"Writing Process of a Famous Author"


The famous author’s writing style that I am going to choose is Ted Dekker. He’s a famous author that has written more than twenty novels and is still going. He is mainly known for his stories such as suspense, thrillers and major twists and turns. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest authors I have ever read a novel from. He born into a missionary family in Indonesia, so he spent a lot of his child hood without his parents there because they were off working. That forced him to start using his imagination to entertain himself because he was so lonely and by himself. He left Indonesia and got a permanent residence in the United States.
When he grew up he went to college and got a bachelors degree in philosophy and religion. After that he entered the corporate business world selling businesses, healthcare, and marketing. Eventually he got tired of all of this and decided to pursue his dream of being a novel author and started on his first novel. Ted writes not only to entertain, but to discover and he writes in such a way that his readers may discover with him. He says “my motivation is – Everything I have written up to this point is crap and now I am about to write the real thing.” I think that is a pretty good motivational technique because if you motivate yourself that way, then your next writing will always be better than your last one and you get better and better each time. Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors and I will never forget some of the stories that I have read from him. These are just a few of his writing techniques and a little bit about him and how he grew up.
