Authors, Writers, Publishers, and Book Readers

Is there anyone that can be my mentor in structuring my writing career...

I am a beginner writer and I so desepartely need someone who can mentor me in helping me to become a better writer. I would love someone who writes fiction or non fiction...my genre is non-fiction and fiction romance novels. This would truly be blessing and honor to have your wisdom on how to write and put together correct sentence structure as well as grammar. Thanks for your support it is truly a blessing,

Frances

Frances,

My suggestion is to just get it down on paper...it won't be perfect- but that's okay.

Even accomplished writers hand their book off to an editor who corrects it.

The most important thing is to get the story ''out of you" without worrying that it's not good enough.

Thanks Heidi....I have already done that...but I lack the ability to structure my sentences properly and have the correct grammar. I love to write...but I would like to become a better writer...it would be nice to have someone help me to improve this talent. But I really appreciate your words of wisdom and I will keep them in mind as I continue to write. Thanks so much!

There should be book writing clubs in your area. The usually meet through the local library or through the chamber of commerce. You may also want to check with your local community organizations. While the ideas are always going to come from you, these organizations usually have sponsored groups that can help keep you motivated to write more and stay the course.
