The other day, I was in a
conversation and found myself emphasizing the importance of direction within
the parameters of writing. I couldn't help but expound on two important
components ......."Concept and Content", that are truly the meat
and potatoes of any body of written material. As Writer's, the very
first thing we are all challenged within our creation is formulating an interesting
concept which usually doesn't come easy. I'm sure that this will pose an early
challenge at the beginning stages of writing your manuscript. As we
murmur to ourselves "What will I write about", rarely does
inspiration come from that question. I've come to realize that you can't gauge
where the inspiration will stem from so just expect it to come at any time. In
choosing the concept, I suggest that you be as candid, original and innovative—as
possible. After you've defined the concept, the next step is compiling content
that will be complimentary and parallel—if not, it will only destroy a great
concept. So that's my small bit I wanted to share with you on what will be the
meat and potatoes of your book. After all, you want a product that is
interesting, engaging and appealing to your reader..... Good Luck!
Just read this and I am sure these jewels will help any writer in their journey. Each one teach one.
