I happened to see this on goodreads & I love writing. I have fan fiction stories online & I thought this would be a great book to read to help improve. I entered and won Ronda's book and I loved it.

This book gave great tips on how to write not just small stories, but books that can go on to be popular series like Twilight, & others like Jan Eyre.

Ronda hit on some really good points. One being don't delete your work if you don't like it. Put it in another area to keep just in case you need to add it back later.

Another great tip was not to info-dump about a character all at once. Leave them wondering and slowly release information about the character.

These are just two of the 101 plus bonus tips she gives. This is a must read for aspiring author or even I think a simple paper because it helps you learn and how to correct some things that you might do.

An excellent book and I'm glad that I got a chance to read this thanks to goodreads and their giveaways. I love writing and this book gave me some ideas for sure.

This little gem is aptly named and covered. I got it, read it, and virtually keep it with me in a pocket wherever I go. Why? I can turn to anywhere within it and find my mind and/or emotions stimulated. It has value to people who want to simply think about fiction, those who aspire to write, but mostly to those who do write, and to those who have written and now plan to do more. Very good job.

I received this book from a Goodreads Promotional contest. This is a small but handy book for aspiring writers to have. I am always writing material for work and I wish I had it when I was just starting out. Some of the material, the book covers, it pretty standard but still it is good as a reminder.

This is a quick read with sections that deal with Setting, Characterization, and Marketing to name a few. Each page has a quick or basic tip to help an aspiring or new author. Some were very basic, common-sense things, but others relied on the author's experience and were quite helpful. It's a nice little reference guide for those who are just getting started in the business and need guidance.

Ahhh, the perfect pocket guide for a quick reference while writing your fiction story. I've had it for several weeks now and have used it several times.
GLAD I won this book from Goodreads.com. The perfect book to keep at my side while writing.
