Thanks Dien,
Actually Steven King and James Patterson have much in common. In Steven Kings Excellent book, "On Writing" he gives very simplistic advice. "...Tell what you see - then get on with the story." James Patterson's video MasterClass Advice is much the same. SOUNDS VERY SIMPLE. BUT Here's Why They will NEVER AGREE. Steven King says his books s*ell because he Himself NEVER knows what will happen. (Which means he gets an idea - then Starts writing without knowing how the book will end. Or an outline.) WHILE... James Patterson Outlines the HECK out of each book. Then turns his outline over to a Professional Copywriter who used to work for him in his Ad Agency. Then edits and Works with Each MASTERMIND Writing Partner -- on Rewrites until he is satisfied. Although I was happy to hear that Patterson Personally Writes all of 2 or 3 books a year - all by himself. Thanks, Glenn |

One BIG difference, King doesn't share his advances and commissions with his ghost writing TEAM. All writers have their own methods, the in common thing is they WRITE. Writing fiction is a different art form, and writing non-fiction is less art and more science or even pseudo-science and/or pop culture and topical. Thank god there are still READERS...writers of the future are going to have a tougher time (or modify and tweak for future generations). Reading thousands of books on writing, is like panning for gold in the creek, you have to be able to recognize the resonant nugget from the fool's gold. GordonJ |

Thanks Gordon,
James Patterson says he goes back thru his book Outlines in order to SURPRISE his readers. That Triggered an idea. Why not Surprise and Thank And REWARD my newsletter Subscribers with something Really Valuable? So I did. Already p-aid off my MasterClass fee - over-night.
