Tips- from John Jakes
John Jakes... He authored "Charlseton" and "The Gods of Newport" among many other successful books also wrote about about writing over 30 years ago in The Writer. His words ring especially true today.
"We live in an age of instant gratification. You won't get it in writing...except for the joy of writing itself."

Think Outside the Box 4 & Writing Tips
When you glance at this weeks photo, or study it, look closely. The two word answer is right there.
The photos I'm using the next few weeks are from Worth 1000. If you visit the Worth 1000 site, their photography is wonderful.
The September 08 issue of The Writer Magazine is focusing on keeping your writing fresh. The article on page 30 by Randy E. Nelson, "104 Worst Creative-Writing Cliches," is worth your time to read.
I'm only going to list a few from the top 10 from the '80s and '90s, as I encourage your to read Randy's article. As he says, "All of the following cliches, however, are passports to the land of babble. Try, as we say, to avoid them at all costs."
Randy says, "If you're still using any of these in your writing, then consider going into real estate. But if you're running for president, they're still OK."
Anything that comes with the territory.
Any "gift" that keeps on giving.
Any character who says that "sorry {or any other similarly expressed sentiment} just doesn't cut it."
Any issue, action, theory or conjecture that has a bottom line.
Anything that's as good as it gets.
The moral of Randy's message is creative writing should be creative. We need to stretch and think.
And the answer for this week is: Card Shark.
Again, we always look forward to your comments and ideas.

Writing Tips: Learning and Stretching
I read our entire book called $uccess, Your Path to a Successful Book all over again when I received my published copy 3 days ago. Instead of reading like a writer or editor, I read it like a consumer, hoping not to find any errors. Instead, I only wished I had added more. The Hill team learns something new every day.
We practice what we advise. See chapter IV, the Hill Team Hints... "Keep learning"... We all attended writer's workshops, in Las Vegas and Mexico, recently, and will be conducting new classes (memoirs and fiction) next week.
The tip I am adding is to stretch. It would have been easier to write a book that is comfortable for us--chefs, food, travel. Instead, we took the advise of a mentor and friends and upped our learning curve. This new writing venture has led back, or rather forward, to many more food and wine endeavors, a television appearance and teaching and travel opportunities.
At Rancho La Puerta, I re-learned to stretch my body and my mind. After stretching and hiking up a (small) mountain, I ate organic food straight from the garden, even garlic! Then, I participated in a class on a subject that was completely new and different, a stretching experience.
