Take some writing tips from famous writers.Hilary mantel-a little pride can be a great helpThe most helpful quality a writer can develop is self-confidence - pride, if you can manage it. You write to make the world accept your ideas, and you have to believe in your own ability when the world shows no sign of agreeing with you.Leo Tolstoy and HP Lovecraft-pick the hours that work best for youTolstoy believed in starting first thing: “I always write in the morning. I was pleased to hear lately that Russeau, too. After he got up in the morning, he went for a short walk and sat down to work. In the morning, ones head is particularly fresh. The best thoughts most often come in the morning after waking while you are still in bed or during the walk.”Or stay up late as HP Lovecraft did: “At night, when the objective world has left dreamers to their own world, there come inspirations (灵感) at quiet hours. No one knows whether or not he is a writer unless he has tried writing at night.”William Faulkner-read to write“Read, read, read everything-rubbish, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter (木匠)who works as a beginner and studies the master. Read! Youll take it in. Then write. If it is good, youll find out. If its not, throw it out of the window.”21.

Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot more time reading than they did watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and write book reports. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a trick. My mother had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere, do anything and be anybody.When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went form being an A- student to a B- student to a C-student, but I didnt care.One night my mother came home and I complained about not having enough shirts. She said, “Okay, Ill give you all the money I make this week cleaning floors and bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the shirts you want.”I was very pleased with that arrangement but once I got through allocating(分配) money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep a roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, much less buy clothes.I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasnt going to get me anywhere.

She said that God would never throw me away forever; there was no way that this was going to be a major problem. The abnormality in spine turned out to be not bad; I was able to have surgery and am cured.My story is really my mothers story a woman little formal education or worldly goods who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children.24.
