Manuscript

Have you ever had an idea in your head and think that it would make a perfect book. Well so have I. Have you ever started to write and just stopped all of a sudden. Well so have I. Have you wanted to be famous for as long as you can remember. Well so have I. All these things add up to make you want to achieve. On a special USB drive I have twenty one manuscripts with books in them. Now these book pages can vary from 10 pages to 152 pages. All of them have never been completed. If you are asking your self why don't I just delete them. Well think of it this way. You have a seed. You plant it. It will either become a little shrub that now cares about or a big apple tree that will last for ever. Ok that was a bad metaphor but I think you see my point. Right now I am writing a kids novel for 7-10 year olds. Now I am on page 26 my goal is 80-90 pages. If I complete this goal and if I like my creation I will keep it and with enough help and love it may become an old apple tree.
The Moral of this stupid post is if you have an idea just start tapping on the keyboard and who knows what may come up it may be the next Harry Potter or the next Twilight. No one knows but it is worth a shot.....

The First Line

Being an author is enjoyable. The most important part of writing is the first line. That first line makes or breaks a piece. It can tease the reader into continuing or even persuade them into buying the book. Even in this blog post the first sentence is "Being an author is enjoyable" this line probably has nothing to do with this post. Even in a book the first sentence most of the time has nothing to do with the story line. Unless the first line in your  book is " I won the lotto today" and the plot of the book is about you winning the lottery. The first line in a book is just as important as it's cover. Even though the old saying goes "Never judge a book on its cover". When was the last time you actually read about the book before looking at the cover. The cover is the first thing you see on a book it is what grabs your attention. The use of the first line is just as important because when you actually read a book you never skip the first sentence. If you ever have then you are just dumb.
