A Note from author and journalist Regina Brett:
|
1. |
Writers need deadlines. I put a sticky note on every day of my calendar reminding me to write. If I didn’t write that day, the note got moved to the next day and the chapters started piling up. |
|
2. |
People love the personal. We’re all the same on the inside. |
|
3. |
Cut out the boring parts. Distill every story down to its essence. |
|
4. |
Take a risk. What would you write if you had six months to live? Say it. |
|
5. |
Pick the best way to tell a story and leave out all the other ways. |
There are so many ways to tell a story. That’s why it’s great to check out what’s new on the nonfiction bookshelf from Hachette authors.
