Proof Is In The Reading and Heart

I was sent a link to follow by a writer friend, he said that there were some useful tips offered by the writer ( I won't name names, except to say it is a published male writer and not one I had come across before). I read the tips and advise on offer, read about his free online writing course, and do you know what I remember about it?
Well it is this; -piece of information that you don't hve in ;you head, just put(article continues)-.

I remember the typo!

The article read like an advertisement and didn't really have a human touch to it, so I suppose that is why it stood out like a sore thumb to me. There were several links to this one tutor, so I thought I would go and look at another one. I read a number list of do's and don'ts and what this man could do for my writing skills, then I read number five.

5. Writing ability: Do you know how to talk? Then you know how to write! Writing isn’t like painting or sculpting or playing tennis. You don’t need to spend years learning the basics and mastering the techniques. You’ve already done that as a child. You’re already a master writer. I give you the techniques to make it happen!
I am not sure what to make of this, my DH talks, but states he could never write a book. He is very intelligent and learned the basics of reading and writing, that is how he got into the top 1% of Mensa, but he says he still would not be able to write a book.
I told him, this man claims that he has the technique to make it happen and DH bowled me over when he said "He cannot fill my heart with the desire to write one like you have in yours".

I did not click anymore links, I had my answer, I did not need to read anymore...Strategies that allow you to write an entire chapter in just 75 minutes! An entire non-fiction book in just 25 hours! How to create three-dimensional characters in just seconds. Even how to buy a certified best-selling plot for just 75 cents without ever worrying about copyright infringement. These techniques will turn you into a book-writing machine!

But I didn’t stop there. I developed techniques that allow you to:

• Get an agent in just 36 hours

I have the desire in my heart to write my book, to maybe, one day have an agent or a publisher notice me. I do not need to rush it and I certainly do not want to become a book-writing machine.

Others will have been guided by this man and attained great things, I am sure, but I am afraid it is not for me.
