Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello its Peter here a game from writers life and today why pays to take risks with your writing when it comes to writing books regardless of whether you choose to self publish or try to win a traditional publishing deal the competition has never been fiercer readers are overwhelmed with choice and writers often find trying to make their book stand out from the ground and daunting and seemingly impossible tasks it can be easy to play it safe with your writing just try to stick to the rules of a genre and to regurgitates a tried and tested story that seems to appeal to a mass audience but if you do so your book is more than likely to simply become an echo of something already out there written by someone with more experience whose popularity has already been established if you choose to take risks however while the stakes may be higher it's arguable that you stand a far greater chance of making your book more discoverable distinguishable and desirable than those that don't but why is that taking risks shows you are willing to put your neck on the line a risk tic is someone who is brave they are willing to take a chance a leap into the unknown someone who is willing to commit all the time and energy it takes to write a book knowing that it does not pander to the masses this is undeniably impressive and demonstrates a commitment to the craft that other writers who are simply copycat versions of each other do not show taking risks will make your work stand out in an overcrowded marketplace writers need to do anything they can to make their books stand out if you are able to write a book which appeals to a more niche audience or one that grabs reader's attention and they might be willing to take a chance on your book is more likely to be seen and therefore more likely to sell taking risks may not always work but when they do the payoff is greater of course a risk is a risk and therefore the chance of failure is greater if you write something too obscure too nice too complicated it will be harder to find a publisher who's willing to take a chance on you or find an audience who resonates with your work however if you do the rewards are huge taking risks wins you respect by taking risks in your writing you often end up exposing yourself being vulnerable can be frightening but readers will appreciate the fact that you have done so this will make them empathize with you and respect you for your bravery at the end of the day no one can write a book that will appeal to everyone and trying to do so is a waste of time don't let all your time and effort go to waste and consider taking more risks with your writing be brave have confidence and stay true to yourself you won't regret it if you do if you enjoyed this video please give it a thumbs up or why not leave a comment below always happy to hear from you why not sign up for our newsletter and get your free writers toolkit simply visit our website at writers life.org see you next time -

Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello its Peter here came from a writer's life and today how to pick a genre to writing many writers don't consider the genre they are writing it until their book is written it's easy to believe that once you've finished writing your novel that it will become immediately obvious which category it falls into and when you are undertaking tasks such as submitting to editors or selecting the genres where your book should City Amazon that it will be easy to define your writing in such a way however only considering your genre after you have finished your story can lead to some problems there are perhaps some stories that are easier to define a classic romance thriller or horror story for example with many contemporary fiction books it can be a little more tricky and in fact you can find your story crosses the boundaries of many different genres a little bit of romance but mostly a thriller a ghost story with some comedy thrown in and so on the trouble with not being able to clearly define your genre is that you then cannot clearly define your audience one of the most important things you should be able to do and submitting your novel to publishers and agents or when marketing it yourself is to be able to define who your audience is to be able to prove that there is a market for your book out there that there are readers ready and waiting to devour it if you are vague about your genre agents of publishers will have a harder time being convinced they can sell your book where will it sit in a bookstore will readers be annoyed if they pitch it as a romance novel when actually perhaps it is more of a fantasy book it's the same when you come to choose where to place your book if self-publishing on sites such as Amazon if readers disagree with your choice then you could end up with negative reviews readers do not like to be mislead after all so how do you choose a genre to write it first of all right with an audience in mind you should always consider your reader when you write before you start why not try to identify who your target audience is sketch out an idea of what they like get to know them what motivates and inspires them what makes them tick what you understand your reader you'll have a better idea of the types of books they read and therefore the genre you should place your book into next read many genres and see what resonates writing in a genre you love to read will make your life so much easier if you love romance novels but try to write a hard-boiled detective story you might find yourself in trouble so read lots and lots of different books and then shape your story to fit which genre you like best and next go to a bookstore look at the books in each section where do you see yours going if you have already written your novel or have your story already mapped out in your head go to a book store to try and help clarify which genre it fits into look at books by other authors and see which ones have similar things to yours this is also a great way of getting inspiration for your book synopsis and cover to our next step is to create a marketing plan if you pick a genre that is really obscure you might find it difficult to know how to market your book saying that a niche genre could help you really focus on specific readers creating a marketing plan could help sway you one or another as you decide what is best for your book at the end of the day when it comes to picking of genre to write it sometimes it's simply a good idea to go with your gut instinct if you are talking between two you could even make a pros and cons list to help you choose whatever you do make sure you have a clear idea of a genre you are writing it ideally before you start to write if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up or why not leave a comment below we're always happy to hear from you and don't forget for more writing hints and tips please visit our website at writer's life.org where you can subscribe to our newsletter the best source for insider tips news and freebies. -

