This morning (Sunday) I was supposed to work on my new book – the one I intend to complete for a December release. Instead, I snuggled down in my warm bed and finished an e-book called The Santa Shop (The Santa Conspiracy) by Tim Greaton.
So, on this chilly Sunday morning, I want to thank Tim Greaton for reminding me of the very simple lessons to creating a good book:
1) Have a story, not an idea.
2) Know your character, not just his or her name.
3) Write as if you are pointing the way not giving directions.
4) Stop when the story is told.
Thanks, Tim, for the gift of The Santa Shop.
