The Joy Of Reading

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I have always enjoyed reading.  There is so much to choose from out of the topics that I commonly want to add more to my knowledge base about. I really like the diversity of the approach to the information and frequently find that I can improve my use of the topic information by adding sometimes just one idea presented by the author I am currently reading.

Everyone has a way of approaching knowledge and if you have wanted to share but were concerned that the topic you want to write about already has everything about it covered you need to reconsider. 

Because there are different learning styles the topic needs to be presented in different ways to have the information available to those different learning styles.  Understand  and learn more about learning styles.

Write about it in the way that you learn best and the readers that learn in the same way you do will find your information, be grateful you took time to share and will want to return for more of your future work.

People are continually searching for authors that are able to write in such a way that they GET the information.  It is such a satisfying experience when you can connect with a topic, understand where the author is coming from and can apply the information to better your life.

Number One Writing Tip-Learn To Write When You Are Excited!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

How cool is this to get such a nice compliment on my article

The best writing advice ever told is writing about what you know. Yes, the best advice is writing what you are passionate about, you know, what really excites you.

I hate to write when I am bored. I know or suspect the reader would feel the same. That is why the reader will never see such writing, at least from me. It is best to write when you are excited as the article below describes so beautifully.

Writing When You Are Excited
Author: Designer Marjorie J McDonald

I am over the top excited about some things that are going on in my life and remembered the feeling and how easy it was in the past to write when I was experiencing this feeling. I felt like I just had to share what was happening with the people in my life who could get excited with me.

Try thinking back and see if you can tap into a time when you were experiencing this same type of excitement energy and use it to write a story about an event or happening. It can add so much to the story and help your reader experience the same thing as if they were with you at the same time it was happening to you. The connection to the reader gets better as well as stronger when you can help them experience this same kind of energy. It is fun to be excited and it is fun to be around excited people or attending exciting events.
See what part of the event stands out, what part of the events are more of a blur and those parts of the event that happened but you do not remember them at all. Capture the same feeling for a character you are writing about in a fiction story.
Put in the same things you remember that your character can experience. It adds so much to your story line when that excitement can be shared through writing about it and then, as an extra bonus, including how you felt about it from an observer point of view.
By engaging your reader at this level it also increases your satisfaction when you get the feedback that the reader was able to connect and feel the same way you did when you were writing the story. An amazing feeling of how words can be powerful in the connection and sharing process.

Writing News Flash

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Everyone thinks that their problems are unique. They take them in, internalize them and fester on them. They must be unique because if they weren’t they could just find out what someone else did to fix it and do that.

As we grow up we are programmed not to talk about our problems and hence the same situations/challenges (that all human beings face) become personal.

Remember I keep telling you to write out what you did to solve the problem you faced and be willing to share the steps and results with others so they could get to the solution more quickly.

It’s just that you think you are the only one going through problem xyz, that no one else would want to know what you did and you might be embarrassed if they found out you had that problem. 

Even through we all feel that our problems are unique to us, they are in fact a problem that everyone faces at some time in their life. If you can solve your problem and move yourself closer to your goal, then you have created a solution to a problem that millions of others also have and will gladly pay money to read, learn about  or give their attention to.

Ex: Have you ever had the experience of telling someone something and when they explained your problem back to you, you were excited because this person truly understood what you were experiencing and feeling?

They are really willing to listen to you then when they feel like you understand them.  They will become one of your readers because you are helping them with an answer.

News Flash:  Stop thinking you are the only one going through situations in your life and focus on looking for and sharing with others your steps on solving those issues we all face.

Write and share and enjoy the profits you will make by being willing to do that.

Get Your Holidays Writing Ready

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

In your family, you have a collection of stories about your history and about the things that were important to you through the years.  This is a great time to begin to collect those stories as you are spending time together during the holiday season.  Gather, edit and put into a collection of your family experiences.

Then you can give your story collection to the different members of your family as gifts.  Each person has a different opinion about the events that happened so be sure to add each perspective. That will give your stories depth and add to the story line.  Have fun, enjoy your events and make lots of memories. It is easy to do when you are recording what is happening as it happens.

Writing About Your Approach To A Topic

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Everyone has a different way to write based on personal experience and topic preference.  That is why you see so many subjects that have books written about them from a variety of authors.  It is important to be true to your writing skills and cover the topic from your experience and expertise.  Your reader that can connect with you might only be able to hear or understand your approach to the topic.  The value you can contribute has the potential to be huge so be sure you allow yourself to write and get your work out into the world.

If you are finding that you are getting stopped, you might be experiencing writers block.  You can get help so you can break through and find the confidence to move forward.

Stretch Yourself as a Creative Writer

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Being a good writer means that you can take just a few stories and turn them into many stories just by changing the way you write about the subject matter.  What you add or subtract from the content you have in front of you to give it a new twist. 

Change a story you have already written and see if you can add drama to the story you have or perhaps you can turn it into a comedy or a play that a local theater group might consider adding to their offerings.

It’s all about the combination of the events that happened and how you as the writer put them together in your story line and time line of events.  For example: If you have ever gone to an airport for a flight and found you took longer to go through the security than you expected and then had to run to get to the gate so you did not miss the boarding for the flight.  You have two choices immediately: do you want to go the drama version or the comedy version.  You could try both and see which one you have the most fun with and use that to help you continue to develop that type of writing.

It’s all in the approach you take with the topic.  This type of writing stretches you to think about how to put the information and events into your story in such a way as to get the two different results.  You can always use the twists to develop your writing resources so you can see things from several perspectives.
