Top 10 Bits of Writing Advice
1. Be disciplined. Force yourself to sit down and work. Even when you’d rather do anything else, put something on the page. Sometimes your worst days turn into your best. If they don’t, at least you flexed your discipline muscle.

James’s Recent Updates
"5 stars aren’t enough.
I have gushed (and still do) about James Wade’s four previous books. NARROW THE ROAD, his fifth, has me sitting here like I’ve forgotten what words are or how they’re used. Things to know: Wade has an exceptional ear for dialogue." Read more of this review » |
