EVERY MANS BATTLE NOTES OUTLINE FREE
If your first few readers spot any typos you missed, you can upload a corrected version, and offer those readers a free coupon for the corrected version too.

And it surely doesn't take much to write better than Enid Blyton (What a surprise!)Īn online friend, whose own writing was cited in the first article mentioned above, commented that he had written a few children's books, but was deterred from preparing them for publication, or self-publishing them on a site like Smashwords, because as an academic he would not be able to put them on his CV. I don't find the comparison flattering, because I never liked the Famous Five as a child, finding the very term "Famous Five" rather pretentious and silly, and preferred Blyton's "Adventure" and "Secret" series, which had more interesting plots, even if they weren't better written. Most of the fiction I have tried to write have been children's stories (like the early Alan Garner), and some of my reviewers have compared them to Enid Blyton's "Famous Five" stories. One can't do that in a month when one is dependent onīut I'd still like to see more stories in the genre of Charles WilliamsĪnd the early Alan Garner, so, to my friends who like those authors I say: please get writing, but do find your own So I have to check other books to see if I've got the background Now I'm writing a story that leads me into unfamiliar territory, and I often start writing a story and have no more idea than the characters in the story where it will end up.

Taken my own advice and tried to write such a novel. I don't regret giving that advice, but I do see its limitations, having Now I have in the past challenged people to join NaNoWriMo and write a novel in the genre of Charles which is a criticism of those who write fan fiction (fanfic) and write on National What not to write, and that is where this article comes in: So this article is an encouragement to carry on writing:īut there is also the question of what to write, and, even more important, Is it just a way of filling in time between retirement and death?
