halfway there Hemingway once said the first draft if anything is crap and he's right nearly all first drafts will have problems some of them quite profound and that's okay the first draft is really just your opportunity to get stuck in on the real business which is refining and perfecting the story you've just told yourself the chances are that you have not properly succeeded in the following rules above so now it's a pretty good time to go back over these and check that you've made full use of their wisdom you'll find that a lot of these things are circular you'll use the same advice over and over again but make more profound use of it each time around number nine get help writing a book is hard work it's lonely those around you are seldom equipped to offer expert feedback and advice and of course this is a difficult road most first novels do not get published so please don't try to go it alone if you finished your novel however then the most direct route to improving it is to get detailed editorial advice on what's working what's not yet working and what to do to fix it this kind of feedback is the gold standard way to improve your writing and number ten get a literary agent and a book deal literary agents only take about one book in a thousand so before you take this final step we do suggest that you've completed one through number nine properly that said if you're not was good enough you will find it easy enough to secure representation just follow these steps a select your target agents be choose about eight to twelve names you're looking for agents who are keen to take on new writers who are active in your area if they happen to represent authors you love then so much the better see write a fabulous cover letter d write a good clear synopsis a process that terrifies most writers but which is easier than you might think e get your stuff out there and good luck don't forget if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello again it's Peter here again from WritersLife.org and today what to do when you feel like giving up almost every writer at some stage during their writing career has a moment where they feel like giving up that moment may be fleeting be dismissed just as quickly as it came or it may be something that builds up creeps into your head and becomes impossible to shake there is no denying that writing is a tough job we all know it however there are times where writing can feel so tough it's hard to carry on perhaps you're suffering from writer's block and tired of being so exasperated and infuriated that no words seem to want to come out or perhaps you suffered a rejection or being given a particularly bad review perhaps you just can't find the time to write or have got into such a routine of procrastination that you wonder how you'll ever get back to writing regularly again feeling as though you are wasting your time that you'll never become a successful that no one really cares about your writing can be pretty draining however before you decide to pack in writing forever you need to really be sure it's the right decision and not something you will come to regret more often than not quitting isn't the right choice so what should you do when you feel like giving up to really be sure one way or another let's take a look first how do you feel only you know deep down inside how you truly feel try to get to the very root cause of how you feel and be honest with yourself about what is causing you to feel this way more often than not there might be a particular problem that as a solution if you truly find writing unenjoyable and can't see how you could ever change that you'll know that maybe it's time to stop next where have you gotten to if you're just forming a new idea and you feel like giving up already it may simply be that this particular idea isn't going to work Park it and try working on something else for a while to see if that gets you motivated again if you are midway through a writing project just look how far you've come already it might be tough but if you've come this far why not try and push through until the end and then see how you feel next what is writing getting in the way of sometimes we could feel like giving up on rides it because it takes away from other things we want to do writing doesn't come without sacrifice but if there's something that you feel is lacking from your life and writing is getting in the way of it try to reassess your priorities to shift and doodle some of your daily activities to find room for both why not cut your writing time or find a different slot for it rather than quitting altogether next reassess your goals you might feel like giving up on writing because you have simply given yourself too much to do your writing goal should be challenges but they don't have to make you feel totally stressed out or pressured why not create some easily achievable goals to help give you more of a sense of achievement with your writing and then start to build up again from there and next give yourself time just because thoughts of giving up comes into your head doesn't mean it's the right answer it's okay to give yourself a bit of time to think about what you really want what your goals and priorities are on what will make you happiest next surround yourself with positive people some people just aren't going to get your writing or aren't going to support you when it comes to your writing goals these people aren't helping you so try to distance yourself from or at least separate the time you spend with them from your work so you don't have to mix the two next try to finish something sometimes all it takes is getting something finished to feel as though you are back on track before you give up on your writing promise yourself you'll finish your latest projects and then reassess things after that finally take a break taking a break from your writing is not the same as giving up on it so if things are really getting on top of you give yourself some space create some distance from your writing and just return to it when you feel ready again so next time you feel like giving up why not take some time to really ask yourself why you feel like doing so then you can use these tips to get you back into a positive and productive frame of mind once more at the end of the day feeling happy and fulfilled is what is most important so do

