Today (5-4-10), the author, Jennifer Ziegler, came to visit RBMS. I think that it would be _______________________________ to be an author, because _______________________________ ______________________________. Books Jennifer Ziegler has written: (mostly for a high school audience) Alias (under the name Glen Mason) Alpha Dog How NOT to be Popular To be published next summer: Sense and Serendipity FICTION

Things I need to remember to write a book! 1)Gather all necessary equipment. - Your brain -Your imagination -Your senses (what do you: smell, taste, touch/feel, hear, see) -Your ability to focus - Something to write with/something to write on 2)Plot your course (map out your story) 3)Fuel (don’t for get to eat nutritious meals/snacks while you write)

4) Write, write, write, write, write, write, write, write, write…and then write some more. 5) Revise and edit! *Authors get graded too! Read the feedback, make the revisions…authors are PAID to revise!!! Good editing sells more books! ** Additional Editing thoughts… - make sure readers can follow your vision (what you write has to make sense to the reader) - your writing MUST be logical and consistent - do not rely on “spell check” for punctuation and spelling…have another set of eyes proof read your work
