He said, \"We're even offering a degree in creative writing.\" Generally it was, I think they took, it was 13 hours of writing classes and 40 hours of literature. So, I took two classes on poetry and a short story class, which, the poetry classes I think were very beneficial, 'cause they taught me the discipline of words. And we were a very small department. There were only 13 of us in the department. And this was in the days when all the guys were going to college because that was one way you could get a draft deferment. So, university was packed. And so we had this little tiny creating writing department and people thought we were the weird people on campus, us and the psychology majors. But, I would definitely recommend, those of you who are thinking about going into writing, I definitely recommended creative writing courses. Well, at the University of Missouri, they weren't very much related. They weren't very related at all. Journalism teach you to write, teaches you to write newspaper style. Creative writing, with its emphasis on literature, teaches you to write in a more literary style. Again, like I say, the poetry, God knows, you know, I don't write poetry anymore, but that taught me to think about every word and how important every word is, which is something I still try to do today in writing books, to choose the best possible word you can come up with. In a writing a writing seminar that said, always reject the first words that come, the first phrase that comes into your head, because it's probably a cliche. Well, \"Dragonlance\" was Tracy's idea. I mean that's just, the entire world was Tracy's idea. We're just visiting.\r\n\r\n- Is this, is this the one at five?\r\n\r\n- Yeah.\r\n\r\n- Oh, okay.\r\n\r\n- Yeah, you're not late, we're just visiting. I may, I don't know. Is this, is this thing on?\r\n\r\n- Yep.\r\n\r\n- Is it? Okay. I'm just recovering from a cold, so hopefully my voice won't give out. So, basically, Tracy was the idea person, developed the world. He was in charge of the entire project. And when we started writing the books together, Tracy and I had developed such a wonderful relationship, such a tremendous friendship, that I knew I needed, even though I did the writing, most of it, I knew I needed Tracy with me on the books. And so I usually, I get asked this question a lot about, you know, writing partners, and if I do the majority of the work, shouldn't I get the majority of the money? And Tracy and I have always split everything 50/50 because I don't see where you draw a line between the idea, the inspiration, and just putting the words down on paper. So it's, working with a partner, and I've written with other co-authors, Don Perrin, my husband, and I write together, and he has a military background and does all the military bits, which is something that I have no knowledge of, other than what I've read. And so that's very valuable. Quite a bit. They've hired us on as consultants when, Wizards of the Coast by TSR, they hired us as consultants to come back and because \"Dragonlance,\" they wanted it more unified because there were some people like growing off into Fifth Age, and some people were staying firmly in Fourth Age, and the Fourth Age people weren't speaking to the Fifth Age people, and it was all getting kind of weird. So they said, why don't you come back and bring it all together? Which is what we're doing right now with \"The War of Souls\" project.\r\n\r\n- So there were mixed opinions, even in TSR, about the change from Fourth Age to Fifth Age?\r\n\r\n- No, I think TSR was pretty set in Fifth Age, but I was talking more about the fans. It was the fans that got kind of split off, which is something we never intended to happen. But, unfortunately, \"Dragons of Summer Flame\" got caught in the big TSR bankruptcy. So, that project didn't actually work out as well as it should have. Hopefully, we're gonna fix that. Do we have any more chairs? Probably, my favorite, well it's kinda like asking a mother which of her kids is her favorite. I think the \"Star of the Guardian\" series, because it was a series I wanted to write for 10 years, and finally got a chance to write. So, that has a very big place in my heart. But, like I say, I like, I enjoyed all the works I've done. And future work. The first \"War of Souls\" book will be out in March of 2000 and the name is \"Dragons of a Fallen Sun.\" And the sequel to \"The Soulforge,\" the Raistlin stories, will be out in August. That's called \"Brothers in Arms,\" kind of Caramon and Raistlin in basic training.\r\n\r\n- Is there a general direction you're taking with Dragonlance right now, books and how, I mean, do you have a general idea of what you want to get to someday?\r\n\r\n- Yeah, we know where we're going.\r\n\r\n- You know where you're going?\r\n\r\n- Yep. I can't tell you. But, we know. In fact we just finished the first book. We turned it in. It's the longest book that we've ever written.\r\n\r\n- Mm-hmm. I was going for a thousand manuscript pages, but I didn't make it. I missed it by a hundred.\r\n\r\n- Is that a series or is it gonna be a single book?\r\n\r\n- It'll be, that's a single book. Yes?\r\n\r\n- What have you learned from other freelance writers?\r\n\r\n- What have I learned? Oh, gosh. Gary Paulsen always told me to keep my day job. I think my agent, Ray Peekner, who was also a writer, who used to write pornography for a living, he gave me probably the best, I'm not even sure whether it's advice or an adage or what, but he used to say that, and this is probably a good place to start into the lecture, that it takes 10 years to get published, from when you first seriously start thinking about writing, to when you're finally published. That's what Ray used to tell me. And that was true in my case, because I majored in writing in college, and I sold my first book at 30. And most of the other freelance writers I've talked to, one way or another, it's taken them about 10 years of work before they finally get published. And, of course, then there's some that have been longer. It's a very difficult process. It is not easy. And you have a lot to overcome, and kind of basically, a lot of what I'm gonna talk about in this lecture is going to sound very pessimistic, 'cause I'm gonna tell you just exactly how hard it is. And I'm gonna tell you all the roadblocks and pitfalls. And, but the reason I'm doing that, is so you don't give up. So, if you want to get published, and you send out your manuscript, and it's rejected right off the bat, you don't quit and say, well, hey, that's it. Because if you do that, you're never gonna make it. Ray also told me that you look at writing as the writing itself over here and the being published over here. So that they're kind of two separate things. So that, yes, as you're writing, your goal is that somebody will read it, but there is value in the writing, in doing the writing itself, that if it never gets published, Emily Dickinson, you know, perfect