Question

I have been writing for more than 50 years.I still consider myself to it, because I have written only one book. , I have written thousands of letters, more than a hundred e-books and millions of words on the Internet for hundreds of websites.

Though I don’t like foreign languages, I have also been and have learned seven of them. I was to study French, German and Latin for six years at school and Russian for four years at university, yet none of these was as as writing a book of excellent . And I am only talking about here, not plot, although that is obviously too.

Rules change in languages. The strict rules of the 19th century were largely over the following 100 years. However, some rules and that is how it should be too. Rules in writing are very important. And writing is a thing and it involves languages, plots, reader’s preferences, etc. So, who should writing and book competitions? And what rules should they ? Readers buy more books than writers and language experts put together. And writers write for readers, some of might be other writers or teachers. Similarly there has to be a storyline or plot that is of , but who should be the judge of that?

There is an author, John Locke, who sold a million books in five months, yet he was for his style and content by experts, surely he must have been doing something . Currently, most writing competitions are judged by writers and this seems to me. I suggest that if there are five judges, three should be readers, one should be a writer and one should be an English teacher.
