Today I am reviewing five novels and discussing why they're opening chapters don't hit the mark. No, I'm not naming names, but yes, they're all bestsellers, which I suppose just goes to show that even the so called 'best' have issues.
This naturally, opens up a space to question the difference between a best seller and good writing, which does get touched on during this episode, amongst other various things like a technique you can use to discern what you actually want in your story.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.
Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen.
Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.
