Must-have skills for a writer who wishes to be published

Many writers, including myself, despise anything but the creative process of story-telling while getting to indulge with all our literary fancies with the desire to be read by every living being. Writing a synopsis or a treatment just for a select group of individuals — mainly agents and suits seems less of a draw. With time of course this attitude changes quite swiftly. Now, after realizing the business more intimately I would share this with all my fellow-writers that the most critical document is the synopsis and the treatment. How effectively you write, edit and capture this piece will decide whether all your mammoth efforts in writing the novel or screenplay will ever see the light of day. Evolution is a process of accepting change. We have as a society developed into an industrial, global and fierce populace — survival is indeed a gift granted only to the one willing to adapt. “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin http://amplify.com/u/blwjk
