Tips menulis dari Paulo Coelho
On Confidence You cannot sell your next book by underrating your book that was just published. Be proud of what you have. On Trust Trust your reader, don’t try to describe things. Give a hint and they will fulfill this hint with their own imagination. On Expertise You cannot take something out of nothing. When you write a book, use your experience. On Critics Some writers want to please their peers, they want to be “recognized”. This shows insecurity and nothing else, please forget about this. You should care to share your soul and not to please other writers. On Notetaking If you want to capture ideas, you are lost. You are going to be detached from emotions and forget to live your life. You will be an observer and not a human being living his or her life. Forget taking notes. What is important remains, what is not important goes away. On Research If you overload your book with a lot of research, you are going to be very boring to yourself and to your reader.
