Books: How I Write

How I Write
By Janet Evanovich with Ina Yalof
Copyright 2006

I picked this up a while back out of curiousity. I write thousands of words a week but I am not writing fiction.

However, I would like to write fiction.

This book is mainly a question and answer, with the questions coming from Evanovich's website.

I was surprised at the number of ways Evanovich could answer the question "I want to be like you, how do I go about it?" People must ask that a lot.

I learned nothing new here but I think someone who hasn't ever seriously considered writing fiction but might like to would find this of interest. Which, judging from the questions, is a lot of people.

Since I've semi-seriously considered it at times, and done my homework about how to go about it, there was not much new information in here. Still, it was interesting to see how she goes about putting a book together.
