works, thus leaving your readers satisfied and your characters with corns an bunions.  Bits of business often interest Hollywood and hence they will buy your story for the movies.  Give your heroine some kind of handle (if you've buried the hatchet, use the hatchet handle) like 'Smerp Girl'or 'Girl We'd Like to Ride with Rockets!  or just plain "Girl We'd Like To'.  The latter fits almost any blob of pulchritude in Hollywood and your story is a cinch to be purchased by some studio.  If you can think of no handle for your heroine, make your superman a casting director for Comet Films.  Some casting director will sign you to  a contract out of sheer gratitude and you'll make more money that way anywho.
Always remember this--"If your story lacks that certain dizziness, just put in some bits of bizziness".

CONVERSATION

Always sprinkle your stories generously with conversation.  Don't make a mistake and use water or your story will be all wet.  When you characters are conversing they must sound au naturel.  If you find it hard to get into the mood to write conversation thusly, make the locale of your story a nudist colony.  (Note:  This will help the artist too, as he won;t have to draw that gossamer hunk of stuff).  Always make your conversation sound slightly insane.  In other words, put yourself into your characters' mouth.  If you can do this you will have something greater than the 'camel through a needle's eye'and you will be hailed as the Eighth Wonder of the World.  You'll probably make more money this way then by writing stories anywho.  Always remember this: "If you want to give your readers elation, sprinkle your story with conversation".

SUBTLETY

When writing a story, muster all your artifice.  If you don't know how to muster your artifice you are too young to write a story and had better wait a few years.  Always remember this: "Wily authors are smily authors, for authors who are shrewd and smart will have oodles of sheckles from the start".

THE NARRATIVE HOOK
This bit of chicanery will not catch fish but you'll invariably catch your readers interest.  If he has a lot of stocks and bonds the interest should be quite pecuniary and you should soon be rolling in meme meme tekel.  the narrative hook is the trick of starting your story with conversation.  Always start your story with a conversation that is effervescent.  For example: "My, what a love-scotch?".  This will do one of two things. it will either make the reader think of the night before, in which case he will hate you and your story, or ti will make him thirsty and he will imbibe to the extent of intoxication whereupon he will have that 'night before' feeling the next morning, again causing him to hate you and your story.  Always remember this: "If you desire for your story a second look, remember to use the narrative hook". ((Cont'd next issue))
