Some Ideas About How To Write Fiction

A writer of fiction is simply a person who makes up stories. He or she is just a perfectly normal human being who has found out that they can put stories down on paper that make other people really interested, excited and amused.

Who becomes a writer? In the 20th and 21st centuries, practically everybody who has finally become a successful writer of fiction has started out in a different job, for example as a schoolteacher, a doctor or whatever. The reason is clear. You cannot “get a job” as a writer.

Let’s think about my genre, young adult stories – or some might call them “children’s stories.” Actually there is no such thing as a “children’s story”. Alice in Wonderland, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist (by Charles Dickens), Treasure Island (by Robert Louis Stevenson), Kim (by Kipling) and many, many more are for people between 5 and 122 years old.

So what I am writing about is not about how to write a book for children, or young adults, or whatever, but just about the nature of writing, as far as I understand it. My own books are intended as entertainment for people of all ages, at least for all people who have not forgotten what it is to be a child and to live in a world of adventure and excitement.

There is no recipe for writing of course. But here are some of my ideas and suggestions: Continue reading Some Ideas About How To Write Fiction

Sure, there may be a huge market for talented freelancers in your area, but let’s face it, it is not New York where you can find countless job vacancies in your field of freelance writing. When you are looking for freelance writing work, it is important to look outside the box as well as trying the tried and true employment options.

As writers work to build their career, it can be challenging to do so if they do not live in an area that is known for having publishers.

As it turns out, I was not doing anything wrong, I was just starting too big. I was trying to begin the journey from the destination and missing the whole point… Writing IS a journey.

Now, five years wiser I’d like to share some tips that gave me a taste of success and paid the bills before my first book deal.
