Hi Gang!
Welcome to Fiction FUN(damentals). Learning the craft of writing can be tedious at times, and often the rules ruin the playtime. Remember kindergarten? All that coloring and story time? The Play Dough? Those shoebox-sized cardboard bricks we’d make houses out of and the boys would come along and kick them down? Ah, what kinder, gentler time. But, we had rules. Don’t color on your neighbor’s paper. Be quiet during story time. Don’t stick the Play Dough up nose—or up anyone else’s nose. Don’t beat up the boys after they kick down your house.
Writing is playtime for me. I’m sure it’s the same for you. But if we want to graduate to First Grade, we’ve got to play by the rules. It’s my desire to make those rules FUN for you.
Here’s my disclaimer: I’m not a teacher and I’m still new to this writing-for-a-career thing myself. So use this as a jumping-off place. And one more rule: DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN!
