10 Elementary Tips For Writers From Sherlock Holmes
I just discovered Sherlock Holmes on BBCA via my husband and have become quite hooked.
For those of you just starting out (& enjoy SH), I think you'll find this article interesting. I have yet to fully accomplish the following tips, but am having a good time on the journey. I try to pay attention to as much detail as possible, but I haven't reached the obsessed level yet.
Have a look.
Since Sherlock Holmes first appeared in 1887, the four novels and 56 stories featuring him have never been out of print. He has become the most-played movie character in history, with 200 actors having played the role.
Other writers have created memorable characters who solve mysteries with reason. But Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is the detective who has truly captured the world's imagination.
To celebrate the anniversary of Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday, I thought I would put together 10 things writers can learn from the world's most famous detective.
1. Master your craft: Writers have to learn the rules before they break them. Sherlock Holmes is a master of deduction, but this did not happen overnight. Although he is intelligent and talented, he constantly works on improving his skills. He is a big believer in learning the basics before you rush into something complex. Holmes says, 'Before turning to those moral and mental aspects of the matter which present the greatest difficulties, let the enquirer begin by mastering more elementary problems.'
2. Pay attention to details: Great writers are observers. They watch and they listen, they notice things that others miss. When Holmes first meets Watson, he says, ‘You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive.’ He is not a psychic. As he goes on to explain to Watson, he sees that the doctor has been ill, that he has suffered an injury, and that his face and hands are tanned. He fits them together and deduces his history from his appearance. Holmes focuses his faculties. He listens and he will not allow himself to be distracted.
3. Obsession works: Most writers who succeed do so because they want it more than anything else. They try harder. They are prepared to make sacrifices to achieve their goals. They love writing for the sake of writing. Holmes is equally obsessed with solving puzzles. In fact, he is prepared to do it without a fee. The thrill of solving a crime is enough for him. 'They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains. It's a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work.'

10 Lessons I Learned While Writing My First Novel
Interesting article and I have discovered, one that rings true.
I learned quite a few of these lessons while writing book one of the Max Hamby series.
10 Lessons I Learned While Writing My First Novel
by Emily Wenstrom
1. Everything will take longer than you expect.
And that means everything. Think you can whip through that revision in a few weeks? Try a few months. Plan on querying agents by the new year? Maybe by the end of next year.
Art simply doesn’t play nicely with timelines. So instead of expecting it to cater to yours, plan on needing more time than you think you need.
2. If you love an idea, trust it.
You know what I’m talking about, right? That totally-in-love feeling you get about an idea every once in a while.
Not the kind where it sparks and then deflates seconds later. The kind where you think about it all day and it keeps you up at night and maybe even enters your dreams. When you love a story idea that much, that’s an idea to run with.
3. The most important question is “What if … “
This simple question got me over every hump of writers block while writing my novel. What if the hero is too desperate to listen? What if the villain is right? What if I finish this whole bottle of vodka?*
*NOT REALLY OKAY.

Good afternoon,
I hope you all are doing well and feeling fine.
There is a bit of delay for Monday Mentionables this week, but will return next week with more links for #writers & #readers.
Progress on book 3 is moving along nicely. I'm a little over half way through and hope to finish in the next couple of weeks. After that? Book 2 and 3 will be edited (one right after the other), the covers will be revealed and I'll let you know what the release dates will be.
I am really excited to share Max Hamby's story with you all. :)

