A Novel Idea For Solving The Success Puzzle - by Donovan Baldwin: "As a writer writing for other writers, I have written a couple of articles on how writers can come up with ideas. As a writer who is also an internet marketer who has achieved some success online, I have written articles on, you guessed it...achieving success. In many of these articles, I tell the writers that ideas for their articles, short stories, novels, and poems are everywhere if they will only look and be prepared to see that ANYTHING might be the next bright idea. In other articles, I tell the internet marketers and network marketers that there is one major key to success. A little episode this morning brought the two together and prompted THIS article.

I love to work puzzles of all kinds, but I love crosswords and logic puzzles the best. This morning, I was starting a logic puzzle called 'A Novel Approach' by Sue M. Angel. In it, the five characters, all authors of novels, each talk about five different subjects, relating them to the writing of novels. Just for interest, the subjects are: Characters, Continuity, Credibility, Plot, and Setting. After reading the setup for the puzzle, I laid the magazine down because simply reading that had triggered a thought.

All of those items are important to success in terms of writing a novel. I have no doubt about this. If one is more important than the others...well, I believe you could generate a lot of discussion on that, and you would probably get a lot of differing opinions...even from successful novelists."
