Will Write for Shoes, How To Write A Chick Lit Novel. Review. 08/14/2010

I picked a new reference book, Will Write for Shoes, How to write a Chick Lit Novel, by Cathy Yardley, and found it as uninteresting to me as, chick lit. The wonder is why I ever thought I would be excited by a reference book about a genre that does not interest me. I guess I was trying to broaden my writing horizons, lol, I will return to doing what I do best and letting the others do the rest. If you love Sex in the City or Bridget Jones Diary, and want to write in this genre they now call, chick lit, this book might suit you.

I have one brand new copy of Will Write for Shoes, How to write a Chick Lit Novel, by Cathy Yardley that does not interest me, that I might pass on to another family member which is at that ‘certain age’, and does have a writers talent and absolutely adores Bridget Jones Diaries, movies. I have four grandchildren, two of them are great writers, for their age group and the eldest girl is writing novels already while her friends are writing Halloween invitations and I love having a younger novelist in the family to encourage

For those interested in this genre, I bought this book through fishpond; see the link in my side bar. I find them fantastic to order books through. This one is not a bad book, it has a lot of good general writing information in it, it is just that I will have that information covered in other writing books. I should have recognised this book was not for me by the books cover, (yes you should judge a book by its cover in this case), lol, I don’t ‘do’, lolly pink or high heels.
