Writing books.
-
Are there any course out there to attend in order to write good books?
Not narrative ones. But those that talks on a fixed subject. Eg ethics.
I wonder how authors be able to write hundreds of pages on just one topic. How can i be like them? -

16year old can write 20k words essay to teacher as reflection counted as tian fen?Originally posted by FireIce:tian fen loh -
Depends on the topic.
If it bores me,i can even hardly write a paragraph.
It it interests me,i can go on days and nights. -
I think tian fen plays a part. Especially your imagination. My dad is a writer. It takes him a few months to write a book. It also depends on what you write, novel, poems, guide book et cetera. Language must be up to a standard as well.
Personnally, i think it takes a lot of planning to write a book. Must know what you are going to write and how long you want the book to be before you start. -

Of course you also have to have a hell lot of knowledge about the topic you plan to write so that you can write a long book and so that people would buy your book
maybe your english need not be THAT good.. thats what editors are for -
Haha....same for me. Too bad universities don't award dissertations on Diablo 2, Dota or Warhammer 40k...Originally posted by Patrik:Depends on the topic.

I think i have a pretty decent amount of knowledge in it. -
great but decent knowledge may not be enough it has to have alot of info or unique or different etc so that it can sell and it wont be just another book on the shelf.. you get the point.. good luck
