The question was, "How do you write fiction?" Let me clarify that. I get the question, "How do you write?" a lot, but I've never had the question, "How do you write fiction?" Her contention was that writing non-fiction is easy; it just requires a bit of research and putting it together in a way that's easy for the reader to take in. But she didn't know how to go about writing fiction.

I'm sure at least some of you have guessed that you need to hop over to Indie Writers Monthly to find out where "The Road to Fiction" leads.
Such a tease. Clicking the link! :)

ReplyDeleteDavid: I know; I'm so bad!
ReplyDeleteCrystal: I hope so!
Actually, I think good non-fiction writers - the ones who are able to engage with general interest readers - take a lot of their cues from fiction.
ReplyDeleteTAS: Yeah, for certain types of non-fiction, it's essential.
