The Place For My Writers Notes

Original posting 30 November 2007

Ha, ha, ho, ho, a meme indeed.

Over here at
http://jamesmaxey.blogspot.com/2007/11/five-things-ive-learned-about-writing.html James Maxey ponders the question of five things he's learned about writing.

And in a show of comradery, he's asked some friends to write up the same notion. One, Andy Remic, has posted his five points already over at http://andyremic.blogspot.com/2007/11/5-things-ive-learned-about-writing.html

Another, Lisa Shearin (with a new book at http://www.lisashearin.com/ ) seems to be doing it in five parts. Part one is up at http://www.lisashearin.com/2007/11/5-things-ive-learned-about-writing-part.html

It strikes me that this is an interesting exercise. Imagine, if you will, that you have been asked to formulate what you have learned about writing in five easy pieces (wasn't that a movie?). Or five steps to the novel? Or five somethings, leastwise.

Let me think - and you do the same, then we can compare notes!

write?
tink
(Let's see, five? That's one hand worth, eh? So the sound of one hand clapping?)
