Back stories increase value if properly executed

Image
Hey There! Hope you are having a wonderful day or evening. Had a lot to do today before doing any kind of writing. Have a family to attend to and they have to come first! Family Time is vial! I took a sample of my novel before the revision process and submitted to a Facebook group for an honest critique. Gutsy right? Hey, I need to make sure my stories are up to standard. The corrections were brutal. They didn't hold back in their process and told me of prevalent grammatical errors. That was expected but what stood out to me the most was one particular author asking why they should care about the main character. Savage. But, I don't blame her because I didn't add any supporting background. No one had a backstory as to how they came to be. Looking back, there was a big mistake in rushing, producing shallow characters. Characters without value will cause a well-intentioned book to collect dust! Composing novels is supposed to be a work of art that must b...

Lost in my story!

Hello! How are you today? Have to say that at first, no inspiration came. My mind was an empty plain that didn't produce anything until Sunday. However, when I finally immersed myself into my novel revision, it was comparable to being in a secured cell of joy! Total Bliss! If you wish to lose yourself in your writing, focus on your intent. Be stubborn about what your mind ponders on. If it's not your story then it is a distraction! There is nothing worse than being disconnected from your characters and story! Simply going through the motions in literature is not enough and an avid reader can tell the difference. Immerse yourself in your thoughts! This is the reason why I didn't force myself to work on my revision until I had a desire also the passion to do so. Some will tell you that I am doing it wrong that I should compose anyway. I will be honest, I do try this and see where it leads but if I am not satisfied with the results, I stop. Can't wa...

How I get my inspiration

Image
Inspiration comes from everything [and] from the entire world, and it's hard to pinpoint one thing. I can trace one inspiration to the writing of 13th-century Zen master Dogen Zenji, who writes beautifully about time. Ruth Ozeki- Don't Miss your opportunity for inspiration! They say that inspiration for artist, writers, actors, etc is unpredictable and in a sense they are right, however, there is a way to increase the odds. Its a given that at some point you are going to be staring at a blank sheet of paper or a computer screen, not having a thought in your head. The point is spending less and less time in this all too familiar position. I remember my grandmother advising me often to read biographies of people surrounding my interest. Would love to peruse through Stephen King's bio and also Sue Grafton or Danielle Steel. They are veterans in their field and obviously have a lot to say about their methods of gathering their sparks or  ideas! Seek guida...
