[Excerpt] “You’re Doing It Wrong” by K. Mark Hoover @Apex Book Company:

But what about writing? Writing is a profession, too. All the great authors who sell books through Apex can tell you that much. So, what are the protocols for that? How does one go about writing, and doing it correctly?

Well, I’m glad you asked because it’s high time we codify a few rules for writing. First, there’s, um….there’s….Huh. Well, naturally, first you have to….Uh. Mm. Whuh?

That’s right. There are no protocols for writing, I’m sorry to say. There is no Right Way to Write. One of the questions I get from new writers is “How do I do this?” I tell them, “You write.” They look at me as if I have frogs coming out of my ears. They want a Golden Path. Funny, I’ve been writing professionally for over ten years and I too, still want a Golden Path.

Except there isn’t one. There never was one.

Interested?  You should be, whether you’re a struggling newbie or on your way to becoming a veteran. This article has VALUABLE INFO! READ ME! written all over it.

So go on. Head on over so that author K. Mark Hoover can help you not do it rong wrong. You can read his article in its entirety on the ABC site HERE…