example. If it never gets published, the writing is still valuable. And if it does get published, then you've advanced on to another part. I've worked in the publishing industry since 1970, one way or another. I started at the bottom. I started as a proofreader for a little publishing house in Independence, Missouri, and I've done about everything. I've done proofreading, editing, typesetting. I was a phone receptionist for a while. I was an advertising director. Like Ray said, or, Gary said, I kept my day job. There were a lot of years that I wrote at nights and on the weekends, after the kids were in bed or before the kids got up, and worked my day job, and sent my stuff out. And you just pretty much have to plan on doing that because, in the beginning, you're not gonna make enough money to live on. So, again, a lot of what I'm gonna talk to you about today too are my viewpoint as an editor, what I looked for in manuscripts when they came across the transom, and my viewpoint as an author. So, I can kind of go both ways. I think the vampires are leaving. Like I was, I think it's very important to major, or to take some sort of writing classes and literature classes, when you're in college. Don't just, if you're interested in writing science, and science fiction and fantasy, or if you're interested in writing romances, or mysteries, or whatever, don't just read romances, or mysteries, or science fiction and fantasy. Give yourself a good grounding in all of literature because that will be immensely beneficial. See how Charles Dickens brought characters to life and made them real. See how Jane Austen dealt with the marvelous satire that she wrote in her romances. I mean so often I get, you know, letters from people who are saying, well, you know, I don't read anything except fantasy. I don't want to write anything except fantasy. And that's probably a real good way not to get any of your work published because you'll end up with tunnel vision. You'll end up not getting any ideas. Wonderful ideas are out there and they're coming from all over. So that's another reason I recommend creative writing and literature backgrounds, as opposed to journalism, 'cause, again, journalism is a very structured form of writing. I mean it's, heck, in the old days, that's where everybody started. Steinbeck, Hemingway, you know, they all started as journalists. But this day and age, we, you know, generally universities have a choice. You've gotta divide it up into journalism on one side and creative writing on the other. Journalism is good. It gives you, the one good thing about journalism is it does give you an entry into a day job. Is that you can write, if you can write for newspapers, you can write for magazines, again, anything to pay the bills, while you're sitting there working on your novel and it's going into boxes. Let's see. So give yourself a lot of time. Not only, it's not just that you need the skill, the writing skills, at the age of 20, or 21 or two, in order to write a good book, you need life experience. You need a knowledge of the human condition. And this basically comes about by living. I know that the books I wrote in my mid twenties, were not any good at all. It was kind of funny, because I actually wrote the \"Star of the Guardians\" books, and I guess I was about 28? 29? And I sent those to, I sent the first one, finished the first novel, and sent it to Ray. And he sent it to Ace, Susan Allison at Ace. And Susan wrote me back this very nice rejection letter. And you get to the point where there are good rejection letters and bad rejection letters. And we'll get into that in a minute, but I got a good rejection letter, in that she actually wrote to me personally, signed her name, gave me an entire letter on what I needed to do. This is why we're not going, this is the good things, these are the bad things. This is why we're not going to accept your book. So, at that point then, I was going to work for TSR. I was in the middle of a divorce, and then I went to work for TSR, and I moved to Wisconsin. And the \"Star of the Guardians\" stuff, just went and sat in a box in the closet, for many years. And then about 1985, I guess it was, when Tracy and I left TSR and went to, and we got our first big New York publishing gig with Bantam Books, they were really eager for anything else we had, to buy anything else we had. And I said, \"Well, gosh, I've got these 'Star of the Guardians' books,\" and they said, \"Oh, yeah, we'd love it.\" So, I go into the closet and I dig out the box, and I started reading, and it was awful. It was so bad. I couldn't believe just from how much I had improved, working with editors over the years and everything. And so here I had sold this book and I said, \"Oh yeah, I've got it finished,\" and all this. And I had to sit down and start at the very beginning and completely rewrite that from beginning to end. So, and, you know, when I was 28, it looked really good to me. A lot different when I was 35, but that's good. That's one reason that it's very difficult for me to go back and read anything that I've written, is because I find all the flaws. I find all the mistakes and I want to fix it. So, I'm usually looking ahead. And I think every book I write, I try to do better, I try to make better than the last book I wrote. Okay, so, you've got your day job and you're writing, where's a good place to start? It depends a lot on the genre, and let's face it, there are, you can go write the great American novel, and terrific and contemporary fiction, or you can do genre writing, or you can do both like Ellis Peters, one of the great mystery writers, who is best known for her historical, serious historical works, as Edith Pargeter. I got started in writing, like I said, in juvenile non-fiction. That's a good place to start because, especially if you're knowledgeable on a subject, I happen to be knowledgeable on Frank and Jesse James. I was just interested in the James brothers. Being born and raised in Independence, Missouri, which is where they hung out, Frank James was buried in a grave across from my grade school. And I've always been interested in history. So, I did my homework when I was trying to get published. I did some investigating and discovered that nobody had ever published a book for young people on the James brothers, say, we're talking sixth, seventh, eighth grade readership. And so I wrote up this proposal and sent it to Ray, who sent it off. And I said that in the cover letter. I said, \"There's no material available on the James brothers.\" And, of course, all sorts of kids need this stuff for book reports, you know? And history reports. And, so, yeah, that sold it. The publisher said, \"You know, you're right. Okay, we'll buy it.