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi I'm Jodi from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about expert rules for writing fiction today we'll be looking at advice given by the experts Elmore Leonard says using adverbs is a mortal sin never open a book with the weather if it's only to create atmosphere and not a character's reaction to the weather you don't want to go on too long the reader is apt to leap ahead looking for people there are exceptions if you happen to be Barry Lopez who has more ways than an Eskimo to describe ice and snow in his book Arctic dreams you can do all the weather recording you want avoid prologues they can be annoying especially a prologue following an introduction that comes after a foreword but these are ordinarily found in nonfiction a prologue in a novel is back story and you can drop it anywhere you want there is a prologue in John Steinbeck sweet Thursday but it's okay because a character in the book makes the point of what my rules are all about he says I like a lot of talk in a book and I don't like to have nobody tell me what the guy that's talking looks like I want to figure out what he looks like from the way he talks keep your exclamation points under control you are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words never use the words suddenly or all hell broke loose this rule doesn't require an explanation I have noticed that writers who use suddenly tend to exercise less control in the application of exclamation points don't go into great detail describing places and things unless you're Margaret Atwood and can paint scenes with language you don't want descriptions that bring in the action the flow of the story to a standstill try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip think of what you skip reading in a novel thick paragraphs of prose you can see have too many words in them Margaret Atwood says hold the reader's attention this is likely to work better if you can hold your own but you don't know who the reader is so it's like shooting fish with a slingshot in the dark what fascinates a will bore the pants off be you most likely need a thesaurus a rudimentary grammar book and a grip on reality this latter means there's no free lunch writing is work and it's also a gamble you don't get a pension plan other people can help you a bit but essentially you're on your own nobody is making you do this you chose it so don't whine about it you can never read your own book with the innocent anticipation that comes with that first delicious page of a new book because you wrote the thing you've been backstage you've seen how the rabbits were smuggled into the Hat therefore ask a reading friend or two to look at it before you give it to anyone in the publishing business this friend should not be someone with whom you have a romantic relationship unless you want to break up don't sit down in the middle of the woods if you're lost in the plot or blocked retrace your steps to where you went wrong then take the other road or change the person change the tents change the opening page Roddy Doyle says do be kind to yourself fill pages as quickly as possible double spaced or write on every second line regard every new page as a small triumph until you get to page 50 then calm down and start worrying about the quality do feel anxiety it's the job do give the work a name as quickly as possible own it and see it Dickens new Bleak House was going to be called Bleak House before he started writing it the rest must have been easy do restrict your browsing to only a few websites a day don't go near the online bookies unless it's research Helen Dunmore says finish the day's writing when you still want to continue listen to what you have written a dud rhythm in a passage of dialogue may show that you don't yet understand the characters well enough to write their voices reread rewrites reread rewrites if it still doesn't work throw it away it's a nice feeling and you don't want it to be cluttered with the corpses of poems and stories which have everything in them except the life they need Esther Freud says a story needs rhythm read it out loud to yourself if it doesn't spin a bit of magic it's missing something editing is everything cut until you can't cut No or what is left often springs into life find your best time of the day for writing and writes don't let anything else interfere afterwards it won't matter to you that the kitchen is a mess don't wait for inspiration discipline is the key trust your reader not everything needs to be explained if you really know something and breathe life into it they'll know it to never forget even your own rules are

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about 10 mistakes new fiction writers make for new writers seeing errors or shortcomings in your writing is a skill yet to be developed and something many have a hard time understanding as professional writers we become so attached to our work seeing our mistakes whether we are new to the profession or not isn't something we typically want to admit as a new fiction writer you create story after story but nothing seems to be connecting with editors are you wondering why your short stories keep coming back with polite rejection letters it could be that one of these 10 fatal errors is standing between you and publication lack of editing the best writers rewrite and rewrite new writers tend to think that editing merely means a brief read-through for typos and spelling errors that's the very last thing you do the first draft of a short story is like a lump of wood removing unnecessary waffle sharpening up images and choosing the exact word will reveal the beauty of the grain dull writing too many new writers don't give their imagination full rein they seem afraid to look beyond and beneath the surface their characters and dull and leaves dull lives above all fiction must intrigue and entertain avoid stereotyped characters and situations why can't a rich businessman be kind and compassionate - why are unemployed man always lazy and sit around in their vest swinging out of cans why can't one or two learn Latin or take up the line-dancing too much irrelevant detail and short fiction especially include information only if it furthers the plot aids characterization and provides a sense of place and time too much background information makes a story all tell and no show don't go into detail about characters if they have no significant part to play in the