Becoming an Author: Using A Mentor

While you are on the first steps towards creating your book, you need to make use of a mentor.  The time to ask what people think of your story is when you’ve finished.  But before you begin, and while you go through the writing process it is good to be aware of other writers’ writing styles and use those as mentors.

Pick a book that you love and figure out what you love about it. What is it about it that you find engaging, entertaining, thrilling, or fun? Find out what it is and get inspiration from that.

Pick a paragraph in that book and be inspired.  What is it that the author has written?  How has the author written it?  Please don’t copy – but allow the structure of their words to inspire you.

Think of the event, the people, and the location in the paragraph you’ve picked, and allow those words to help prompt your imagination to create an event, characters, and place of your own.
