Nicholas Sparks Shares Tips for Aspiring Writers

[FadingDream97]

Terrible, terrible advice.

[robertjinkinson]

wow read 50 books before you write a novel.... I believe when something great lay dormant in ones mind one should read what ever they please and enjoy life until that unique beauty of a book crawls through the canals of your arteries and onto the format on which you choose to write!

Wow. I happened on this by accident. His advice sucked almost as much as his writing. Why is this guy so popular? Oh, that's right. America likes crap.

[ahmaer]

...and, of course, he thanked God.

[msa1985]

his books are terrible but it is excellent advice for people who want to write "genre" (the same shit over and over).

Still..advice that will help you accomplish your goal (writing terrible shit every year).

[thewhiteafrican]

his best advice would be: "don't do what i do"

[devilshomie]

I gotta a tip for aspiring authors, don't use the same formula over and over again

HAHA! people should NOT listen to this guy. Nicholas Spark's biggest downfall is his inability to write something original. All of his books have the same plot, just different events and characters. He even talk about keeping a novel fresh by changing the events and characters. But that is NOT a way to write an original novel.

I still don't understand why people read his stuff.

@movieman1990 BECAUSE.... it makes us view the bright-side of life. People have emotional problems or even worse, someone who died in thier family or a parent who's been deployed and we turn to things like this that would alleviate our minds from dismay or sorrow.

I so enjoyed this video. Thank you for posting this. I'm such a fan of his books and movies.

how can an author who doesn't enjoy writting give young writers good advice?

[angrymail123]

@FaBuL0uSTATiii I think what Sparks is trying to say it that writing doesn't come easily to him. He considers writing the best possible book a challange. He is trying to be modest and doesn't want aspiring writers to think it comes easy.  And I have only read one of his books "Three Weeks With Micah" which I enjoyed. So I am not an over the top fan, just an observer.

@FaBuL0uSTATiii I know, sparks says he hates writing