fiction never give bit-part players a name if all the postman has to do is deliver an all-important letter don't say he Stan the postman whose wife nags him and has they bad back after falling off his bike in 1976 his function is just to be a postman don't lead up to an event jump in straight away drip feed vital information subtly don't drop in heavy and adjustable chunks of history or description make an essential part of the current action no attention to language too many writers are so busy telling a story they fail to choose their words carefully enough all writers should try to increase their vocabulary not by using fancy words just for the sake of it writing should always be clear but by using intriguing language and new ways wind doesn't only blow it can rip roar strangle with be imaginative it's not only what you say but the way you say it absence of imagery and reliance on cliches too much fiction is flat because it lacks vibrant images cliches and metaphors that have been so overworked they cease to mean anything in sound limp and stale like as cold as ice as black as coal don't say she sighed with relief think of another way someone might show relief match your imagery to the story and character if your main character is always rushing about use the imagery related to speed send him to the greyhound track to act out his scenes or place them by a railway line where Express trains Thunder paths if your character is depressed then sent her into tunnels underpasses cellars and basements reinforce the prevailing mood but avoid the obvious don't draw the reader's attention to what you're doing just do it no sense of place people are not only the result of their genes but they are shaped by their environments so show the readers where your characters live and work if it's the sprawling suburbs then show us what does a suburban Avenue sound and smell like how does the light shine on it show us its life a man delivering charity bags from door to door really been standing by gates if someone lives in a filthy hovel behind the gasworks let's see here and touch it too many writers let their characters flow around in a vacuum don't forget to engage all the senses most writers describe how things look but how does fear taste how does anger smell what does beauty sound like be adventurous no shape or structure all fiction but especially the short story works best when it concentrates on one person in one situation that takes place in a reasonably short space of time a short story expresses a moment of change and charts the journey through the change and shows what happens at the far ends begin the story as close as possible to the moment of change don't waffle on once the change and its aftermath has happened don't allow yourself to be sidetracked learn how to pace the story when to give and when to withhold information when and how to create tension speed things up slow things down this is done by carefully choosing words not only for the sound they make but for the length of syllables writing is a craft as much as an arts if a writer needs to introduce a flashback it should be carefully signposted in and out to avoid confusion shifts in viewpoint should also be carefully introduced poor dialogue skills dialog in fiction isn't real but it must sound real keep it sharp don't allow your characters to make long confessional speeches or engage in too much cosy chit chat use it to provide essential information and above all to show character lack of technical knowledge all writers should learn or brush up their grammar by learning why things are so the most common mistakes such as confusion of it's and it's your and your mark you as a beginner learn the reasons behind the rules and you can't possibly get it wrong only when you know the rules inside and out can you be brave enough to break them the best way to learn how to do it is to read as much published fiction as you can if you read plenty by a variety of authors you cannot possibly pick up their style it will on the contrary help develop your own our top tip when you think your story is the best you can make it put it aside and leave it for as long as possible minimum one week then read it out loud your errors will leap up at you like snarling dogs now rewrite it don't forget if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your

We LOVE to read comments so please leave a comment and subscribe to Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/writerslifeorg Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about if rejection is really all that bad we're all told that as writers rejection is one of the toughest parts of the job there are countless pieces of advice on how to cope with rejection how to pick up the pieces and move on but is that necessary rejection doesn't have to be something that knocks us down and takes time to get over in fact it really isn't all that bad at all and here's why rejection is inevitable for writers its death taxes and rejection letters every writer gets rejected it's just going to happen so there's no point in hoping that somehow it won't happen to you that you'll be one of those lucky writers who lands a huge publishing deal straight away you won't the rejection will come so what is the point of getting upset about something so utterly inevitable save your energy and emotion for something more worthwhile rejection is valuable once you have cheerfully accepted the fact that you will get rejected why not then turn your attention to how you might use it to your advantage sometimes the rejection letters come with feedback these are as valuable as gold so go back over your manuscript your cover and your synopsis and think about how you can make improvements to give yourself a better chance of success next time rejection is never personal remember when an editor decides to reject your work they aren't doing it because they have some long-standing vendetta against you it's only business stay professional and don't immediately see them as your mortal enemy rejection doesn't always count some rejections don't mean anything go back and think about whether really realistically your book ever stood a chance there sometimes we all are guilty of sending our work off to publishers that aren't suitable these rejections don't count ignore them and put more effort into your research next time rejection is subjective so there may be certain trends or algorithms editors