It's a lot to absorb, but take it step by step and learn it at your own pace :)Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-51193484280985662222015-10-02T20:25:53.485-04:002015-10-02T20:25:53.485-04:00As a newbie at this, I'm finding out that all ...As a newbie at this, I'm finding out that all the advise at this post is priceless.

If not, look for other ways that do.Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-71702165112974184472014-12-11T04:15:08.106-05:002014-12-11T04:15:08.106-05:00Well, it would be great if you first prepare some ...Well, it would be great if you first prepare some major outlines for the fictions that you want to write about and then follow those outlines in writing more and more about those and then at last review what's the most important part and then summarize the outlines.description writinghttp://www.descriptionwriting.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-28726101178045996322012-03-20T13:02:25.668-04:002012-03-20T13:02:25.668-04:00Wise words!Wise words!Janice Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356672149097741248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-46245185736501007712012-03-20T08:08:04.844-04:002012-03-20T08:08:04.844-04:00Definitely butt in the chair and write, write, wri...Definitely butt in the chair and write, write, write. Even if it's in diary form, just get something down.
