“Just try to shoot for the moon every day (but whatever you can do is still awesome).” – Jackson Dickert<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A year ago, Jackson was just a guy who wanted to write a story. A really BIG story. An epic fantasy in the footsteps of Brandon Sanderson.<\/p>\n

Frist, he started with great enthusiasm \u2026<\/p>\n

and then he got stuck – really stuck.<\/p>\n

Quickly, he realized he had no idea what he was doing.<\/p>\n

Lacking direction and a plan, Jackson considered giving up. As a last ditch effort, he consulted his creative writing professor, who suggested that he should simply write what he knows about.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do I know?” he thought, “I\u2019m just a guy in college. What could I possibly write about that people would enjoy reading and I would enjoy writing?\u201d<\/p>\n

Stumped, he pushed himself to think through the meaningful times of his life. Visions of running through the forest and setting up camps with friends flooded his mind.<\/p>\n

That was it! His time as an Eagle Scout. Earning badges and tying knots was both an experience that many other people could relate to, and it had truly shaped Jackson as a person.<\/p>\n

Now having locked onto a time full of memories, the story poured out of him.<\/p>\n

A noble and daring time, when he finished he named it\u2026<\/p>\n

style=”text-align: center;”>The Quest for the Golden Plunger<\/
\nJackson Dickert\u2019s adventure-laden promo photo shoot for his new book.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jackson faced what many writers face: lack of inspiration and experience. Yet despite what he lacked, his book debuted on Amazon on June 1 to rave reviews.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below he shares his top five writing tips to go from zero to writing hero\u2026<\/h2>\n

Tip #1 Hold yourself accountable<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To help motivate yourself to write, share your intentions on social media to write and what your writing goals are. This way you\u2019ll be held accountable by others for your progress (and they\u2019ll be asking!).<\/p>\n

Tip #2 Build the story and characters first<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To craft an unforgettable world, story and characters matter first. Mentally construct the nuances of your plot and characters, and be sure to create them together. Readers can tell when you’re trying to force characters into a world they don’t belong.<\/p>\n

Tip #3 Don\u2019t sweat the small stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s tagline is: \u201cWe\u2019ll fix that later in the next draft.\u201d More than any tiny detail, your story and main plot points matter. Don’t let your editing brain get in the way of your writing brain.<\/p>\n

Tip #4 Give everyone a secret<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re looking to build suspense, give each of your characters a secret. You don\u2019t need to share it with your readers, just give each character a secret so that you can understand their motivations and goals. This also gives depth to your characters and makes your story feel realistic to readers!<\/p>\n

Tip #5 Listen to the crowd<\/strong><\/p>\n

Feedback (almost always) helps make your story better. Having your book reviewed by various readers will ensure that your story is clear and interesting. Writing is a team sport.<\/p>\n
