7 Steps to Success for Chick Lit Writers and Authors
7 Steps to Success for Chick Lit Writers and AuthorsAuthor: Samantha PearceThe 'chick lit' market is going from strength to strength as more and more young women find that they can relate so uncannily to the characters in these books. These books address concepts that all women will face in some way and at some time in their lives. Whether it be facing the dilemma of balancing motherhood with a career; or whether it is having to make the choice between a sensible life partner that your parents would adore or choosing the rugged, good for nothing man that sends your heart racing! Chick lits are invariably an easy and light-hearted read written in a humorous tone and littered with slang and clichs and modern cultural references that young women can relate to. A good chick lit read will contain the following key elements: * A female lead: The main character will be struggling in at least one if not all of the dimensions of her life. These dimensions generally being her career, her love life and her relationships with family and friends.
* A unique style of writing: Often being as a recount of the heroine’s disastrous efforts in love and life, this can sometimes be in a diary format, such as ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’, which was one of the more successful ‘chick lits’. The style of writing ensures that the book can be picked up, read and enjoyed in short bursts. * Humour: The book will generally highlight the character’s failings or day to day happenings with a humorous slant.

Dryout Before You Mold OutDryout Before You Mold OutAuthor: Mark Decherd Mold needs two things to thrive inside your home: water and food. While you may be thinking about foods in your refrigerator, we’re actually talking about mold food such as drywall and plaster. That’s right: mold eats the materials on which it resides. Not only is mold unsightly and unhealthy, it slowly eats through building materials. In any case, you don’t want it in your home or building, so make sure to dryout before you mold out. Because mold needs a moist environment before it sets up a colony and begins devouring your home, it makes sense to get the water out! Whether your home has suffered from a major flood event or you have a steady drip, drip, drip in the basement, drying out is your first defense. |
