These writing tips were extrapolated by Maggie from the book On Writing , which I read in the original some time ago, finding it one of the best books on writing. #1 – Stop watching television. Instead, read as much as you can Holy words. I don't watch TV much, but as a kid every day and I regret it. I would have read hundreds more books by now. Today I only watch television after dinner and only if there is a film that interests me (I don't watch any other type of programme). If I'm very tired, or have a headache, I prefer watching a film than reading, also because in those cases I really can't concentrate on reading.
Rating: 7. #2 – Prepare yourself for more failure and criticism than you think you can handle I'm prepared, also because I have a whole life of failures in every field, so it doesn't worry me at all. I've also had them in the publishing field and I talked about the first one some time ago. Then there were 3 proposals that I sent, in terms of ideas for as many books, Phone Number Data which did not have a positive outcome. But I wasn't discouraged at all. Rating: 10. #3 – Don't waste time trying to make people like you I really don't care if people like me, no offense to anyone. Hey, professor, you're talking to an antisocial, misanthropic and loner by nature. People never liked me and people never liked me. So no problem, professor, really. Since I was a child I have been chronically misunderstood.
There was me with my tastes and my dreams and there was the enormous pile of others. Two distinct and separate entities. Rating: 10. #4 – Write mostly for yourself I always say it. And I reiterated it when I talked about how he must be a winning writer . It is useless in the field of fiction to discover readers' tastes and listen to your audience, especially since you have no audience at the beginning. I write for myself and that's it. It's the only way to write, the only way I know, the only possible. Of course, if I were to write the first novel in a fantasy trilogy about a werewolf who falls in love with a vampire and that novel only sells 2 copies, I wouldn't be stupid enough to write and publish the rest of the trilogy, would you? Rating: 10. #5 – Tackle the things that are hardest to write This is tough, professor, but maybe I understand what you mean.
