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
