Tirzah The Writer: A Recipe

Ingredients:
(1) MomEditor
(120) Writer's Digests Magazines
(40) Writing Books
(Countless) Great Novels
(5) Years of NaNoWriMo
(1) Heartless Inner Editor
(1) Premium Writing Buddy

Directions:
Sprinkle Tirzah with an endless trickle of MomEditor's writing magazines, favoring the editing sections. Intersperse with heavier works, such as By Cunning and Craft, Writing the Novel, Bird by Bird, and No Plot? No Problem!.

Marinate in a vast range of writings, especially fantasy. Include Prince of Foxes, Trickster's Choice, Lord of the Rings, Where the Red Fern Grows, MacBeth, Surviving the Applewhites, The Hunger Games, The Chronicles of Narnia, Sword of Truth, Artemis Fowl, and as many others as you can't possibly think of.
Allow the cream of these works to rise to the top of Tirzah's mind, forming an unreachable and tantilizing ideal.

Hopelessly mix Tirzah up in National Novel Writing Month, letting the fifty-thousand word frenzy propel her writing and speed-typing to new heights. For a tangy twist, double the word count goal on the fourth year.
At this point, the Tirzah should appear fully committed and excitable. A strong mixture may result in driven.

A writing buddy will be necessary to keep the mixture hot. Excessive interaction reccomended. Writing discipline should result naturally.

Apply Inner Editor (as cold and brutal as can be found fresh) to completed manuscript, along with heaping heaps of MomEditor. The fat will fall away in thick swathes. Rinse and repeat, driving Tirzah to ever higher standards of writing. Add A Dash of Style: Mastering the Art of Punctuation.

Add business-minded writing books such as The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published, and heaven only knows what will happen next.

Results may vary.
