So You Want to Write a Book?

[Grizzly Wulff]

I'm sure that at one time or another we've all read a novel and thought, "I could write something better than this". Well, I think I can. As part of the process I've started a new web blog called, "So you Want to Write a Book?" It's a journal of what I learn as I write, and hopefully publish, my book. On the blog I share what it's like to be a new writer, what resources I use, what I learn about the craft of writing,how the book develops, and things you might find useful when you write your own Great American Novel."

The book is a Suspense/Thriller about a retired international security specialist and part-time fly fishing guide named Fletcher Lanigan. If you'd like to follow along as I write and publish you can check out my blog at http://nickpearce-fictionwriter.com/.

So drop by, take a look, and leave me a comment.

Blog looks good, I wish you success. some bloggers make a good deal of money just off the blogs perhaps there is something in this. Some of the novels published in the 1800's were originally serials in news papers each week another chapter was published. perhaps you can do this with your blog and by pass the publisher, the way the music industry is by passing the recording companies.

Eric -

Stephen King did a similar thing in the 90's with The Green Mile. He released it one-chapter-at-a-time, but I'm no Stephen King.

Good luck, John Gresham's first book, "A Time to Kill" was a hobby project, it only sold about 4,000 copies at first. I wasn't until "The Client" took off that the public took notice. He only does book signings at the handful of stores that supported his initial offering.

That IS exciting, and I'm sure your progress will be helpful to aspiring writers! Best of luck to you!