\" So, if you're an expert on anything, anything weird like this. Frogs, you know, somebody out there is probably looking for a book on the subject. Like I say, it didn't pay anything. And I don't think the book's been in print for years. I think it maybe sold 5,000 copies, mainly went to libraries, but it's a start. And every bit of writing you do is practice that's going to get you to the eventual goal. And research is especially important. Learning how to research. All these research papers you're doing that you're thinking, oh, God, what a waste? That's invaluable. Just absolutely invaluable. Teaching you how to research, because even fantasy books, you research. When I wrote \"Rose of the Prophet,\" which is an Arabian fantasy, I went back and I did lots of research into Arabic culture. So, all these are fantastic skills that are going to be of immense value to you when you go out into the world. Now, I have talked about the fact that I had an agent. That's a big help, but it's kind of a catch-22. You see, an editor has two piles of manuscripts, on the desk or in the office. And one is called the slush pile. And this is a pile of what is known as unsolicited manuscripts. And this is a manuscript that you send in just cold, hoping that somebody will read it. And that is usually a miss. I mean, at one point, and this was years ago, at one point Harper \u0026 Row was having unsolicited manuscripts delivered to them by a truck. It was estimated, in 1980, that when you sent out your manuscript, you were one of 1 million, either going to publishers or coming back from publishers, at that particular moment. So, this is the kind of competition you're up against. Now, that's the daunting part. The good part, I guess, is that 99% of this stuff is garbage. I mean, 99% of it, the editor will simply maybe even look at the first page, or maybe not even get that far, and throw it out or send it back. So, how do you get yourself out of the slush pile? Now, the slush pile sits there. They have readers. Most of the time, a New York editor or any kind of editor, won't even look at the slush pile. It goes to a reader. Reader are people that they hired to do nothing but read manuscripts and recommend them. So, your manuscript, if it goes, gets in there, it may go to a reader, if it gets past the wastebasket, it'll go to a reader and the reader reads it. And if he or she likes it, they'll recommend it. It may go to another reader. It may go on to a third reading. If you get a note from the editor that said your manuscript went to a third reading, or it's in a third reading, hey, that's really pretty good. And then by that time, it may get to the editor. On the other hand, there's a little pile over here on her desk, of agented manuscripts. And the editor, the first thing she'll do, or he'll do, is to read the agented manuscripts, because they know that an agent, one, knows them, knows what they're interested in, knows the proper form to submit the manuscript, and isn't gonna give 'em garbage. So, the minute you've got a manuscript with an agency label on it, that puts you in a whole different ball game. That improves your odds immensely. So, the catch-22 is that it's hard to find an agent without having been published. And it's hard to get published without having an agent. We're fortunate in, those of us that are running science fiction, fantasy, is that even though that's tightened up, like a lot of the other publishing genres, just because book sales have been falling the last couple of years, most of the editors are still willing to look at unsolicited manuscripts and unagented material. Whereas that probably is not true, in say contemporary fiction, so much. The best way, there's an entire book of literary, a \"Guide to Literary Agents,\" I think is the name of it, which gives you a list of agents, and their addresses and things like that. And if you have a complete manuscript, if you've got your novel all written, and you're ready to sell it, then what I would recommend doing is to write letters to these agencies, no more than about a page, and explain a little bit about your book and a little bit about yourself, and why you think this book will sell. And ask the agent if they'd be interested in taking a look at it. And send this out to 20 or 30 agents. Be very, very wary of some of these agencies that are springing up on the internet saying, \"We're looking for writers.\" Any agency that tells you that it's begging for writers it's probably a scam. And they'll say, \"Yeah, we'll be very happy to read your book or look at your book, if you'll send us a couple of thousand or whatever. There are some legitimate agencies who charge readers' fees and that's something you've got to decide. Is it worth it to you to pay somebody 175, $200, to have them look at your manuscript? It may be, it may not be. But always check an agent out very carefully, if you can, before you send anything. There's a proper form to send in manuscripts, whether you're sending it to a publisher or an agent. In fact, if you don't send it in, in the proper form, the editor won't even look at it. It will just simply get tossed into the wastebasket. The proper form is double-spaced, Courier type, don't use any fancy type, no Times Roman, don't put it into columns, don't try to make it look like a book. Editors want it like it came right off a typewriter. Courier's very good for that. So you double-space, leave lots of room, nice wide margins, single side of the sheet of paper only. Put your name and the title of the book on every page at the top. That way, if the editor, and number the pages. You'd be amazed how many people do not number the pages. And, you know, if the editor drops your manuscript and it goes all over the place, or she gets it mixed up with three other manuscripts, then you've got the pages numbered and you've got your name there at the top so that she knows which one it is. Spelling, grammar, punctuation are very, very, important. I can't emphasize this enough. When I was an editor at TSR, I would reject out of hand any manuscript that had a spelling error on the first page because that told me that the writer didn't care enough about his manuscript to check it. And, therefore, why should I care? This is a business. You've got to look at it as a business. When you send in a manuscript, you're asking that publisher to pay, oh, five, $15,000 to publish your book. They're paying you. You're selling them a product just as much as if you were selling 'em shoes or something like that. So you have to think of it in terms of a business. I had one, I got in a, really, a fight with a young author who was really pretty good. He's very talented, but his manuscript was riddled with spelling errors, and I mean, just stupid spelling mistakes. And so I sent it back and told him that I hadn't read it. And he called, he was very angry. And he said, \"Oh,\" he said, \"I am above such things as spelling. My genius. I don't descend to that level.