    ou're not here for more of the same; the advice on repeat all over the internet claiming to be the "best" way to write a book if you want to fill-in-the-blank. There is no best way.
    There is only the way that reaches deep inside your life, clutches at the core of your human experience, and squeezes the story from the most potent pieces. How you choose to package that art is entirely up to you. Of course, being informed about what the packaging does to the translation of your story is important to understand. How readers interpret the writing itself can change what you intended to create.
   These are the brushstrokes, the colors, the technique you use against the canvas of your book. And, just as a painter must develop these methods and techniques in order to fulfill the vision inside their mind, so too do writers have to amass certain techniques, theories, and tools in order to do their story justice in the mind's of the reader.
     Because the art of writing is the art of translation and interpretation, and Wrivlit is about extracting the unique dialect of the individual artist through education.

Do you ever wonder how the classic authors did it? How they managed to write art that lasts decades                     ?

It's not because their work is "old timey." And it's not because times were different "back then." There's no denying that there's a difference in entertainment needs from 150 years ago to today. But beneath the necessity of faster dopamine withdrawals, readers still crave what's at the heart of the most memorable classics.
     Substance. Depth. Morality and the corruption of it. The messiness of humanity and the way we attempt to clean it up. But nowadays? Something threatens the richness of this art.

The case against "fast fiction" and the havoc it's wreaking on the average reader.

generations

all about balance!

We can all agree that consuming fast food every day will make us sick, yes? As with any industry, as accessibility rises, quality sinks. I believe self-publishing is overall not bad something good for the book industry. But what this has created is a desire to write more, faster.
      Enter: every business telling you to write faster, make more money. It becomes not about the art of creating fiction, but about publishing as many books as you can to earn a living. Is earning an income a good goal? Sure. But when you have many people dedicated to quantity instead of quality, well...
      Have you ever read these primarily self-published books on Kindle Unlimited? You fly through them, book after book, only to forget the name of the book. The characters. The author? It's entertaining, and gets the job done. Like fast food. But it fills you with fast dopamine hits to keep you reading and cookie-cutter plots from a structure or formula the author got on some website.

Any book idea can work if you understand the fundamentals of good story and true writing.

Stop worry about the trends. Stop checking the market for what'll be hot next so you can capitalize on readers' obsessions. That plot structure? Templates? Throw it away. If it's not true to you, if it doesn't feel like creating art and feels more like an assignment, it's not worth it.

Not if you're someone who wants to create lasting art that reaches across generations. 

to be clear, there is nothing wrong with writing to market, earning a living writing fast & often if that's what you want.

Wrivlit is just for those who want something deeper.