Friday Fun
Good Morning, lovely people!
The eyes are open, the butt in is in the seat and we're fully caffeinated, right?
Uh, me neither.
But, before your (& my) #amwriting begins, I've got a few sites for a couple of laughs and possibly some story ideas, keyword fight and a meme or two. All so you can join me in the sea of procrastination. ;)
No, seriously. It's Friday. You deserve, at least, a five minute break. Before you don't get sucked in. I spent a bit too long on two of the sites below.
For your reading pleasure, we have the Overheard websites.
People are quirky. Here's a few examples from the website:
1. Chick: Oh my God! I forgot I was in New York!
2. Dad to post-tantrum kid: So, did you get a lot of crying done today?
Little boy: Yeah…
3. (excited dog jumps onto lady)
Lady: Oh, why are you so frisky?
Dog walker: He's a puppy.
Lady: Oh, so he's new to New York? Soon he'll be just as jaded and angry as the rest of us.
http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/
http://www.overheardintheoffice.com/
http://www.overheardatthebeach.com/
Next up is the website FOUND.
About: We collect found stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids’ homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles– anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes.
Personally? There's a couple of jewels within these found notes that would make for an interesting story. Example:
Check it out and see for yourself.
http://foundmagazine.com/
Next, I discovered Google Fights.
2 keywords go in. One comes out.
http://www.googlefight.com/
And finally, before #amwriting, I shall meme you......
Not really funny, but true.
Have an awesomely creative day!

Thursday Three
Good morning/afternoon, people!
It's Thursday Three: Writing prompts.
The mind is slow going today, even with prompts. I've already had a pot of coffee and could probably use another. So, let's see how you do. Hopefully, you will fare better than me.
#Writers
Write a story about a New Year's party that causes time to stop.
A book report, a slingshot, a bag of old makeup

Wednesday Wisdom
Running a bit late on Wednesday's Wisdom, but here we are. :)
Last week, we explored some wisdom from J.K. Rowling. I thought this week, we could check out James Patterson.
I've read mixed opinions and feelings on him, but I find his work ethic exemplary and even inspiring. So, here we go...
What I Learned From James Patterson
I’ve been lucky enough to write with James Patterson for the past two and a half years. Before that I’d written eight novels, including Rogue, been published in multiple languages, sold books into movies, and been nominated for and won various awards. In short, I thought I knew what I was doing when it came to commercial fiction. Working with Patterson, however, I discovered quickly that I didn’t. Read more here:
http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/columns-and-blogs/soapbox/article/55152-what-i-learned-from-james-patterson.html
How I Write: James Patterson
I pretty much write seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. I’ll get up around 5:30, put my house in order, write a little bit, maybe an outline for that day. Then I’ll go out around 7, frequently walk a golf course for an hour by myself. Then I’ll come back and write until, oh, 11 or 12. It’s a combination of any business I have to do, whatever novel I’m working on, outlines … I was just compiling the number of outlines I do and found that I write about 900 pages of outlines a year. Most outlines are three or four drafts, so it’s a lot! Then one full novel a year, and whatever polishing … If you came to my office, Noah … Sorry, maybe we’ll only get through one question here…

James Patterson Explains Why His Books Sell Like Crazy
“Let’s shoot the breeze for a bit,” says James Patterson, exuding a relaxed attitude on a recent morning at his Palm Beach home despite the fact that he has 13 books coming out this year. He had 11 last year. To date, the 65-year-old author has published 95 books—his most recent, “Guilty Wives,” hit shelves this week—and according to Nielsen ranks as the country’s top-selling author.

A Pep Talk From James Patterson
So Writer, you’re trying to write a novel in 30 days. Has anyone told you you’re crazy yet?
You’re not crazy. I promise. I know because I’ve written a novel in a couple of months. And yes, I’m a human being (just ask my editor, or my wife) and I do sleep. The book even got published. So anyone who tells you it’s impossible is wrong and you should probably stop taking their advice. Unless it’s your mom. Then just stop taking her advice about writing (you should still floss once a day).

Traveling Tuesday
Good Morning!
It's Traveling Tuesday. Pic Prompts for #writers.
Settle in, because we're off to Black Valley Kerry Ireland.
Your character has traveled here. For what? Business? Family? Perhaps a home was left to him or her?
The Black Valley in County Kerry, is a remote location in the Macgillycuddy's Reeks situated south of the Gap of Dunloe and north of Moll's Gap. The valley is also part of the Kerry Way, a walkers version of the Ring of Kerry beginning and ending in Killarney.
The valley is also noted for being the last place in Ireland to be connected to the electricity and telephone networks due to its remoteness. The connection happened in 1978, according to a CIE Tour Guide