\" And, well, you're not gonna descend to the level of getting published either, because there's nobody gonna touch you. So, you know, words are your tools. And if you're a carpenter, you don't leave your tools out in the rain. You don't mistreat them. You don't treat them carelessly. It's the same with writing. So, use your spellchecker and go back and proofread your material, and make sure when you send it out, that it's as good as you can possibly get it. It used to be, in publishing, that you could send out a synopsis and the first five chapters of a book for review. This day, like I said, everything's tightening up. It's getting harder and harder to sell material out there, especially for young or unpublished authors. And so, what I'm recommending these days, is that you really need to send out the entire novel, if you've got it. Also, include, when you send out the novel, include the synopsis or an outline, doesn't really matter. Some writers like one, and give in about, say, 15 pages, give a summary of the plot. This you do so, one, the editor can read this and see if the plot is something they are going to be interested in, or if it's something that they published 10 of last year, and they just don't want any more books about unicorns. And include in the summary of the plot, tell the entire plot. I had one that I was reading, and it came to the end, and I was really kind of interested in it, and the author said, \"And you won't believe what happens at the end.\" And didn't tell me. And I thought, well, okay? What, of course, he is trying to do is to lure me into reading the book, but that's not, I don't have time. If I've got all my other jobs I'm doing as an editor, and I've got all these manuscripts sitting on my desk, I don't have time to play games. I want to know what that plot is about. And I wanna know how it ends. So, put the ending, make it very concise, put in the ending. A lot of times what the editors will do, if they have time, is they'll read, like say, if they've got the whole novel, they'll read maybe the first two or three chapters to see how it begins, they'll read something in the middle, and then read the ending. And if they've got the plot, they can follow along with what's going on. They wanna see how you do characterization and dialogue and things. So that's what you include in this nice package and you make it very, very neat. You don't send pretty pictures. You don't send illustrations. You don't send your underwear, which some guy did to me. I don't know why. I didn't ask. You make it a very neat, businesslike package. If you want to include a cover letter and just say a little bit, again, about a page, a business letter form, this is who I am. This is my book. Thank you for taking the time to read it. Send all this in with a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return, because if you don't, they will throw it away. They won't send it back to you. If you don't. And one thing they will appreciate, especially, and this is pretty easy in these days of laser printers where you're not typing and typing and typing, which is what we did when we started out, is if you don't want the manuscript return, you can tell them just to throw it away, if they're not going to accept it. And then include just a regular business type envelope for any comments they might want to make coming back to you. And you send it to an editor by name. This requires you to do some homework. You do not send it to science fiction editor at Harper Prism. You send it to John Douglas, science fiction editor, Harper Prism. The reason you do this is, again, it gets you into another pile. There's all the manuscripts over here that have come to the science fiction editor, and some of them are wrapped in brown paper, and they're written in crayon. I'm not kidding. And then there are those who are neatly typed, and have nice labels, and are nice. And they're coming to John Douglas, and those go right straight to John Douglas. They don't sit over in a corner waiting for the science fiction editors, of whom there are several, to come by and fish some out. So, you find out the name, and there's all kinds of ways you can do this. There's a book in the library called \"Literary Market Place .\" It's an extremely valuable guide. \"LMP\" is updated yearly. It lists all the publishers and lists the names of the editors, and what their specialties are. So you go through \"LMP.\" The first you do is you notice what the different publishers are, what kind of material they're publishing. Look at Bantam. What has Bantam put out for the year? That'll give you a good idea of the sort of material they're accepting. If they're, if they're leaning heavily into romantic fantasy, then you probably don't want to send them hardcore science fiction. Those of you who are familiar with the industry, know that Bain, Jim Bain, is mostly interested in publishing military science fiction, so you certainly don't want to send him a romantic fantasy. So know the publishing group. Know the publisher. Know what they're looking for. And then if you've decided that say, you want to send it to Bantam, then go to \"LMP,\" look up the names of the editors. And then I always advise calling because editors, they switch publishers all the time, and find out if John Douglas is still at Harper Prism, or maybe he went to Avon, you know, and if he's not there, then who do you send it to? Going to science fiction, fantasy conventions is an invaluable place to meet editors, especially if you can go to WorldCon, or World Fantasy Con, because all the big New York, all the New York editors go there. And this, I'm talking science fiction, fantasy as a genre, but I know there's some of you who may be interested in romances or mysteries. The same thing holds true. Romance conventions, a great place to go to meet, not only fellow romance writers, but romance agents and editors. And at these conventions, they'll offer seminars. And they'll tell you in these seminars exactly what they're looking for. And they'll tell you how to submit it. This is invaluable information and you can write off the convention as a business trip. And you can go to, they have parties at World Fantasy Con, and they have the big parties, and you go to the parties and you stand around, and you schmooze with the editors. And these editors, they're really great people, most of 'em. And, you know, don't monopolize 'em. Don't do like one lady did, my editor Amy Stout, and follow her into the women's bathroom waving a manuscript, but say, \"You know, look, I've written this great fantasy. And it's really different. Nobody's doing anything these days. And would you be interested in looking at it?\" And nine times out of 10, they'll say, yes, they would. So there you've got a personal contact networking. You've talked, you've met Amy Stout at a convention, and you've talked to her. And when you send that manuscript in, you put in a letter and say, \"I really enjoyed meeting you at World Science Fiction Con. And we talked about this and thank you so much for taking a look at it.