There is more to writing than meets the eye.bigginin, middle, cliamax and end, must be strong enough to hold one's attention to the very end so they keep coming back for more!

You've got the path down to a science Raul. Now, all we have to do is to follow the yellow brick road. Sound advice and direction for any aspiring author.

I agree, One of the secrets to successful writing is to choose a subject that you know something about and make it interesting. No one wants to be bored. If what you write is boring, no one will want to read it, and they may avoid reading anything else that you write in the future.

Amen to your poem. Writing it and sticking with it is not that easy. I have just released Stories of the Dreamtime. I wrote 16 chapters way back in 2015 - Americans love stories of our culture. K xx

You have given some excellent advice in this ultra-concise poem. You're right. If the writer doesn't make the characters seem real and creates a disjointed plot, the result won't be a best seller!

Because I tend not to write stories I'm not likely to be able to capture an audience Raul, but I do have a small collection of friends who read my poetry, well done my friend, blessings Roy

I enjoyed reading your poem, Raul. It was formatted in a nice
way. Your lines read smoothly with great advice to potential
authors. The third line about characters was so important.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

These are the basics, for sure! One needs a theme, a through line from beginning to end, enough action and description to entice the reader, characters we either love, or love to hate...

I haven't come close to writing good prose, but I'll keep this in mind!

Another fine poem, Raul----if only i could heed your words----I wrote a novel years ago, the only one for me, usually it's all I can do to manage more that one or two pages before I'm looking to end it, but haven't sent it out, too afraid I'll be told it sucks.
