Continuing my publishing how-to series, I created a guide on how to write a novel. I outline 10 important steps in the conceptualization, research, writing, and proofreading phases of the novel creation process.
Since I have published my new novel, people have asked me all sorts of questions about writing and publishing. To address these questions, I will publish a series of articles about the mechanics of writing, the book editing process, the publishing process, and finally, the marketing of the final product.
Today, I will start at the very beginning—how to become a better writer. In this article, I outline five fundamental ideas on how to improve one’s writing. I’ve used these basic principles for over ten years now, and have been satisfied with the results.

The Kuhl Uberkuhl baseball cap meets all these criteria. I wrote a review outlining the details.
After a long bout of cheap sneakers, I decided to upgrade to some decent running shoes. After trawling REI reviews, I came upon a favorably rated pair: La Sportiva Wildcat Trail-Running Shoes.
I just wrote a review of the shoes with some pics. Overall, I am very happy with them. They are light, well cushioned, and well ventilated. I wear them pretty much all the time now…
