A Novel Approach

Submitted by Jack London on January 3, 2012 - 15:52

Hi.  I'm Jack London.  MWSA asked me to contribute a weekly note about writing, a column I call A Novel Approach.


It isn't just for novelists.  A Novel Approach is for all writers and is designed to help us jump start or get past  some of the nagging problems that cause us to put elbows on table, chin in hands, and gaze out the window.   We cover such things as writing in the active voice, analyzing sentence and paragraph structure, story arc, and the like.


A Novel Approach is not a work of my genius.  It comes from lessons I have been taught and a few I have learned, contributions from others (and if I think I might get caught, I give credit where due), and comments from other authors and, hopefully, feedback from you.


I'll publish it either every week or whenever I get one written and post it here, on Facebook and Twitter, and on my site, Jack Woodville London Books http://jwlbooks.com/ .


So, look for it, follow it, contribute, and enjoy being a part of the literary community.


Jack