\" And, again, you'll get, probably get a reading much faster than if you just go into the slush pile. And you can find different ways. Raymond Feist took his first book to his local bookstore and said, his local bookstore owner, and said, \"This is my book.\" Local bookstore owner goes to New York, to one of these publicity parties that they have where they invite the bookstore owners, and they tell 'em all about the forthcoming stuff. And he comes across this editor that he happened to know, and say, \"Look, I've got this manuscript that I think is really pretty cool.\" Editor took it. Raymond Feist sells a book, first book. So, never underestimate the value of networking, of meeting people, of making contacts. Again, like I say, do your homework, know who's publishing what and why. Okay, now we've sent in the manuscript, and we know where we sent it, it's gonna take months before you get a response, if you do get a response. Months are gonna go by. So, when you finish your book, and you've sent it in, start on the next one. Don't sit around waiting for that one book to sell because it's just simply gonna take a long time. And, I mean, if you've put your heart and soul into that book and it's the only book you've got, if that's your \"To Kill a Mockingbird,\" then that's great, you know? You can sit around and wait while that book makes the rounds. But, if you're serious about doing this as a career, then turn right around and start working on that next book, because that's good practice. Because, if you do sell, and you do start getting published, they're gonna want more than one book from you. Publishers have a vested interest in making their authors, giving their authors depth. So, they just won't, you know, nine times out of 10 if they like the novel that you've sent in, they'll say, \"Well, we'll buy this and what else do you have? Is this part of a trilogy? Do you have an idea for another two books?\" And if you say, \"Well, gosh, you know, maybe in five or 10 years.\" And they'll say, \"Oh, okay, that's fine.\" But if you say, \"Well, yeah, I've got this other one that I just finished.\" They'll say, \"Send it in.\" You know? So you want to show them that you've got depth, that you're not just kind of a one book wonder, okay? And if it takes you, sometimes it may take you a long time to write, sometimes it does. I know writers that take some years to do a book and that's fine if you do. And your editor will work with you and they'll say, \"That's great. We'd rather work with you that way.\" And then there are writers, well, I knew a writer once that wrote, he was one of Ray's clients that wrote him a mystery novel in three days, 70,000 words. The publisher came to Ray and said, \"Look, we had an author default on a contract. Do you have somebody who can send us a novel?\" And he said, \"Sure, I got this guy.\" And he was a hack. And that's what he did. And he wrapped up this novel in three days and sent it in and it got published. So, let's see, okay, we sent the novel in, ah, let's go back to agents now. People always ask if an agent is worth the money. Well what happens if the publisher buys your book, okay, they will give you a contract, and they will give you an advance against royalties. Don't sell your book to somebody who says, well, I guess it wouldn't even be selling, but don't give your book to somebody who says, \"Gee, I really love your book. Give me $5,000 and I'll print it.\" That isn't being published. Being published means that they are willing to pay you money to print your book and distribute it. An agent will take, in the old days it was 10. The going rate these days, I think, for a good agent is about 15%. An agent will take 15%. They are worth the money. An agent will look at the publishing contract for you. You'd have to hire a lawyer to do this stuff anyway, which would probably cost about the same, because publishing contracts make no sense to anybody outside of the publishing industry. And if you take a publishing contract to just a regular old attorney, they'll look at it and go, huh? Returns? What do returns have to do with anything? So, a literary agent knows the contracts. He knows how to bargain in your behalf. He or she knows how to get the very best deal for you. And they'll know what rights to get, to get you a percentage of movie rights, to get you a percentage of game rights, or anything else like this. The agency knows all of this. In fact, even if you have sent in an unsolicited manuscript and it's been accepted, nine times out of 10 the publisher will say, \"Please go find an agent.\" Because they would much rather deal with an agent than a novice. So, I always recommend an agent. On the other hand, a bad agent can be worse than no agent at all. So, you just kind of have to pick and choose. You may start out with one agent and find it's not working. And you want to, you may switch to another agent. Usually there are, an agency will have you sign a contract, but they're not, most of the contracts will say, this arrangement can be aggregated at any time by either party. So, if you decide you want to go, your agent isn't returning your phone calls and he hasn't sold anything for you in two years, and you want to try another agent, then that's great. Again, a lot of agents, especially those in science fiction, fantasy, go to the fantasy conventions, and are very accessible and give lectures, and tell you how to submit material. Now, you can always start writing for the magazines. Now, there aren't as many these days as there were, but like \"Amazing Fantasy\" journal? I don't know, I can't remember. \"Dragon.\" Most of the magazines that are accepting fiction, those you don't have to go through an agent. They don't even, usually agents don't bother with those 'cause they don't pay enough. So that's a place you can start out and just send your material in unsolicited. And it's the same format. It's just you're not sending in a novel, you're sending in a short story or a novella, but again, do your homework, read the magazines. See what kind of things they're interested in. Find out who the editor is. Send it to the editor by name. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope. And that's a real good way to get started because editors keep track of who's writing in these magazines. And lots of times, if you've gotten two or three stories published, and then you send in your resume and you say, \"Look, you know, I've been published three times by 'Amazing Magazine.'