The hook, that says it all,
Grab 'em by the neck,
And hold them in thrall.
Forget about beginnings,
And taking your time.
Jump right on in,
With action sublime.
No time to wait, the author beware!
The readers will leave,
If there's writing to spare.
So tighten your plot lines,
Tighten your belts.
For the new look novels
Are sublimely svelte!
I enjoy writing and have visited many sites looking for
information/markets/tips and I decided to include some of them
here. There is so much talent out there that research is important,
and anything that improves your writing even a little is worth a
look. Most of the links will be relevant to all genres and I hope
that you will find something useful. There are links to
very comprehensive sites that have a wealth of information on just
about every aspect of writing.
As for the name of this page, it seemed appropriate as anyone
who has tried to get published will tell you! Don't loose heart
– try, try again!
More will be added to this site as I investigate, if you have or
know of a resource you think I should add, don't hesitate to contact
me. While you're in the mood for contact, why not join the Hopeful Writer Webring?
