Hi! So, I'm trying to write my own book, and I was given the advice to only write two pages a day. So, is this effective? Do you have any more advice?
Jenn Bishop
I think trying to break the big challenge of writing a book into smaller steps and goals (like writing 2 pages a day) is a great idea. I always like to stop my writing sessions at a spot where I know what can happen next, so that when I start writing the next time, I am already eager to see what happens and know where I'm going. The truth is, though, for first drafts, all that matters is getting words down on the page. You can make everything better later, just get your ideas down. There is no correct way to write a first draft -- whatever works for you. :)

Hey! I have been wondering, why do you only give 5 star ratings? I know that it is impossible to absolutely love every single book you read, so if you don't like a book as much as the others then express you opinion! Four and three stars aren't bad. I know you can rate books whatever you feel fits it best and I'm not trying to change how you rate them, I am simply curious. (Sorry if that came off as rude.) :)

I love to write. And I mean I love to write. But I don't know what to write about. So how do you get an Idea to write about?