are using to decide whether your book will appeal to the masses but at the end of the day it's still going to be down to the personal taste you also can never be sure of the circumstances when your book reaches the top of the pile they may have read two other promising and similar stories that day they might be in a particularly bad mood they may have forgotten to eat breakfast and be distracted by their hunger any number of factors can influence their decision and apart from writing the best book you can and giving the best pitch you can give they are pretty much entirely out of your control rejection isn't that bad we're often told that rejection is crushing and soul-destroying and heartbreaking it's all pretty dramatic it's all too easy to be influenced by this to get sucked in but really what's the points getting overly upset about rejection is a waste of our precious time so have some more respect for yourself and your work and accept rejection for what it is an opinion and that's all we'd all prefer to get a positive response over a rejection however if we can be a bit more practical about it and face the fact that it's going to happen stead of having what seems to be the widely accepted reaction of immediately turning into a wailing wreck and claiming we'll never write again we could instead accept it be a bit thicker skinned and you may just be able to use it to make you a better writer if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free writers toolkit it can help you overcome procrastination get organized stay focused and get your book published just head to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit to download your FREE copy and if you enjoyed this video don't forget to give it a thumbs up turn on our notifications and subscribe down below and be sure to visit writer's life.org for my writing tips and tricks and i'll see you next time

http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello there its Peter here again from Writer's Life and today ways you might be self sabotaging your writing career one thing many writers have in common is their ability to self-sabotage writers can often be so unfairly negative about themselves and their work it is as if they are their own worst enemy bar the obvious negative effect this has on once self-esteem this self-sabotage also naturally has an effect on a writer's ability to succeed having put so much time energy and care into your work doesn't it seems something of a shame if you are the one who gets in the way of your own success be open to the possibility of actually being a successful writer is so important it's not just about look or even about talent it's also about having a positive mindset and the determination to keep going even when the chips are down so what are the signs to look out for which may suggest you are sabotaging your writing career here are some of the most common and first you've fallen out of love with writing gone are the days where you felt excited and elated every time you sat down to write lately it feels so much more forced your stories like the passion and flow of earlier times and you keep getting distracted or finding any excuse to leave your work and go and do something else if this sounds like you you need to think about what might be causing you to feel this way if you can understand the cause as to why your writing doesn't fulfill you as it used to you can tackle it head-on make a list of all the things you love about writing and all the obstacles that stop you from doing it or enjoy it as you should focus on what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest and next you've lost confidence in your ability to write if you started to feel negative about your writing ability and everything you write seems terrible this negativity is bound to have an impact on the quality of your writing overall perhaps it's time to reassess how you critique your work are you too hard on yourself or perhaps you need to go back to basics and start again producing a great piece of writing is a slow and laird process but it's essential that you remain confident in your ability to achieve what you want to achieve next you're suffering from the dreaded writer's block if you simply can't find any inspiration and every time you sit down to write your mind goes blank there could be an underlying reason that has locked you in a downward spiral and you need to get yourself out of it before your career starts to suffer it's hard to be creative when you are feeling stressed or anxious so try to find ways to clear your mind and relax so that you have the necessary freedom to write find inspiration by joining a writing group apps taking up a new hobby maybe traveling or just experimenting with your writing to see if it in a new direction reinvigorates you once more and next when you do get some interest you worry too much if an agent or publisher shows interest in your book it's important to accept this as an awesome compliment some writers end up self sabotaging by immediately finding the enormity of finishing their book or making suggested revisions too overwhelming they feel like an impostor becomes suspicious and uncertain and pest to the agent or publisher so much that eventually the deal falls through remember if you do get interest you are in a considerable minority it's okay to be nervous but try to be calm and professional and stay confident in your ability to get the job done next you finish your work and never send it off a classic sign of writer self-sabotage is that dusty old manuscript that sits shrouded in shame at the bottom of a desk drawer or those many drafty emails to agents and publishers that have been sitting ready to go for months if you have finished your work spent a sensible amount of time and focus editing it and crafted a solid submission later it's time to let it go you are probably never going to feel your work is perfect or good enough to submit but if you want to stand a chance there has to be a point where you let it go if yourself sabotaging your writing career it's time to figure out why once you start giving it some thought the reasons should become pretty clear so just listen to yourself your instincts and try to nip it in the bud as soon as possible and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll find out how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to right and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go

