i would love to learn to write

Hi Sue, hope you're well hun? I thought I'd point you in the direction of some sites which offer advice to writers to help them with their writing skills in the first instance: http://www.write101.com/W.Tips42.htm http://www.wikihow.com/Write-Fiction http://www.wikihow.com/Become-a-Writer http://www.fictionfactor.com/articles.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/sep/20/katepullinger.writing.fiction http://www.writing.com/page/how_to_write/how_to_write.html With the writing.com, it's a site that expects you to sign up, it's all free but there are loads of articles from other writers on there which might be of use. I write on several consumer review sites and have done for several years now and make a nice bit of money on the site. I can send you details for those in a PM if that's an avenue you'd like to try? Good luck pal :)

First decide what it is you want to write. Do you want to learn creative writing and focus on fiction, or do you want to earn a living by writing articles? If you want to make writing your career you could learn how to write magazine features, promotional copywriting, travel writing, or become a specialist writer. There is a lot of free information on the internet if you do some searching, without having to pay for a writing course. If you look at my profile you will see some links to articles about writing on the internet. I have learned a lot by writing at Helium. It has improved my article writing skills and I have learned about using keywords, promoting my work and about how to earn money from freelance writing.

do U really think all those courses are of good help, i mean Nabokov laughed at this kind of 'learning to write', oh well your choice... in my optics there's no other way than readind discovering writing
