Everyone has plans to write the great American novel. In fact, most researchers believe that everyone has at least one great story inside them. However, you may be wondering, then if everyone has a great story, how can they get the story out?

Every good fiction editor knows that their job is based on how well the author that they are editing knows the fundamentals of good writing. That's not to say that every client you accept as a book editor should have the skills on par with a professional writer, but there are some fundamentals to good writing that should be constant throughout.

It's important to remember that the shortcomings that we face as either the writer or fiction editor come to us from all the way back in grammar school and no matter how hard most of us try to overcome these things, they still persist and crop up years later.

If you're an amateur writer, whether it be poetry, short stories, novels or essays, there's nothing like seeing your work in print or on the Internet to excite you and encourage you to continue your work.

Object writing is the writers' set of bar bells to get us in the zone, and keep us primed for when one of those muse moments comes along.After recently doing some songwriting classes with Berklee music professor Pat Pattison I have become a great fan of object writing.

Writing a book may seem like an overwhelming task but it can be quite easy once you take the pressure off of yourself. This book does not have to be written a day or a week. There is no pressure other than what you put on yourself. And there is no sense of failure other than what you allow. Let me explain.