We LOVE to read comments so please leave a comment and subscribe to Our channel: https://www.youtube.com/writerslifeorg Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org and today we'll be talking about what book editors hate a piece of advice every writer should follow is to hire a professional editor to go through their work once they have completed their book however to actually prepare your manuscript for that stage it's a good idea to be aware of the common pitfalls that writers fall into and if you know what editors hate you can make their lives easier and save you time and money too not only is it good to look out for and fix the mistakes that editors hate before you send your book to them but also for when you send your book to publishers and agents if you want them to seriously consider your work checking that you have already eliminated any of these editors bugbears from your book before you send it off will give you a much better chance of success so what is it that editors hates let's take a look no basic grasp of grammar or spelling if every second word is a spelling mistake and every sentence is punctuated incorrectly it's going to take a huge effort and many hours to get through your book this will mean editors have less time to concentrate on structure character development and plot elements which is important to receive feedback on do yourself a favor and run your manuscript through a spelling and grammar check before you pass it on to an editor huge passages focusing on backstory having backstory is a useful device for establishing your characters and allowing the readers insight into their past lives however if you focus too much on backstory both the editor and the reader will get bored include details that are relevant and necessary cut the rest out an entire chapter where the character is walking somewhere driving somewhere or sitting in bed reminiscing an excellent book will be fast paced and full of action if the character spends too much time getting somewhere or reminiscing about something this slows down the pace of your book a pet peeve of editors melodrama making your story overly dramatic and make it seem farcical and unbelievable readers need to buy into your story to believe it editor's know that and so should you making the same point over and over again if you draw out a point laboriously or repeat it in different ways over and over again it simply looks like you're trying to hit a word count rather than write a story that appeals to your readers you say something well you only need to say it once going into too much detail creativity is all about having poetic license and beautiful descriptions can be really effective in a book and enhance your story significantly however when you spend an entire paragraph describing a vase in your character's living room it better seriously be significant otherwise you need to cut it down over writing is a big no-no for editor silly inconsistencies when you are editing and redrafting your novel look out for inconsistencies these can be anything from where character is standing to the time of year inconsistencies are easy to make but will frustrate your editor as these should be picked up by you repetitive vocabulary if you continuously use the same descriptive word this will quickly get tiresome for your readers try to be unique and exciting with all of your descriptions if you know you've overused a word try doing a Find and Replace search of your manuscript so you can easily pick these up and change them long passages of dialogue dialogue creates immediacy can drive the action forward and reveals more about your characters however don't turn every piece of dialogue into a massive speech or monologue use it as a device to break up the narrative instead telling rather than showing editors hate it when you tell the reader something rather than showing them comb through your novel and pick up instances of when you're doing this this will save your editor having to point them all out for you if you can go through your manuscript before you send it to an editor agent or publisher and look out for these 10 things you make their and your lives so much easier so make sure you take the time to edit your book first thoroughly and you'll find you get so much more out of your editor and are more likely to have a positive response from a publisher too don't forget if you're having a hard time writing or finishing your book check out our free writers toolkit it can help you overcome procrastination get

hello there is Peter here again from Writer's life and today past all present tense the pros and cons when creating any new piece of writing selecting the tense in which to write is often something and also struggles with not longer your writing in the past tense was strongly favored and particularly with works of fiction it was very rare to find a novel written in the present tense however in recent years this has changed and we have seen a shift to the present tense with some writers believing that writing using the past tense makes the work itself seem somehow old-fashioned so what has made the past tense increasingly unpopular and the present tense now the tense of choice well it seems for most seasoned writers it's an instinctive and natural decision however for many novice writers this is just another choice to fret over so it's important to understand what they have Vantage's and disadvantages of each might be so here we've broken these down so authors can make an informed choice when deciding which tends to write in so first the present tense the prose present tense creates immediacy in a way that the past tense cannot it allows the reader to experience changes in the story and changes to its characters as they happen this creates a bond between the reader and characters as they experience things together simultaneously therefore tension suspense and drama can be more easily calm vade characters become more lifelike and tangible and real and selecting the present tense when describing a character truly reflects their nature drawing the reader closer to them the use of the present tense also reflects the overall theme of the book if your book tells the story of events that happened to your main character in the past but he or she tells them in the present tense the effect can be very powerful simply by telling the events in this way the author is hinting