\" That's a real feather in your cap. And that, again, will move you into another pile, a smaller pile. And I think that holds true in mysteries and romance, not romance so much, I don't think there are romance magazines, but I believe there are mystery magazines and Western magazines are accepting short stories. Probably not as many as science fiction and fantasy. That appears to be the big thing. Fanzines, oddly enough, especially a good fanzine, a lot of editors are starting to pay attention to writers material that's in fanzines. So, if you like to write Star Trek stuff for the Star Trek fanzines, then that's a great place to start. Now, of course, there's the internet. And that's opened a whole new area for publishing, putting your works up on the internet, which is a great way for you to get people to read your material and to get feedback on it. But, unfortunately, to my mind, it's still pretty dangerous. If you put up a short story on the internet, the way the law reads now, you have pretty well given up all of your rights to it, because it is so easy for somebody to download that and put their name on it and sell it. And you might never even know that they've done it. So, I would recommend, I know it's fun putting stuff up on the internet, and if you want to do that and if you don't particularly care, you know, if you just want somebody to read your work, then that's great. Then I think, you know, go ahead and do it because it's good practice, but I would be very wary about putting something up there that you really spent a lot of time on and that you are gonna try to sell someplace else. Does anyone know how long this is supposed to last? Is there a time limit? What?\r\n\r\n- Six o'clock is when-\r\n\r\n- Oh, thought it was six hours. Okay. Yeah, I need a martini. Okay, I think right now, probably the best thing I can do is open this up to questions. And, because lots of times we'll cover stuff that I haven't even thought about. And let's, I know there may be people who have questions, like on \"Dragonlance\" and stuff, but if we could keep this to the general topic of writing, that'd be great. You can come talk to me tomorrow at the convention if you've got any specific questions about \"Realms\" and stuff. Yeah?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1150/collection_resources/42736/file/115235#t=0.0,2817.792"}]}]},{"id":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1150/collection_resources/42736/file/115236","type":"Canvas","label":{"en":["Media

A lot of times they will tell you, \"Well, start off with a big action scene, you know, because that'll get the reader's attentions.\" But what I found was that, and in fact, I had somebody sent me a story and it started out with a fight between a knight and a dragon. And it was pretty well written. And I was reading it And the dragon was a really cool character. The dragon was really neat. The knight was just forgettable. And so I'm reading this and I really came to care about the dragon, and what happens at the end of the first chapter, this dull knight kills this cool dragon. And the rest of the book is about this dull knight. So it's kind of... I always find it not really a terrific idea to start off by putting your hero in a perilous situation, mainly because your reader doesn't care about this guy yet. The reader doesn't know him yet. So why should you care what happens to him? So what I like to do is to start out kind of slow and introduce the character to the reader. So that the reader really gets to know and comes to feel something for him. Even in the first \"Death Gate\" book which I started off with Hugh the Hand facing his execution. We've got that entire ride through the streets for Hugh in the cart and I'm talking about, and he gets to interact with people and he interacts with the guards. And so that by the time he gets to the execution block, you kind of like this guy. Yeah, he's a rogue and everything else, but you feel something for him so that you care at the end of the first chapter about whether he's going to be executed or not. So, yes?\r\n\r\n- When you sit down and write a book do you know how it's going to end before you start it?\r\n\r\n- Yes.\r\n\r\n- And where do you start?\r\n\r\n- The first thing we do, or I do, anybody, is we write an entire outline of the plot. And this is invaluable. So often I get, I get email and letters from authors who are saying, \"You know, I started out my book and it started out great, but now I'm in the middle and I have no idea where it's going. And none of my characters are behaving.\" I hired an author once who was talking about the time all his characters went out and had pizza, laughing . So, but if you... And that happens, I mean, you'd be surprised. But if you have a complete outline of the book written before you start, then you know exactly where you're going. Now, the book will grow on its way and your characters will tell you things and you need to listen to them. I always say characters are having, dealing with characters a lot like dealing with children. You listen to them, you respect them, you respect their opinions. You give them freedom, but you are the parent and you are in control. And characters run away with... . Lord Soth was a perfect example of a character that ran away with us because he was such a fascinating character. And when we were writing the Legend series we kept writing more and more about Lord Soth. And it suddenly occurred to me. This guy is just a minor character. He has no business in here. So we had to tone him way down because he was starting to take over the book and characters will do that. So, but like I say, if you've got that outline, you know exactly where you're going and you're not going to get sidetracked. You're not going to just meander off and write, and write, and write, and never come to an end. Yes?\r\n\r\n- On the other end of that, it's hard for me. I've done a lot of short stories. It's hard for me to extend that. I get to a point I'm like, \"Okay, that's all I have to say.\" I mean, even with the outline, how do you keep it going and keep it interesting, and you're not just rambling on?\r\n\r\n- Well, guys, that's one of the tough parts. I like to start at a point in a character's life and then just kind of walk around with that character and see what he's doing. Again, I think that's another major mistake that unpublished and I say young author, but I may be talking about somebody who's 75, but a young author does, is that they want to tell everything all at once and right away. And so that you've told your whole story in the first three paragraphs. And what you've got to do is, and again this I think is something that comes with practice, is that you've got to back off, you've got to start at a low point. Don't start with Hugh the Hand with his head on the executioner's block. You want to start where he's coming out of the prison and getting into the cart, and the cards being trundled through the streets. And you see the crowds throwing tomatoes at him. And he's talking to the captain of the guard, and we're learning a lot about him. So you want to start, you know, give yourself room to explore and to come to know your characters.\r\n\r\n- Can I ask ?