So many people keep saying that you should write what you know.
You don’t have to write about what you know. Keating had written a decade’s worth of successful Inspector novels before he ever visited India, where the books are set. You can write what you don’t know.
Another False Statement: Everyone can write – That is so not true. It’s not something you simply learn and become passable at producing, like drawing a tree.
You should have "The Sign" upon you! That thing! That amazing thing that makes you get out of bed every day and write.
Are you interested in others? Curious about the world? Love books? Love words? Love a good story? Have you ever filled a notebook for the fun of it? Kept a diary? Written for no reason other than to put down an idea? Become fascinated by a writer? Or a book, a story – a sentence?
if any of the above things make your heart go "pitter-patter-books," then you need to write and write and after you write, write.
I have been taking a corresdpondence course from The Institute of Children's Literature. I have really enjoyed the challenges. They have forced me to look at things from a different angle. I am taking the class in "Writing for Children's Magazines."
After the course, I will post the lessons here and the teacher comments so that you can see how it went. You might find inspiration and help, just by seeing my lessons.
