Lynette Rees
I’ve already recommended buying Lynette Rees’ e-book, CRAFTING THE ROMANCE STORY. This e-book is a great buy. It is directed at the romance writer, but all writers will benefit from it. It is clear, practical, and sound. Use it as a workbook carefully doing the exercises and reading the links. It will save you time and focus your effort. Your writing will improve.
For fun and relaxation or for a model to base your writing, you may also want to get her romances and mysteries. They sweep you up into them. Look for these: WATCHING YOU, A TASTE OF HONEY, IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER, and RETURN TO WINTER. They are packed with romance, mystery, and good humor.
Following her blog is interesting and worthwhile for any writer. http://www.nettiesramblings.blogspot.com/
Right now on her blog site are links to some of the ezine articles she has written like Develop a Killer Plot, Setting as a Character, Seven Ways to Inject Suspense into Your Novel, and Seven Ways to Keep Your Editor Happy. After reading her articles you may want to stay on the ezine site and browse awhile. It appears to have many many articles for writers.
All these things can maximize your progress, make the end result more certain, and make the journey more fun, but the bottom line remains that to be a writer, you have to write. Write something. Write anything. Right now!
