Excerpt from Chapter 1:

Your reader desperately wants one thing.
You have it in your power to give your reader that one thing.
And what is that one thing?
I could tell you what that one thing is, and you would nod and agree that yes, that one thing is clearly something all readers want.
But telling you that one thing wouldn’t make it stick in your mind forever.
I want it to stick.
I’d rather show you that one thing. Once you’ve seen it, once you’ve lived it, you’ll never forget it. That one thing will be inside you, fueling everything you write.
So let me tell you a quick story about one of our ancestors who lived many thousands of years ago in a small village on this planet we call home.
When I say he’s our ancestor, I mean it literally—he’s your ancestor and he’s my ancestor and he’s every human’s ancestor.
That ancestor of ours was once a thirteen-year-old boy, the newest man in the village, and the smallest.
Imagine you’re that boy on the day when word comes to the village that there’s a killer tiger ravaging the village’s herd of goats.
The Tale of the Tiger
You’re furious. A drought has been burning the land for many months. That herd of goats is all that keeps your village from starvation.
You’re also terrified. There’s only one way to get rid of a killer tiger. The village has to organize a hunt, find the tiger, and kill it. But that won’t be easy, because there’s nothing more dangerous in your world than a killer tiger.
The village headman sends word around to the whole village. All men meet in the village square, and bring your spear.
When the messenger comes to your hut, he shakes his head and frowns. He thinks you’re too young to go.
In your heart, you’re afraid he’s right. You only just became a man in the last month. You’re small. You’re skinny. You’re weak.
But in your head, you know he’s wrong.
If the village doesn’t kill the tiger, it’s going to steal every last goat, and the village is going to die.
To save your people, you and every man in the village have to work together to kill the tiger.
You know very well you might not come back. A thousand times in the village square, you’ve heard the village story-woman tell the Tale of the Tiger. You know that when a tiger is surrounded by men with spears, it always looks for the weakest man—and attacks that man.
Sometimes the man kills the tiger.
Sometimes the tiger kills the man.
You’re terrified, but you know you have to go.
You grab your spear and run to the village square.

Attention hey101....I just downloaded this ebook successfully from zippyshare. Try using a different browser. I downloaded this using firefox but sometimes when I have trouble with a download I try it in google chrome and the download works. Just a thought. Max reps added.

Also works fine in Opera.

BTW - Randy Ingermanson is an awesome writing teacher. If you sign up for his newsletter, you'll get tons of good writing stuff every month and I believe you can see all the back issues, as well. Look for his commentary on The Hunger Games and why it works so well. You'll learn a lot.

Zippy has become a somewhat problematic download site. I'm running malwarebytes full system for virus detection, and it routinely finds at least one bad page for every download. As it goes, the page for the download pops up, and every time I hit the orange download button, it spawns another page (almost all of which malwarebytes doesn't like. Trojan, hijack, etc...)
If I keep clicking on the orange button, usualy on the third or fourth try, I get the actual download window from Zippy and all goes well from there. Before Malwarebytes, I was routinely cleaning up several phishing pages per download. At this point, most are either blocked or stripped of bad links so I dont woory about it so much. Still do nightly scans anyway from two different antivirus vendors, though.

Perhaps others having difficulty with Zippy links are just not seeing the result of their antivirus blocking all the crap that is associated with the site and preventing them from seeing the actual download window... BTW, I do use firefox, not the microsoft browser.

RANDY INGERMANSON

("The Snowflake Guy")

STUFF

... and a Whole Lot More!

I am re-upping the book StillStanding shared in the OP as well as lots of other stuff. Most is by Randy Ingermanson but there is a fare share of useful author advice and resources from Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn. As you delve into the resources, you will see how Penn ties to Ingermanson and why this makes sense for a double-dipper share.

For anyone who doesn't know who Randy Ingermanson is, he's known as "The Snowflake Guy" made popular by his famous writing method.

Here is a video done by the site owner of The Creative Penn. She gives you a nice introduction (see, I told you that Joanna Penn was connected in a way that led directly to some of her stuff that I share here, too).