Hello its Peter here a game from writers life and today can you really be a part-time writer when it comes to writing we all hear those stories of famous writers you know the ones who are ate slept and breathed writing those who would guess over three am shaking with passion and a fierce unstoppable desire to write all their thoughts down those who couldn't think of anything other than writing who would spend their days holed up in their study perhaps a quirky just filled share the bottom of their garden and not see daylight or eat for days on end because their work was so consumed well that might be all well and good but for most of us the idea of being a full-time writer is a bit of a luxury we all know how hard it is to get published so how much time can we realistically spend on our writing while still making sure we have a roof over our heads also it's okay not to want writing to be the only thing you do with your life writers seem to carry immense amounts of guilt around with them they beat themselves up for not doing enough for not being good enough in fact often we are so down on ourselves and put so much pressure on ourselves it's a wonder we find any joy in writing at all sure being a good writer requires dedication and commitment and discipline there's no doubt about it but one can be a part-time writer and still progress still see targets and still achieve our writing dreams when did being a writer mean one has to be bleary-eyed neglects our friends and families and live on crusts of bread and water for weeks on end it's like we have to be ashamed if we are practically killing ourselves to achieve our writing goal there's a myth that unless we are waking up in the middle of the night and slowly becoming reclusive in order to write that we can't possibly be passionate enough about it or dedicated enough for it to be a success writers need to give themselves a break at the end of the day while it's important to work hard for what you want in life it's also important to enjoy the process so if writing part-time works for you and allows you to write at your leisure while also enjoy everything else that life has to offer that's fine in fact achieving a balance between your writing life and your actual life is healthy and something which should be encouraged we don't need to have a sob story we don't need to cripple ourselves and end up a stressed-out exhausted shell of a person to follow our dreams that's not to say that being a full time writer couldn't be brilliant but it needs to be because that's the right move not born out of some sort of guilt ridden weird idea that you're not a real writer unless you dedicate every inch of your being to it it's essential for writers to stop and ask ourselves is this working for me am i enjoying this writers don't have to be tortured sleep-deprived soars it's okay and possible to be a part-time writer and still be successful it's just that it may tell you a little longer to get there that's all and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers tool can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused fine times are right and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's right as writerslife.org forward slash toolkit that's it for now be sure to give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel for more I'm Peter and I'll see you next time. -

Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello there it's Peter here again from writers life coming up today how to write multiple points of view writing a book with multiple points of view is one of the most challenging ways to tell a story and requires doodling and bouncing various personalities points of view and motivations as well as the ability to pull these together to create a narrative that not only makes sense but is compelling and read worthy - however done right and using multiple points of view can provide added layers of insight and intrigue to a story they can be a smart and insightful way to widen the readers perspective and allow them to get to know multiple characters in more depth before you get started it's essential to make sure that telling your story from multiple points of view is the right decision list the reasons why your story will benefit from using this narrative device and be clear on why this will enhance your story for example by giving your reader a broader insight into the into the world you are creating or allowing different secrets to come out through the different perspectives giving the reader information that other characters in the story do not have once you have decided to go ahead and use multiple points of view here are some useful tips to ensure you make this as effective as possible first be clear and distinct when switching point of view there's nothing worse than confusing your reader and the danger of doing so is far greater when using multiple points of view be very clear when you are switching from the perspective of one character to another only changing when beginning a new chapter is usually a more natural way to keep switches defined and easy to follow next have distinct characters and voices if you're using multiple points of view make sure that they are all distinctive and exciting enough to stand alone in your story each character should have a unique voice and personality that feels utterly separate from the others and next make everyone as important as each other each point of view needs to come from a character that's the hero of their own story give equal importance to each character and make sure that they all have their journeys struggles conflicts and obstacles to overcome which make the reader interested in them and want to hear more from their own point of view next don't repeat the same scenes over and over telling the same scene from each character's point of view runs the risk of boring your reader and not allowing the story to move forward of course there are times when it is essential to reveal the same scene from a different characters perspective but unless truly necessary to the plot try to avoid this next plan plot and have a good strategy there needs to be a reason you are using a particular character to reveal a specific scene ask yourself why that character works best to tell that part of the story what insight they bring and make sure that they are the best man all best woman for the job planning how the points of view will come together and which character to use to tell which bit of the story will make sure things don't get confused and that there are no inconsistencies in your story either writing from multiple points of view is tough but done right can be incredibly smart and a useful device to intrigue your reader to bring different levels to your story and to give the reader a whole cast of characters to fall in love with if you're thinking of using multiple points of view to tell a story remember to keep your reader in mind and use these tips to help ensure you're doing well and don't forget if you're struggling to write off an issue but our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get organized stay focused find time to write and finally get your book published to get access now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to give us a thumbs up like this video if you will and I'll see you again next time bye for now. -

Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hello there and welcome along to a writer's life with more tips and advice my name's Peter and coming up this time key seems to include in your novel writing a novel in essence is about creating lots of different scenes that link together to tell a story if you break any good story down you'll start to notice that there are patterns almost all of them include the same key scenes albeit told in very different ways to structure their story and to allow the plot to unfold naturally but with moments of tension and excitement to plotting your novel is all about trying to figure out how to tell your story and what should happen when understanding the key sees to include can make this easier start by listing as many scenes you can come up with and write them each on different cards then you can shuffle them about to try and find order and from there create your outline there are some more obvious scenes that most writers will know about starting your novel with an enticing incident for example is widely known as a good way to kickstart your story making sure that your protagonist goes on a journey is pursuing your goal and has obstacles to overcome are also key to your story success however there are many more important scenes that you need to consider to help create the frame for your story structure let's take a look at them first the set up at the very beginning of your story you need to introduce readers to your main character or characters you should also reveal the setting the world which they inhabit and allow them to get a sense of the time and place before you hit them with the enticing incident next the initial turning-point this is where something happens that changes the character and starts them out on their journey whatever happens has to be enough to change the character's ideas desires or motivations and see them start to move in a new direction and next the opposition you need to begin to introduce the characters or obstacles that your character must face to reach their goal this is also an excellent time to raise the stakes and ensure that the reader knows what the protagonist has got to lose should they fail next the change something new needs to happen that helps the protagonist get back on track and focus again on their goal this can be a compelling twist such as an enemy becoming a friend or vice versa or the discovery of new information that changes the course of the story or creates a huge obstacle the protagonists must figure out how to deal with this next no turning back there should be a seed around halfway through the novel where something happens and now there is no way life can ever be the same for the protagonist nor can they decide to go back to normal this scene should propel the story forward and catalyze a series of fast paced events that you need for your conclusion next another twist towards the end of your novel you can include a second twist when it looks like the end goal might be inside something unexpected can happen that is of great importance to your characters and next the major setback when things finally seem to be going well and it looks as though everything is going to be ok include major setback which causes catastrophe and spells despair for your main characters and next the climax the climax is a high-energy scene where either the end goal is achieved or it isn't this should be a huge event where the protagonist comes face to face with whatever obstacle is greatest and next the wrap-up the aftermath of your climax should tie all your ends together and draw the story to a satisfying ending make this short and sweet and don't leave your readers hanging on these key scenes that make up a novel will help writers to understand the protagonists journey and give the story structure use them to create your story outline and then get writing and don't forget if you're struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination stay focused get organized find time to write and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to give us a thumbs up if you liked this video and as always subscribe to our channel for more I'm Peter I'll be back with more tips and advice for writers here on writers life soon bye for now -

Grab your free writer's toolkit by going to http://www.writerslife.org/finish-your-book ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hello there is Peter here again some more tips and advice for writers from writers life and today what are the differences between good writers and bad writers because writing is so subjective being able to say what makes good writing good and consequently what makes bad writing bad is difficult okay so there are obvious mistakes that writers can make poor grammar spelling repetitive descriptions and so on but what one reader might find monotonous and uninspiring might be right of another readers alley many famous and successful books have opinions divided the Twilight Saga Fifty Shades of Grey even more serious words such as Life of Pi have all had their share of critics despite being bestsellers and having had movies made out of them lots of now highly celebrated novelists have also revealed how many times they were rejected before a publisher gave them a chance does that mean that some of the editors they sent their novels to thought that their writing was bad possibly probably however there is one huge difference between good writers and bad writers and that's that good writers never gave up you wouldn't know about them if they did writing is a craft it can be learned every writer that starts out will not be as good a writer as they will be if they keep doing it for 20 years and applying themselves to the practice of writing and be open to learning and experimenting and refining their art and taking advice and criticism good writers didn't give all halfway through their first draft because they thought he was terrible good writers didn't throw their manuscripts in the bin before they'd even bothered to send it off to anyone for a second opinion good writers didn't stop writing because they received a rejection or a third fourth rejection if you are willing to put the effort in to take criticism and rejection on the chin and think of it as an opportunity to go back to the drawing board and get even better then you will you'll keep improving and it'll become a good writer because you are committed to the craft and will keep progressing and doing whatever it takes to get you there let's be clear about this this doesn't mean you can just write once a month or whenever the inspiration takes you it's about creating the schedule deciding on your writing goals and working tirelessly to achieve them bad writers don't do this they are either too fearful or too precious about their writing to try and edit it properly to truly make it better they talk about writing as if that's all they want to do yet can't seem to find the time to ever sit down and get anything done they are full of excuses and they are afraid of failure so they don't even try making the time to write takes effort going through the editing process properly can be tedious and grueling putting your work out there for the world to see can be genuinely terrifying but if you want to be a good writer you need to persevere you need to have discipline and humility and you need to be able to take a knock or two so do you have what it takes to be a good writer and don't forget if you struggling to write or finish your book our free writers toolkit can help with it you'll learn how to overcome procrastination get focused stay organized find time to write and finally get your book published to get access to it now while it's still available simply go to http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit that's it for now be sure to give us a thumbs up if you liked this video and also don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more I'm Peter and I'll be back with some more tips and that bye the writers here on writers life soon -
