If you joined us here at Writing A Great Book, then you want to become a writer.
20 years ago my husband, John began writing a science fiction series, called The Light Masters. You need to understand, John is a pants-er (he simply sits down and writes).
On the other hand, I need writing formulas, lists, and cheat sheets. I plan, organize, and plot. Fiction writing is hard for me. If it is hard for you, too, we have a solution.
I Can Help You Become a Better Writer.
When John wanted to create a Villain, I studied bad guys and created a writing formula to help John improve. You can find that formula at Formula for Creating Unforgettable Villains, and antagonists. You can find that formula at: Formula for Creating Unforgettable Villains.
When John’s dialogue didn’t sound right, I created lists of alternate words for ask. Check out Ask, 78 Words to use Instead (Create Killer Speech Tags). I also created a list of words to replace said. I discovered that many writers use words to replace words that should never be used. Check that out at 50 Words to Never use to Replace said Plus 240 Words to Use
So, you see I am more of a researcher than a fiction writer. At some point, I realized I did all this research. I created all of these writing formulas and lists. Maybe other writers want to use them.
I created this website to share with you this knowledge. It is effeminately more head knowledge than gut knowledge. It will be up to you to translate it into your writing. To write your own great book.
If you are the kind of person who tosses out the rule book and starts writing, I envy you. However, there will be a better website for you. Check out our articles on editing: 6 Tricks to Become a Power Writer.
Luckily, I have your back if you are a writer who likes formulas. I also support those who prefer lists and cheat sheets. That is what I do. You might notice I like quotes. I hope you enjoy them as a bonus.

I find joy in helping authors chase their dreams. Just like John chased his. Unfortunately he has dementia now. So, his race is over. But for most of you it’s just beginning. I would like to be part of your dream coming true.
