How To Write A Good Book

Craig Said:

Poets - What's a good book on how to write poems for a beginner?

We Answered:

One that I go back to is "The Poetry Home Repair Manual" by Ted Kooser, a Poet Laureate of the United States. His tag line on the book: "Practical advice for beginning poets." Excellent book.

How to write a good book review about A Christmas Secret by Anne Perry?

We Answered:

Step 1: Read the book. Of course, you already knew that, but I figured I should say it anyway.

Step 2: Right after you finish, write down your favorite parts and your least favorite parts.

Step 3: Organize your review something like this:
Paragraph 1- overall summary of the book. Just write what happens, what's important for someone to know who hasn't read it.
Paragraph 2- the parts that struck you (that is, your favorite parts) and why.
Paragraph 3- your least favorite parts, why you think the author put those parts in the story (as in, did they want to make the reader sad? Did they want to demonstrate a lesson or theme? etc.), and what you think they should have changed.

That's an idea. Mess with it as you will. Good luck!

How do i get a good idea to write a book?

We Answered:

I'd suggest that you read a lot. Perhaps you will get an idea from that source. Another possibility would be to brainstorm for ideas. Sit down and let your mind wander. Then start trying to think of ideas or even images. Don't edit. Just write them all down. Later, take a look at the list and perhaps you can combine a couple of the ideas or images, and start writing about them. Oh yes, write everyday, even if you have nothing to write about. You have to get into the habit of writing.

How to write a good book?

We Answered:

Make it interesting. Capture the reader's attention in like the first paragraph, or chapter so they keep on reading until the end of the book. And have some plot twists in your story so the reader will never know what's coming in the end. In my opinion, it's good not to have a predictable ending because that just ruins it.

Discuss It!
