How to be a published author in this century

August 30, 2009 By: jessicazafra Category: Books, Technology

First you have to write something.

Everyone thinks she’s a writer, but how many have actually produced a manuscript? Never mind a manuscript worth putting out in book form.

There are many approaches to writing. Some people major in creative writing, others join writing workshops and creativity seminars, still others devour manuals and how-to books. I recommend the most basic approach.

Take pen and paper. Write.

Publishing in the 21st century, the ultra-condensed version, in Emotional Weather Report, today in the Star.

    Wow I can’t believe you just said one of the most important tenets in writing. The other tenet I follow is “put glue in your bum, sit and write”.
