About this title

From the Author

Everything you need to know about writing at home.
So you'd really like to be a writer? WRITE WHERE YOU LIVE will show you how. I've been doing just that for over 30 years (I started when I was four). And I wrote with five kids eight and under and not only lived to tell the tale, but I also got published during that time. My book will show you how to discipline yourself to write out of your home despite neighbors popping in, your wife reminding you to change lightbulbs, or your husband wandering in and out of your "office" to see what you're doing. It suggests areas for an office, tells you what supplies you really need, and gives tips on getting ideas, handling research, and selling the completed manuscript. Written in a friend-to-friend style, I'll talk you through writer's block, procrastination, fear, and lack of confidence. I believe in you and will show you how to believe in yourself and start writing. But what are you doing reading my comments? Get my book, read it and underline the points you want to remember. (No exam will follow.) Then sit down (or stand if you prefer) and write that first word. Then make a sentence. Now a paragraph. You see, you're on your way!
