I Am halfway thru this video course by James Patterson.
#1 Most books sold - 350 mil and counting.
I Highly Recommend it.

WARNING -
Mr Pattersons 22 Video Lessons are intimate and conversational.
But really packed with good advice.
Like reading Sun Tzu "Art of War"
or "The Book of 5 Rings"
IF you take action and Start Writing - using his advice.
You find What he says CHANGING based on what you do to TAKE ACTION. Which
is why I found myself watching the same video over again.
Kinda Weird.
Patterson drops STARTLING -- Behind the scenes -- TIDBITS too.
Like -
***70% of all Pattersons Readers are women.

The 70% I believe are newer numbers as he's added more female collaborators to his group. I like that he admits he doesn't enjoy writing the sentences, but is more of a broad stroke outline type writer.
Art of War has several new TODAY strategies, like the Higher Ground approach.
I don't read much fiction these days, I could never read S. KING although my ex read it at bedtime every night. When she was reading Cujo, I used to growl in the middle of the night...got a cuddle one way or the other. HA
I mention King because he has been a vocal critic of Patterson and doesn't think much of him as a writer...but I'm sure we can all learn from
Patterson's methods.
Similar to sculptors, who had their co-workers carve out the stone, and they (Big Name) put the finishing touches on it, and got the bigger bux too.
Good stuff Glen, thanks.
