Want to be a Writer? Then Do It
Properly by Albert Jack
Better Late Than Never
Discovering Albert Jack’s book of
advice for new writers came too late for my first book, but perfectly timed for
my second. Packed with information and guidance, I took copious amounts of
notes before concluding I needed the book in print, so I ordered a paperback.
I found the most appreciated
recommendation about writing narrative: to get the plot and ideas down first, and
then add dialogue. This relieves my current struggle of interrupting the flow of
ideas while trying to write dialogue, the simple fact to write first and add dialogue
later, works. I’ll try a chapter at a time, but the way my mind works, I’m
confident in success.
Unaware all submissions should be
presented with 1.5 line spacing surprised me, I thought 2.0, double spacing.
Consider reading, Want to be a
Writer? Then Do It Properly by Albert Jack, because it includes easy and significant
approaches for writers to develop their skill.
