(All art is derivative.) For fiction writing, a few that are helpful: Chuck Palahnuik William Gibson Robert Towne (he's a scriptwriter, so he doesn't help with pretty prose or vocabulary. but Towne is a master of dialogue and how to properly pace a story--not so fast that your readers get lost, or too slow such that they get bored.) F. Scott Fitzgerald For nonfiction writing, these helped: Christopher Hitchens (RIP) Matt Taibbi Andrew Fallows Michael Lewis 2. Practice. Find a literary magazine (or better yet, an author) and submit something like a story a month. 3. Reread and think about your stories. Do they make sense? Do the characters make sense? If it's nonfiction, do your claims make sense? 4. After about a week, submit it somewhere like TL or Fictionpress or Reddit or your blog. See what other people think. Go back to the drawing board and incorporate. 5. Resubmit, rewrite, keep your eyes open. Every day there are new stories happening in the lives of people around you. | ||
