Writing a Novel 3rd Lesson

Have you started you novel? No? Have you at least started writing a poem or a short story?

If the answer is still no, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG! Write instead!

If the answer is yes, please continue...

If you are a beginner writer go to your local library. Do not buy books on writing, borrow them! Read writer's digest books and magazines. If you plan on writing magazine articles then you will probably want to purchase the ones you are interested in submitting to, but if you are merely using the magazines for learning purposes, save your money.

Have a desperate need to own writing resource books? Pick up used writing books. The information may be somewhat dated, but you can look for the updated material on-line, and again save money!
