Writing A book thread...

I am currently writing a book, and if anyone could give any tips, than i would appreciate it.

I will not give away the plot or the title, but if you could give basic tips that would be nice.

Thanks

I'm also writing a book. I just can't seem to get it to over 18,000 words though. I want it to be 30,000 ideally.

I don't know how to suggest writing better. Just use lots of description, and write about something that will appeal to as large an audience as possible.

Also, if someone knows a quick and easy way to get a publisher or an agent to pay attention to you, please let me know. I have been sending out online queries to all the publishers and agents I can find online, but no responses. I can't be assed to mail out 50 page manuscripts to 100 different places yet at this point.

My friend also has a completed book that I think is amazing and deserves to be published, but he can't find anyone either.

Oh the paradox. No publishers want you if you haven't already had a successful book. You can't have a successful book if you don't have a publisher first.

well. my book, is sort of a multi-genre book. I am incorporating (in every sense of way) feelings from popular books and books that im reading currently.

For example:

I add, puzzles (Da Vinci Code)

Notes, Killing, Murder (Koontz) \

...etc.

So, Im not having any problems on it whatsoever.

But, on the person who posted before me, i have a question. How many pages would you consider 15,000? And don't forget to keep on trying. J.K. Rowling didn't get it any easier on her first book either!
