Book Review: Night Freeze by Lee Emory | ArticlesBase.com

Friday, September 25th, 2009

This is a book that should come with a warning, something along the lines of:

This is your captain speaking, please make sure you have your seats in the upright position, your tray tables locked, and your seat belts firmly fastened.

Some authors like to bring the reader gently into the story, scene setting, maybe a little character background, not so Lee Emory, her method is to throw the reader at 500mph straight into the plot. For some people this might be a little traumatic, but it certainly is an attention getter. I have strong thoughts about book construction, if you don't have the reader hooked in the first 50 pages, a significant proportion will stop reading it and find something else. That is certainly not the case with Night Freeze, from the opening phrase you are hooked:

Need An Idea For An E-Book?

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Youve probably heard about e-books"theyre everywhere on the Internet, and it seems like everyone is writing them. Youve probably even thought about writing one yourself. But, what to write about? You need some e-book ideas.

First, e-books are electronic books that are downloaded and saved onto your computer. Some e-books must be purchased, and some are even free. You can read them directly from your computer, or print them out to read at any time. The intriguing thing about e-books is that you can cut out most all of the middle men (agents, publishers, wholesalers) and take care of all the work yourself (writing, editing, formatting, copywriting, and selling). E-books are a great idea for those of you who want to be more independent in your success. Plus, by using e-books, your success can come much quicker than with a traditional print book.

Now that thats cleared up, lets start thinking about some e-book ideas.

You may already know what you want to write about"great! But make sure its a topic that people are going to be interested in reading. Otherwise, dont expect big sales. Whether you know what you want to write about or you simply know you want to write, when thinking about good, profitable e-book ideas, check to see if your topic is one that is in demand. A couple of good tools for this in Online Gold Finder (http://inovatrek.lightsped.hop.clickbank.net) and NicheTopics (http://inovatrek.5millbucks.hop.clickbank.net).

When thinking about e-book ideas, remember to also consider your knowledge of the topics. The phrase write what you know applies to e-book ideas just as it applies to all writing. Write about something you know a good deal about and about something that people want to know a good deal about. See the connection? Also, do a little research as to how much information already exists on your topic. If you know a good deal about both the circus and underwater basket weaving, and find that there is a demand for information on both topics, look around to see which topic already has the most information out there. If there are a 100 e-books already in circulation about the circus, but only 8 about underwater basket weaving, consider underwater basket weaving as one of your e-book ideas. There is both an interest and a demand.

Brutal Honesty About the Freelance Writing Business

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Every now and again, I get emails or have people adding me on my Facebook account asking me if it was possible for them to become a freelance writer because:-
a. They're a mother who is looking for extra income
b. They're a fresh graduate and is looking for a job
c. They think they're bored with their current work and think they can string a couple of words together to make a living
d. They've just got laid off and is in the middle of a financial crisis

I would love to say that it's possible for ANYONE to make it as a freelance writer, no, seriously, SERIOUSLY, I would. But honestly, it's not true. I would be lying to you and at the end of the day, you're going to hunt me down and spew curses down my throat for misleading you.

Mark Twain on adjectives: Strike them out

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Author: Tom Aaron

Mark Twain warns us on using adjectives: “As to the adjective, when in doubt, strike it out.”

Clifton Fadiman warns us too: “The adjective is the banana peel of the parts of speech.”

Adjectives modify nouns. In the examples below, we see a tired boy sitting down:

The tired boy sat down.

The exhausted boy sat down.

The weary boy sat down.

The worn-out boy sat down.

The sleepy boy sat down.

The nodding boy sat down.

The drowsy boy sat down.

More than one adjective can modify a single noun as in the examples below:

The tired little boy sat down.

The exhausted young boy sat down.

The small weary boy sat down.
