Ready to become a great writer and maybe write that great novel?

by Gil Carlson on 01/28/12

Maybe I can help. Okay, I don't have any great novels out there selling millions of copies, yet, but I still may be able to help you.

Sure, there are lot's of articles, books, and blogs out there about how you can become a great author and quit your real job, then just sit around your pool drinking mint juleps, so why is my advice any better?

Here's why... Ever notice how when you start to read some of this writing advice, even from famous authors, you start to nod off? Yes, that's my #1 secret of great writing: Make everything you write exciting!

If they keep falling asleep reading your book, they'll never finish, and if they don't finish it they will never buy your next novel, and if they don't buy your next book how are you going to pay your mortgage?

Now just how do you make your book writing exciting? I thought you'd never ask! You'll find that scattered around this website of mine are a number of powerful writing secrets, secrets you just may not get from anyone else!

Please check out my article: How to write a book Novel ideas for creating your story line for ideas on exciting writing.

You just may discover that my approach to book writing is rather unusual. You see, I spent many years creating and running profitable direct response companies and learning how to get results from all my marketing efforts.

And learning to write copy for ads, brochures and websites that would get results. For without understanding how to get results from your writing, you may just be spinning your wheels.

What? Who just said: “Crazy Gil, I don't want to write direct response copy, I want to write the next Great American Novel!”

Excuse me but that's “Crazy, Like a Fox, Gil” to you! Even if you are just writing a novel or non-fiction book, learning the secrets of “selling with words” can make your writing stand out.

One of the secrets of selling is to keep your writing exciting. No matter how long the copy is, a good copywriter can make it exciting from start to finish.

A little earlier I mentioned that there is a lot of good advice on exciting writing in my article: How to write a book Novel ideas for creating your story line. What? You didn't go there yet? You didn't believe me, or did you just fall asleep?

If you are ready to learn some great writing skills that will set you apart from many of the other great writers, even Stephen King, base your writing on some of powerful selling techniques found in my copywriting articles.