at a past that is very much part of the narrator's presence and perhaps will always be so using the present tense in your work also simplifies how we use the other tenses in the story when writing in the past tense is slightly that a writer will dip in and out of the other 12 tenses that we use in the English language however using the present tense restricts our use of the others with the majority of stories written in the present tense only using the simple present the present progressive and occasionally the simple past and simple future even then the majority of the writing is likely to be kept in the simple present this simplicity can be used cleverly to the writers advantage conveying clear ideas and allowing the reader to fully immerse themselves in the story with no confusion about when the events took place and now the present tense the comments if employing the present tense in our writing we become restricted with how we can describe time try to manipulate a sequence of events or change the chronological order will be difficult and potentially confusing to the reader the point of the present tense is to tell a series of events as they unfold if you don't want to evoke the feeling that what you are writing is happening now then the present tense is not a good choice building a multi-layered characters is more of a challenge if you use the present tense because you can no longer influence the order of events or the duration it's difficult to put across the characters own personal experience of the time how they understand the past the more context we have for a character the more we are able to understand them and their motivations for why they are a certain way now without the kind of context flashbacks into the past there is a risk of the characters committeth across as tediously uncomplicated suspense is harder to convey with a story written in the present tense the protagonists of a present tense story don't have any idea what is going to happen to them from one moment to the next and subsequently neither does the reader tension and suspense come from having that knowledge knowing that something is about to happen whether the protagonist is aware of it or not finally if we are not careful use of the present tense can cause us to be sloppy while the past tense allows us to write selectively and only include necessary plot advancing details using the present tense more naturally encourages inclusion of mundane irrelevant details because such events will happen in a natural sequence of time before beginning any work it is worth thinking about which tense will best suit your story each have their own advantages which if use Cleverley could enhance your work whatever you do make sure you pick wisely as it's certainly not an easy job to go back and change when you are halfway through your book and don't forget if

hello its Peter here again from Writer's Life and today how to write useful a chapter outlines writing chapter outlines can be an incredibly helpful way of staying organized and motivated to write your story many writers choose to write chapter outlines before they begin their book doing so means they can see for sure that their story will work it's a more detailed overview of the plot down and how to ensure that each chapter drives the story forward so what sort of things are useful to include in a chance at outline let's take a look first focus on the key plot points remember while your chunks are our lines should be thorough you also want to keep it succinct focus on the key events that will take place at the chapter note down the action points and make sure they fit into your story as a whole next describe how your character feels at the beginning and the end take some time to think about how your character is feeling at the beginning of each chapter and how the events that take place throughout it change them remember your character should always be growing and changing so make sure that you take their emotions into account and next how does each chapter flow to and from the next each of your chapters should fit seamlessly into your story and flow from one to the other when creating your chapter outline is to make sure they fit into your overall plot if they feel disjointed ask yourself if they are really Ness does your chapter start and end in a way that grips the reader make sure that every chapter in your book is gripping it should start by immediately drawing the reader in and immersing them in the scene and should end in such a way that they want to keep on turning those pages next how does the chapter advance the story each chapter needs to have a purpose by the time the reader has finished the chapter the story should have moved on if the chapter doesn't advance a story it might need a revision or removal from the book altogether remember to review your chapter outlines frequently chapter outlines shouldn't be rigid they need to be flexible as when you begin to write your story you could end up going on a different track and that's okay just make sure you review your chunks and outlines while you were writing your book and prepare to change them if necessary spending time and making an effort to write chapter outlines that are really useful can make all the difference when you begin to write your novel providing structure and allowing you to see your story as a whole so whether you're just starting out or even if you are halfway through writing your novel consider using chapter outlines to help you write more efficiently and make sure your story stays on the right track now don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to like this video and subscribe to our Channel I'll see you next timeHow to Approach Blogger for Reviews - WritersLife.org

