LEARN HOW TO WRITE

Before you start writing a book, learn how to write. It you do not write with style, you will not sell books. It's as simple as that. Today I listened to an interview with an award-winning author who offered great advice. He said, "Read The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White." You may remember Mr. White as the author of Charlotte's Web, a most touching and memorable story.

Why is Charlotte's Web so memorable? Simple. The writing is so good that it resonates and it is memorable, which are the two elements that make a book a classic. You, the author, want your book to be in that category.

As my father always told me, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." Don't waste your time writing something mediocre - write for long term success and write with style. It will pay off.

If you think that your writing is not stellar, no problem. You can learn how to write. The rules are written in many books, but The Elements of Style is a great place to start. Follow the advice of those who have achieved success and you will do well.

Be hard on yourself and you will create a work worthy of pride.
