This site is brand new

Thursday, January 7th, 2010 - Blog, Reading

When I was a teenager I wanted to be a writer.  But I had no idea how to go about it.  I had never met an author.  I couldn’t believe the words I scribbled down on scraps of paper would one day be turned into actual books.  And I didn’t have a clue how to get my ideas on the page in a way that worked.  Over the last fifteen years (ish), I’ve learned loads of things about being a writer.  I wanted to share with you my thoughts on writing, my insights into character and plot, and some great exercises and writing techniques that will really help you get your own writing off the ground.  I’m still just finishing up getting this site up and running, but soon I’ll post an easy exercise to help you generate new ideas.

For tonight, I’m just going to ask you what you’re reading.  I think reading is essential to good writing.  Lots of what I learned about being a writer I learned through reading great books.  I’m just about to start Arthur Slade’s The Hunchback Assignments.  I’ll let you know what I think (I hear good things about it!)
