On a 2014 holiday in Malta I saw many things that could help me with my
writing. I will be sharing one each week. Sorry I missed a week, I was struck down by a virus. Here is point 3 I learned:
Be creative
Although the buildings are the same colours, and all have flat roofs, every
building is different. Some architectural details, especially in the balconies,
make each building unique in its area.
Don’t use the same old plots. There are only supposed to be a small number of
unique plots, but the books that succeed are creative and find a new twist.
Adapt a plot from a different genre, do something unexpected. That way your
story will stand out from the crowd.
