If I write a note to tell you, "This is Janes dog," you'll likely know I mean to let you know the dog belongs to Jane. If I write instead, "Jane's friend's are writer's," and you know anything about the punctuation of English, you will be in some confusion as to what belongs to whom. In general, the apostrophe means one of two things. There is a missing letter where it is. For example, in "don't" there is a missing "o"; in "it's" there is a missing "i": each of these is a one-word contraction commonly used to represent two wor Read More Go to Site Creative Writing Exercises Votes:0 Creative Writing Exercises [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Writers' Message Board ] [ FAQ ] Posted by Jan Risher on May 12, 1997 at 00:31:08: This summer I'll be teaching the second session of a Creative Writing Series for Senior Citizens.

How do you produce an ending to your masterpiece that will make your story linger in the minds of your readers' long after they close the book? It's not easy. But nothing worthwhile ever is. Sometimes you find your way through trial and error. Sometimes you find it immediately. And sometimes the perfect finish comes to you out of the blue when you're not even looking for it. Now that we've learned how to start a book and how to get through the middle, it's time to search out our ending.

Assuming you use the standard conventions for manuscript format (1" margins, 25 double-spaced lines per page, and a 12 point non-proportional font like Courier), then a good rule of thumb is one page equals 250 words. For the math-impaired, that means you multiply the number of manuscript pages times 250 to get your word count. To make it even easier, here's a chart: 200 pages = 50,000 words 360 pages = 90,000 240 pages = 60,000 400 pages = 100,000 280 pages = 70,000 440 pages = 110,000 320 pages = 80,000 480 pages = 120,00 Now, I know your word processor will give you the exact word count, but that's not what the publisher is looking for.

The book that is supposedly inside all of us is trying to get out? You've written your memoirs and no-one will publish them? You've written a local history book, or something with a small circulation and readership, and no-one is interested in publishing it? You answered one of those adverts that offers to publish your book, but they want too much money? Yep, it's all typical. For many people the need to be published or to have a tangible printed result outweighs any considerations of profit and glory. This is just as well, because publishing yourself is not the path to instant riches. The best that you can hope for is small sales, a warm glow and the feeling that you climbed Everest without oxygen, carrying the Sherpas.

If your language is free of bias, it should offend no one; ideally, no one should even notice that you have made an effort to reduce sexually biased words and phrases." [ 1 ] Achieving unbiased language so that readers will concentrate on what you have to say rather than how you say it is an admirable goal. It's also, I might add, a necessity. For example, businesses and individuals have been sued because job descriptions used "he" and seemed to exclude women -- whether or not the exclusion was intended. Therefore, gender free language is a requirement of the workplace and the university.

A novel is a sudden window opened to let us watch an arc of action from its initial to its closing phase. If you open the window too early, your readers have to drum their mental fingers waiting for the action to start. Open the window too late, and you'll find yourself desperately filling in with flashbacks and infodumps. How do you know what action is the initial action? What is your story about?

If I'd had any idea how much work it was when I started writing twenty years ago, I would have thrown the typewriter out the window before I got so deeply into this. I have broken it down into eight different catagories (in order of priority): Plot, Location, Characters, Research, Dialogue, Description, Putting It All Together, and Those (Not So) Minor Details. You may or may not agree this is how it should be done, or you may not agree with the order of importance, but this is the way I do it and it works for me and as my dad always says, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

You want to go there and see a book with your name on it. Or maybe you have just finished reading a pitiful novel and you know that you can do a better job. You've come to the right place. Welcome. Writing Cyberpunk is similar to writing any other form of speculative fiction. Once you have the rudiments of writing down, any form of writing will be easy to try writing. Similarly, once you have the rudiments of speculative fiction down, cyberpunk will be easy for you. The first question that you should ask yourself is "Do I have anything to say?" This is not necessarily if you have a plot and an idea for a story down, nor if you know exactly what you are doing.