\r\n\r\n- Yeah? When you do that, and you say, editors only read the first part, you run the risk of losing them when you're given them this type of--\r\n\r\n- Well, you don't want to... Exposition is deadly. You don't want to get lost in the exposition. So you definitely want to have some dialogue in the first page if possible, at least by the second or third page. You don't want, I mean to go, and I have sometimes gone through a manuscript and flipped over page, after page, after page and it's exposition, exposition, exposition. I even write that on the top, exposition, exposition. Let your characters tell, a lot of what's going on the characters can tell you through dialogue. In the \"Dragonlance\" book we see Flint sitting on a stump and we get the nice view of the world and everything else. And then Tanis, his friend comes up and starts talking to him and they're talking. And we find out that they've been traveling for five years and all this sort of stuff, but we're doing it through dialogue. I'm not spending that entire first chapter saying, \"Well, Tanis did this and then Flint did this.\" You know, again, this is stuff that comes out in the dialogue and that's the best way to do it. And it keeps the reader interested. Motivation is another big thing and probably another big mistake that most young authors make. And again, you've got your outline, you know what your characters are supposed to do, but sometimes your character does something simply because he needs, you need him to do something and you don't provide a proper motivation. Motivation is critical. If the reader doesn't believe that the character would really do this then you've lost them. I mean, it's like, the good example of the, in the horror movies, the first girl who hears the noise in the basement and goes down the basement and never comes back. And then the second girl goes down to the basement to see what happened to the first girl. And she never comes back. And then the third girl who should be calling 911 goes down the basement. I'm sorry , no. So make certain that your character, whatever you need them to do has the proper motivation to do this. Just don't have them do it because I have to have him go down the basement now. You know, there's gotta be a reason for that. Anything else? Yes.\r\n\r\n- You and Tracy Hickman have a nice collaboration. How do you work together on them?\r\n\r\n- Well, I met a lot of other partners, writing partners and every partnership is different. So if you're thinking about working with a partner, this is just something you have to work out. The first thing you have to do is bury your egos, because egos are the biggest stumbling block to a partnership. I knew a married couple that wrote romance novels and they wrote under the, I can't, under a single name but they wrote together. And they were very successful. They'd have, I don't know, 40 or 50 published. They were really, really successful in the field. And the way they worked is that one would one would type and the other would talk and then they'd switch places and one would talk and the other would type. But they discovered that when they started disagreeing about things, that not only did that get into the way of their writing but it started affecting their marriage. So it would be like, \"Well, I don't like the way you wrote that last paragraph. And you burned the roast last night.\" So what they did was they had a hand puppet and the hand puppet would come up and say, \"I really don't like that last paragraph.\" And then the people would start talking to the hand puppet. So that's... And it worked. Writing is very personal. When you get rejected, when something you you've written gets rejected or somebody says they don't like it, they're saying in a way that they don't like you or they rejecting you, or your children, or something. I had an editor once say that the first thing you do is take your manuscript and you hold it out here and you say, \"This is me, this is the book. This is me, this is the book. You're rejecting the book. You're not rejecting me.\" That's very hard to get over because this is something you have created. I gave birth to two children and I've written books and I love my children dearly, but the books, that's something. That's me you know? I mean, anybody can have kids. So if you're writing with a partner and that partner says, \"Look, I really hate this second chapter.\" The first thing you want to do is slug him, you know. You get very defensive. \"What do you mean you hate my second chapter?\" You can't do that. You've got to bury it. You got to listen to the partner. I think partnerships bring a lot to the table. My husband, Don and I write together and he brings all his military background. And Don's got a wonderful sense of coming up with great ideas. Same with Tracy, even though I do a lot of the writing, their ideas. and then that Don does some of the writing on his side, like when we did the Kang books, \"Doom Brigade\", Don did a lot of that. And then I go over and rewrite it so it all has one voice. That's important, so that the reader isn't thinking, \"Ah, I can tell where Margaret finished and Tracy began.\" You don't want that to happen. So you want it all to have one voice, whoever does the final writing. But Don's voice came through in \"The Draconian\" so much that when with the dialogue, I hardly changed any the dialogue just because they talked like soldiers and Don was really good at capturing that and putting that down on the paper. So, and it's fun. I remember, I was, we were working on \"Dragonlance Legends\" and I had come to the, we were on a terrible deadline for that book. I had like a month to write that final book. And that was awful. I'll never do that again. But TSR was just frantic to get these books out because they wanted the money. So I had, and I had come to the very last scenes, the last chapters and I realized I had made a terrible mistake. And it started clear back in book one. And that was that it had taken, you know, Raistlin in order to enter the abyss had had to get this cleric, and he'd had to go back and do all this stuff and cast a spell and everything else. And then I needed Caramon at the end of the book to go into the abyss to rescue his brother. And it suddenly occurred to me, how's Caramon going to get in there. You know, he doesn't have all Lady Fasania, all this, how's he going to do this? And so I was frowning. I called up Tracy and I said, \"Tracy, how does Caramon get into the abyss?\" And Tracy said, \"Oh, it was very easy.\" And I said, \"Yes?\" And he goes, \"Yes, Caramon always carried American Express.\" So like I say, partnerships are invaluable. And Tracy did come up with the way the Caramon got into the abyss. Yes, anything else? Yes.\r\n\r\n- some things were rendered intentional, how do you suggest one goes about getting things like that fixed?\r\n\r\n- Getting what?\r\n\r\n- Grammatical problems.