Meet the Author
Hi, I thought I’d introduce myself this first
issue of Viv’s Views. Sometimes my view of the
world and of writing is in line with others’
views; sometimes it isn’t. But my views are
always uniquely mine.
After teaching for twenty-seven years, I find
that I can’t keep the teacher’s hat off my head.
I’ll be adding writing tips in the newsletter each
month.
I write under the name of Vivian Gilbert Zabel
for novels, stories, poetry, and articles aimed at
an adult audience. I use V. Gilbert Zabel for
juvenile books, and Granny Zabel for children’s
books. Thought I’d tell you so you won’t be
confused when you see all those names. I’m
still just me, Vivian Zabel – wife, mother,
grandmother, and great-grandmother – loving
life and writing about it.
Writing Tip
The first thing to do if you want to write is to be sure you
know the basics of writing: good grammar, spelling, verb
tenses, and all those things many people never learned
in school and thought were boring. Good writing basics
is the foundation for good writing.
If you need reminders or help, visit your local bookstore
and get a book such as Woe is I: The Grammarphones’
Guide to Better English in Plain English by Patricia T.
O'Connor.