it can be very distracting and you run the risk of losing the attention of your reader if you want to be sure readers understand the emotion of the scene why not use an action instead for example she dug her nails into the palms of her hands as she spoke this is far more powerful and will keep the reader interested as well as giving them an image to work with rather than pointing out to them exactly how the character feels next the dreaded actions everyone has some sort of accents and if your characters are from a particular part of the world you may wish to get that across in their dialect this is fine and in fact can be a fantastic way to enrich your characters and make them appeal to the reader however if you overdo it it can completely destroy your dialogue readers don't want to have to struggle to understand the character with an accent so thick you would have to keep asking them to repeat themselves if you were having a face-to-face conversation use an accent sparingly you could still get it across without making your prose confused and silly keep it short and sweet small talk is not necessary use dialogue to create drama and to advance the story we don't need to hear everything a character might say to another ie all the normal pleasantries you might hear in an everyday conversation your dialogue should be interesting and full of energy keep a dialogue where possible - a couple of sentences at a time any more than this and you the risk of using the dialogue to convey information that a person would never believably say in an authentic conversation remember the most important thing is that your reader believes this is a conversation that characters could have if they have to work hard to believe it it will become tedious to read remember the best way to create strong dialogue is to practice it writers have to be disciplined creatures and setting some time your writing schedule to practice writing dialogue or amending and improving dialogue you've already written is by far the best way to achieve this read your dialogue out loud and if it doesn't sound right then rewrite it again and again until it does if you're struggling to write or finish your book remember our free writers toolkit can help you with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit and that's it for now be sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel for more and I'll see you next timeWhy You Need to Create a Vision Board -

next get into the rights frame of mind when it comes to sitting down to write you'll know what makes you at your most focused creative and productive if you set aside all your writing time for 5:00 a.m. when you know you hate getting up early you'll probably quickly find it's pretty tough to live up to your expectations make sure that you've set time to write when you know there will be few distractions and you'll feel motivated and excited to do it and next understand what you are capable of be realistic about what you can expect from yourself if you aren't you're just setting yourself up for a fall you don't have to be the most prolific and dedicated writer in the world you just need to figure out what works for you ask yourself where you want to be when you want to get there and what you are truly capable of and then create your deadlines around that next use a timer using a timer can be a really helpful way of making sure you stick to your planned writing sessions if you say you are going to write for an hour three times a week each time you sit down to set a timer for that amount of time make sure you don't go over or under your time doing more can be damaging as you then don't have time for other tasks which could leave you feeling stressed out and resenting your writing which you will put you off doing it again and next take rakes make sure you take regular breaks away from your writing if you get too immersed in it you may end up burning yourself out it's always good to finish a writing session on a high and start each new one feeling refreshed and ready to work next be strict with yourself once you've set yourself a goal and deadlines it's time to stop making excuses it's all too easy to start negotiating with yourself but this won't get you anywhere and you end up feeling really guilty and disappointed with yourself so once the deadline has been set do everything in your power to stick with it reward yourself rewarding yourself for achieving your goals within your allotted time frame can be a great incentive to want with some small and large rewards to entice you to keep on going and next be okay with imperfections remember you are going to have a great writing session every time you write nor are you going to be happy with what you've written all the time don't dwell on imperfections and don't let your own self doubts or negativity stop you from reaching a deadline setting realistic writing deadlines is crucial to keep you motivated moving forward and feeling satisfied with your writing so next time you starts writing projects use these tips to help create your goals and timetable and you'll give yourself the best chance of staying on track now don't forget if you struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to like this video and subscribe to our channel for more and I'll see you next timeToo Afraid to Write Take Action Now! -

It may be that you have never written anything it may be that you used to write years ago and are deliberating about whether to try again it may be that you wrote something last week but now for some reason feel as though you can't write anymore facing your fears about writing is something that all writers must do at some point we all have moments of doubt of feeling we aren't good enough or perhaps moments of fear that we will be laughed at or rejected or simply that we'll keep writing for years and never achieve our goals there is no doubt that writing can be a scary business and there are no guarantees for any of us but if writing is your passion and your dream letting fear stand in your way is something that just won't do so how can you take action to conquer your writing fears let's take a look at some tried and tested techniques first fear of failure fear of failure is a very common writers fear it's not surprising as failure for a writer can take many forms whether it's receiving a rejection letter or feeling you failed yourself because your work isn't progressing as you'd like the worry that you'll fail can stop some writers in their tracks try to remember that being creative is about taking risks it's scary and messy and chaotic it sometimes flows and bursts with energy and sometimes stops and hides away accepting that writing is a process of discovery and then it won't always be steady and constants can help writers to let go of this fear remember the more you practice your writing the better at it you'll become and the better you become the more confident you'll feel just break the cycle of fear and keep pushing through and as long as you keep going you can't fail next fear a feeling of like a fraud even if you are an incredibly successful