Those who can, do. Those who can't, write.

Does reading books help writing skills? I'll add that you should also study the writing that you really enjoy, even though it may not necessarily be a work of literary genius. As everyone says, you should be writing stuff you enjoy reading. |

Dealing with personal trauma in writing So - what you're asking is: What methods do you use when you want to use personal trauma to enrich your writing? Is that it? |

Writing a Lullaby I hadn't thought of the specific word sounds - definitely something to keep in mind. And yes, I find "Rockabye baby" really creepy as well. I have no idea who on earth thought it would make a good song to sing to kids. |

Writing a Lullaby That's so sweet! Yeah, it's definitely more of the lyrics in this case, though I would want them to fit with the typical kind of tunes you use for lullabies. The idea of thinking of it as a poem definitely helps. |

What are some ways to get to know your characters? I found this reply not too long ago and finally tried it out over the weekend - it worked incredibly well, and was exactly what I needed to delve deeper into my characters' voices and motivations. Thanks! :) |

Write multiple trilogies or make a saga? Yep, Lauren got my point. A trilogy is a common structure, and you know when it will start and end. As for sagas, they do have a tendency to balloon out so a publisher would be naturally more wary of committing to one, especially if they don't know if the author can sustain it. |

Write multiple trilogies or make a saga? Or take a look at the Mistborn trilogy. The first book ends with the defeat of the Big Bad and a satisfactory ending for all involved, but there are many unanswered questions, and the Big Bad hints that there's something worse out there. |

Write multiple trilogies or make a saga? Haha, when people think of epic sagas, Malazan Book of the Fallen does tend to come to mind, doesn't it? ;) |
