HOW MANY WORDS? - HOW MANY CHAPTERS?

It's never that easy to estimate eventual length of your first work but (as a rough guide) if you are planning on turning out 10/12 chapters your word count should be somewhere between 30,000 to 35,000 words; for 12/15 chapters allow for 35,000 to 45,000 words. Do not set firm targets at outset though because as your list of contents develops so too will potential number of chapters in final draft. Some material will merge with other data, some will expand, and some will disappear altogether.

HOW DRAFY COPY HELPS TO SHAPE THE FINAL PRODUCT

Even with a fully structured outline to work from (which we’ll discuss in next chapter), committing first paragraph to your word processor can often prove problematic. When you’ve accomplished opening salvo and it is to your liking, press on with composition but stop now and again to review what you have written. Doing it this way, your output operates much in same way as a fountain; ideas spill out presenting you with new angles and twists in direction. This will continue to happen every time you return to work on your draft copy – and all to betterment of final product.

DEVELOPING A DISTINCTIVE TITLE FOR YOUR BOOK

The title of your book depicts very first words that anyone reads; it is catalyst that determines whether anything else is read. As such it is an instrument of ultimate consequence. When title is plumb center, it hits bull's eye; when it's off center, it's off wall. Treat development of a distinctive title as essential work that you cannot start on too soon, but never settle for first suggestion that springs to mind, no matter how brilliant it strikes you at time. Keep working on it, polishing it, developing power words that will transform it into a masterful catch phrase that compels prospect to turn pages. Even when you have done all this to your satisfaction, you may find that a publisher alters it. Don't balk or consider change as interference. Publishers know better than authors do what constitutes a winning title.

Remember too that a powerful sub-title that sells title itself is of equal necessity. In my new course I discuss how to wrap both into a commanding double-edged designation.

Your ability to plan for fulfilment will hinge largely on how effectively you manage your time. If this is a problem for you, draw down my complimentary e-report at this website http://1st-creative-writing-course.com/makemoney.html

Ever since I have written. It doesn’t matter what others say or think about my writings, because I know what these poems meant and history behind each one. Knowing that every single poem has a story and emotion greater than comprehension of others give me satisfaction when receiving flame mails stating that I suck potatoes or bananas are more interesting than my poetry.

Writers write not because of what others think. We write because it makes us feel great about putting something on paper that will stay apart of us forever. No matter how much someone says our writing stinks, there will be ten others who appreciate time, effort and emotion put into each one, and we will know that our writing was meant for us and only us.