writer you may still have that weird sense of impostor syndrome that you aren't really supposed to be successful and that it's all a massive mistake and that one day now you'll get found out except that if you are writing that makes you a writer no matter if you've never had anything published or you've written a best-seller you don't have to prove yourself to anyone you don't need to make anyone like your writing many writers are so scared of not getting the approval they crave that they stop writing altogether if they don't write no one can dislike their writing if they don't write they never have to be pushed outside of their comfort zone it's okay to believe in yourself and to be proud of everything that you have achieved remember that you don't have to show your work to anyone until you are ready and when you feel ready you feel as though you have put the work in and therefore if you do get recognition accept it because you deserve it next fear of running out of ideas many writers share the common fear that one day they just won't have anything left to say this can be particularly true if you've already written something that has done quite well how will you ever top it how will you ever find anything interesting and real worthy to write again the truth is that writers rarely run out of ideas if they don't want to there are so many different ways to gather inspiration and you never know when a great idea for your next story might strike so accept that this fear is irrational and there will always be things you can do to get those creative juices flowing once more a next fear of having no control when we write our stories before we share them with anyone they are completely our own and we are in total control the idea that we then have to part with them send them off without any way of being able to control the outcome or even the timeline can be particularly challenging for writers suddenly this project you have put all your self into it's no longer your own this can feel very daunting indeed try to accept those things you cannot change once you have put your work out there you have to allow for the fact that it is no longer entirely yours all pieces of writing are collaborations between you the author your editor your publisher and most importantly your reader you cannot have complete control but that's okay no true artist is entirely in control of their work because it is subjective to those who receive it you can't control how people will react to your stories but that's what's so magical about them as no two readers will take away the same from it how cool is that writing can be daunting but it also has so many positives so if you're feeling too scared to write try to take a deep breath take the plunge and don't let fear get in way of anything you want to do now don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination

write about let's face it dreams of jetting around the world to stage stunning hotels wandering around beautiful beaches the triangle local delicacies is pretty appealing right and if you can get to the top of your game someone will actually pay you to do all of that just for writing about it it certainly doesn't sound like a bad career choice if you ask me however breaking into travel writing can be tricky and if you're hoping to give it a go there are several things that you need to know before you sit down and put pen to paper first know your area now that is not to say you have to be a seasoned traveler to become a travel writer obviously it helps if you've been to the places you're writing about but if you're just setting out with limited time and money this may be difficult if you can't jet off an explorer just yet then make sure you do some Sora research before you start read a lot about the area before you start to make sure you're fully clued up on the cuisine culture and things to see and do watching videos is another great way to immerse yourself in a place and really understand the atmosphere out there when it comes to writing your article you need to understand and follow the same basic structure every time there are the typical questions that every reader will want to know when reading a travel article where when who why how on what are all the basic that should form the basis of the article this is true of many feature articles and news stories you need to give the reader this information to engage them and keep them reading get a good brief travel articles come in all shapes and sizes some editors are looking for factual non flowery pieces that simply describe things in a matter-of-fact way packing the content with useful factually accurate information and nothing more others however are looking for a piece full of anecdotes and rich descriptive language which tells a story and helps the reader to truly imagine what it would be like to be there perhaps persuading them that they need to book that ticket right away getting a solid brief from an editor means that you know what kind your articles should be and write it up accordingly next knowledge and passion knowledge and passion are usually desirable and should come across in your writing the vast majority of travel articles are written in order to persuade the reader to make them interested in that particular place and ignite a desire in them to visit it themselves even if you have been asked to write a more factual piece there's still room for this to come across as with all articles your lead must be succinct and attention rubbing and you must immediately make it clear where you are talking about the when is where you can bring in details about the season the who is the writers perspective and an opportunity to connect with the reader the why explains the reason the writer is in that particular destination the how is the storyline and what are the details the facts the stories of people end your article on a high end your article on a high summarizing what the article is about in an interesting way and if required and sure you have a strong and clear call-to-action so your readers know exactly what they need to do next travel writing is a fantastic industry to write for and can lead to some truly wonderful life-changing experiences so if you're

What if you have so many ideas for your novel that the idea of an outline completely overwhelms you?

Read the article here on our blog: http://www.WritersLife.org/how-to-organize-ideas-for-a-novel/
