High Concept

Ever hear of the phrase High Concept? It is the 25 word pitch that you pitch to your editor or agent. I have been hearing this phrase alot and so I thought it must be important.

Lori Wilde has written a workbook Got High Concept? I ordered it and came up with my 25 word pitch. I would reccommend this to anyone. Has good info and makes you think. Her website is www.loriwilde.com

I also read Scott Eagan's Blog, he is an agent and RWA pproved. He talks about High Concept a lot, So you might want to think about this while you are writing your book, or you will have to rewrite the book if you figure out a better angle.....

His blog site is: www.scotteagan.blogspot.com

So think about your high concept and print it out where you can see it. It will keep you focused and on track

Write No Matter What

I woke up and felt like a truck hit me.  I still turned my computer on and started writing.  That is the only way the story is going to get written.  Do I feel like writing?  Nope.  Do if feel like Blogging?  Nope.  I write cause that is what I do.  So I poured me a soda and let the caffine take its effect.  I have to get ready for work in a bit, I blooged, I wrote a bit, so I am still going in the write direction. I write no matter what.  whether I feel like  it or not. Have a great day. http://sharonleejohnson.com/

Work Ethic

What is your work ethic????  It might get that book written sooner. I admit that televison is my distraction from writing.  I can not write in the living room, where the telvision is staring at me.  I know it talks to me.  Maybe your distraction is something dirrerent.  The dishes calling you to wash them or those dust bunnies talkling to you.  Whatever it is we need to stop listening to them. I always plan on writing more than I do.  I came home from work yesterday, and had plans to write, then I ate and started flipping channels and then the time slipped by and I didn't write anything.  I think it all come down to one's work ethic.  Some have one and some don't. I think I am one of them that does not have a strong work ethic.  The fact that I want my book finished, is what motivates me.  I want to be a writer, so I write. http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/
