Help Me Write

I love to read. I read so much that I write about the books I read. Today I am completing an article for a local magazine. The article is titled the 5 Best God Reads for the Summer. I will post a snippet of it here once the mag goes to print.

But what I really love, really love is to tell a good story. Problem is my time is mostly spent reading books, editing books, family time and prayer time. Tomorrow I add exercise time. There is hardly any time to write. This is a problem. And so I do what I usually do when I need help. I read a book.

This Year You Write Your Novel by Walter Mosley

An excerpt...

Don't let any feeling keep you from writing. Don't let the world slow you down. Your story is the most important thing coming down the line this year. It's your year--make the most of it.

Thank God for this book. :) Let me tell you. While reading this book I discovered my writing has been pretty good. I have a daily routine. I put the work in. I have many first drafts of different novels. What I didn't have was the confidence that I was on the right track. What I didn't have was the know-how on how to take my stories and to take them to their next step. I am excited, y'all. I read a book that will help me write. :)

You can read an excerpt here and a different here or just get the book.

Quick Question: Do you need any writing help?

Reminder: What would you recommend for the best summer read this year?