\r\n\r\n- Oh, hmm. Well, in the old days we used to diagram sentences. I don't know that they do that anymore. Actually, Tracy had a terrible problem with grammar when he started writing and he got one of these grammar programs for the computer that started flashing your lights or whatever it did whenever your grammar is going astray. Personally, they drive me crazy and I get rid of them. You've got to walk a fine line. You want to use good grammar. You don't want to split your infinitives and everything else. And yet you want your own style. And so, but again, a lot of that comes with practice. and a lot of it will come with doing your research papers, doing everything that you're doing now. I mean, hopefully professors are keeping an eye on that too. Yes.\r\n\r\n- If you were going to publish a role playing game or an adventure would you do that the same way as a novel?\r\n\r\n- Submitting it?\r\n\r\n- Yeah.\r\n\r\n- Actually that's a little bit different. He asked about getting role playing games or something like that published. What you have to do is you have to send to like TSR, or Fosser, or wherever you want to go and ask, they have to send you a permission slip to sign first before you submit your game. And this in a sense says, you know, I agree that you own this. You know, if you're writing in the AD\u0026D world, then you send this in and say, \"Well, you know I give you permission to read this and I'm not going to sue you,\" and all this sort of stuff. So, you need to write... Probably the best thing to do would be to write to the company and ask them for their writer's guidelines. And usually they've got a little packet that they'll send out that's got this slip and everything in there. Yes.\r\n\r\n- I know you went back like seven, eight years and looked at a book that you were possibly thinking about publishing and then just rewrote it from beginning to end. Have you ever done that on a more recent scale? Like you notice something towards the end of a book that isn't have the continuity it should and had to go through and rewrite big parts of things?\r\n\r\n- Oh, I always do. I always go through the entire book at least once. And sometimes I'll rewrite a chapter, maybe 12 or 15 times before I get it right, the way I like it. I'll go through the entire book once and then I go back and start over and go through it all again. That way I fix any anything that I have learned at the end that wasn't in the beginning. And a lot of times the character will change by the time you get to the end, so that things they're doing at the beginning just don't make any sense anymore. And so, yeah, that's, I always do two writings at least and most chapters a lot more than that. I have a set time every day that I write. I write from 7:30 to about 11 every day, holidays, Christmas, New Year's. If I'm home, I'm writing because it's too easy not to. That's probably the hardest part, is just to sit down and begin. But once you begin, it's a lot of... Anything else? Yes.\r\n\r\n- Is there any way to boost that discipline, like get it in a bottle or something?\r\n\r\n- No, I don't know. It's just something that I, that's it's, it's probably... My husband thinks it's kind of obsessive, but that's just the way that I have started, you know, developed a work pattern. And I know authors to do that, I know authors that can only write from two in the morning till five. But most authors that I know, freelance authors, do have a set writing time. Again, that's something you go to every day, a place in the house where you go to every day so that you're not distracted. Because you wouldn't believe how easy it is. I mean, I'll even sit there and think, \"Gosh, I ought to go, you know, sweep something.\" And I'm thinking, \"God, what am I doing? Housework? No, no.\" So you need, you definitely need that discipline. And I didn't have it in my twenties, goodness knows. Maybe in my late twenties, when I started really writing as a career. And then I had to work it around kids and everything else. But the first time you get a deadline and they say, \"Look you've got to get your book turned in by September the 6th, on this date.\", that gives you a real incentive. At least it did me. Now my husband on the other hand, is one of these who, just the way he did in college, he'd always do his term paper the night before, he'd try to do a book the night before, it doesn't work. Gotta spread it out. It's you can't, I've discovered you can't, at least for me, I can't sit there and create for much longer than four or five hours. I do my work in the morning. Then the afternoon I go do something else, I go exercise, I go shopping, I go walk the dogs. And that's my think time. That's when I'm thinking about what I've written that morning, going over at my mind, seeing if I like it, and then planning out what I'm going to write the next day. Because you want to be able to sit down the next day and start up again. In fact, Gary Paulsen once said that he never stopped unless everything was going good. So if he's in the middle of a very exciting action scene and the writing is flowing, and it's going really good, that's when he stops. Because the next day you're going to be excited to go back to that scene and finish it. And if you stop where none of the characters are making any sense, they won't do what you want them to do, they've all gone out and gone for pizza. Then the next morning, you're going to want to do anything else except sit down at that computer screen and start to work. Yes.\r\n\r\n- What, is there any programs that you use that are especially helpful when you're writing?\r\n\r\n- I just use Microsoft Word.\r\n\r\n- Just Microsoft Word?\r\n\r\n- Yeah, I started out with the Trash 80. I started out on a typewriter. God, that was awful. I mean, rewriting and rewriting, because then, you know if you wanted to change a sentence, you had to re-type the whole page or sometimes the entire chapter. I used to just get covered with white-out. It'd be spattered on my face and everything. Computers, God bless them. Yes. In the back.\r\n\r\n- Some of the new computers have where they recognize speech. Do you have any experience with this?\r\n\r\n- No. Now I know that there are people that talk books, you know, that writers that put, actually record the books on tape, and then there's some writers that even have secretaries who sit down and transcribe that. I can't do that because to me, the spoken word is much different than the written word. When you're reading something, you're hearing it differently in your head than when it's spoken. So I cannot speak, I could not speak my words into the computer. I have to physically write them and see them in order to say, \"This, yes, this is how I want this to be.\" So it's probably, you know, that's probably very old fashioned. 50 years from now everybody will be talking into their computers. Nobody will be writing. Just like Charles Dickens wrote all his stuff in longhand, you know. Well, I think we're about finished. I thank everybody for coming. I hope you come to the convention. We're going to be in the Dealer's room tomorrow if you've got any questions or you just want to sit around and chat, stop by. Thank you. Well, my voice held out.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1150/collection_resources/42736/file/115236#t=0.0,1309.344"}]}]}]}
