WRITING FOR A LIVING

Many people love reading fiction stories, likewise many also love writing them. Whichever group you belong to is okay. But, if you are in the group of those who like to write for a living then you fall into the category of a commercial writer. If you want to go commercial then you have to read up and get yourself well prepared for the new career you are getting yourself into. Because, you have to be well trained in the branch of commercial fiction you are about to go into. You have to spend some money to get good books to see you through and then as you are reading and seeing all the aspects of fiction writing that you need to cover, you'll realize it had been worth the time and money spent. It doesn't have to be a large sum of money, It can be just a few Dollars to buy digital downloads or books on how to write good fiction stories to educate and guide you. Mind you if you get them from the link below you will be letting me in to earning some commission but my friends you'll be by far better off than before you started reading the books. Amazon bookstores will take you to many book titles on the techniques of writing novels of different types.

JUICE YOUR SETTING

You have now known the type of setting you want to use for your story, hmm that's good. What next? Juicing your story. Place and balance your story in the setting you have chosen in such a way that it will be interesting and captivating to your readers. If you make a choice of a setting that has the feel of something repulsive about it, then you'll definitely scare off your readers, know what I mean? You can now star building your story but mind you, make the scenes and environment catchy and impacting. A world that will remain green in the minds of your fans.

WHY CREATE YOUR OWN SETTING

   When it comes to writing fiction stories, I think creating your own story setting is very important because with your setting in your hands, you have all the tools, that is your own imagination to carve your story setting the way you want it to look like.
   Choosing a ready made setting like the ones written in my previous post is good but you have to dance to the tune of the creators of those settings, thereby limiting your drive.
   Take your time, think very well and sharpen your imagination and then bring out the best you can when carving out your story setting.
   In my own case each time I pick up my pen to write a story, I like creating my own setting to my taste and always come out with wonderful works.
   My agent and other publishers have told me that, which you can see when you read my fiction novels of which one is in the bookstores.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD SETTING

   Choosing a good setting when writing a fiction story is very very important and for sure writing your interesting theme without a befitting setting is like building a wonderful mansion with no site for it to be placed.
   So, you have to sit down and give your story a deep and good thought of a setting that will actually match it for it to be more realistic.
