Hello Ellen,I first noticed you on your YouTube channel.I enjoyed your good videos.I wonder,how does someone write a spy novel,similar to Arpeggio of Blue Steel? With what principles in mind does it efficiently? My case is I have ideas to write a novel,I want to try it. By the way,how does someone write a series of fiction books?
I would appreciate your reply.
Hi, I’m J. L. Rodriguez. I wrote a book called Sol, it’s a Sci-Fi novel. I self published and the book itself was nice: however, not the writing. The concepts are good but not the expression of them. Help!
Hi Ellen, learned so much from you on POV…. here’s a POV that has me stumped. I read and loved The Wife by Meg Wolitzer– at first it’s first person… narrator describes her life with her husband, but then also her husband’s childhood in detail [“Joe sat down at the kitchen table and ate his afternoon snack of yellow sponge cake in the moony stupified way children have, a constellation of crumbs on his lips and chin”], and others [“No one on this plane was fixated on death, like we’d all been earlier…”] and it doesn’t end there. Is this a POV taking liberties or is this an established type of narrator/POV? Perhaps a video if you can’t answer here. Thank you!
Hello Ellen,
I have watched you for some years now and I am happy to congratulate you
in what I see as a success – you are deserving for your hard work and relentless
effort – and your willingness to give something free is in part what makes you
a success story in itself….,
This question and my comment herein will be longer than I prefer – but – I am not
good at keeping it short – sometimes – forgive me I am trying to do my best.
My question is – how are you going to overcome the hurdle about editing – everyone
is going to want “you” and not want to have someone else as a go-between or
people doing a short note that you run with – that said – what can you say to overcome
or convince me that – that will work..,
I want the full package whatever that is and you in person or live in some form.
I will know the difference between you and someone else…,
Your Great!
