For the Creative Writers

I had to post this for you creative writers in our group. It goes with what we were talking about on Monday as far as how we write and revise.

I watched an interview today on TV with John Grisham. He was asked about what advice he would give aspiring writers to write a novel. His answer was simple: "Write a page everyday. If you write one page everyday, then you will have a novel in a year." Seems simple. That may be some good advice that we could give our students. One page in a day is not overwhelming, yet it may be hard to create one page that is polished. It's still comforting to know that Grisham's goal is to write one page a day. The other side of the equation is that Grisham works from an extensive outline that he says can take years to develop.

I think I'll start my "one page" tomorrow and work on the outline later.
