The Power of the Pen - Every leader, supervisor, coach, team member and parent has been told of the value of giving positive feedback. We've heard reasons why. We've heard we don't do it enough. We've learned all of the basics about giving positive feedback successfully: make it timely, make it specific, and when giving positive feedback consider sharing it publicly. All of this is good advice, but it falls short of the mark if we want to make a long term lasting difference in the self-image, confidence, and performance of others. In short, if you want to give positive feedback, consider doing more than telling people how you feel, consider writing it down. Why Write it Down Here are three reasons why written feedback is so valuable. 1. Seven Secrets Of Highly Creative Writers - The LifewritingÃ¢â€žÂ¢ approach to your writing career demands a relatively high creative output. It isn't designed to coddle people who nurse a single story for years before sending it out. But students often protest that they simply don't come up with many good ideas, and that the ideas they do generate are appropriate for novels. In my opinion, basic ideas have no intrinsic length. The TREATMENT of an idea has an intrinsic length. Your Literary Agent - How To Get One Fast! - There are a few ways to find and get an agent quickly for your book. In this report I'll deal with the most popular. To begin with, your book doesn't need to be complete. You could have written only a couple of chapters and have a complete outline of your book and that will do nicely. In fact, agents and publishers almost always take on books before they are completed. They need a couple of chapters to see that you can actually write and they need the entire outline to know what the book will be about. And, to be even more specific, the two chapters don't have to be the first two of the book. They can be completely random. Again, their purpose is to show the agent or the publisher that you can actually write. Write Website Copy That Sells - Try a Little Flesh with Your Flash - Your website looks great: solid words, easy navigation, graphics just so, and maybe even a bit of flash with some multimedia. But customers are not buying. You wonder if it's the writing. How can that be? You remembered the two key mantras for website content - "write for the search engines" and "write for the medium." You used appropriate keywords to help search engines find you and traffic is up. Surely, customers enjoy reading your content because you laid it out with the internet in mind using short sentences, brief paragraphs, and bullets to list your key points. Customers might be reading, but they still are not buying. Chances are your site copy has been optimized for technology not people. Article Writing Tips From Spongebob Squarepants - Wisdom can be found in the most unexpected places. Today, wisdom bubbled up from a pineapple under the sea. I suddenly realized that everything you'd want to know about writing articles for your website can be taught by SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends. When you write for your newsletter, blog, or website, which character are you most like? Squidward: Squidward is B-O-R-I-N-G. When writing articles, are you a Squidward? Presentation Design - Why Is - Your job as a presentation designer is to make ideas into visual images. Four Useful Lies About Writing - Most writing "experts" favor a particular way of looking at plot, and will adhere to it for years or an entire career. That's all well and good, but its important to realize that any way of modeling story is just that-a model, not the depths and living essence of story itself. Problems arise when young (or experienced!) writers mistake a simplified structure for some deep and eternal truth. It's much better to examine several structures, see what their strengths and weaknesses are, and try to glimpse the truth they are trying to convey. The Golden Hour - During a conversation earlier today, a formerly svelt young lady said that she had given up on the idea of exercise, because to have a body worth the trouble, it would take three or four hours a day. Novice writers complain that in order to build their careers, it would take six or seven hours a day... so what is the point! And more times than I could count, stressed-out acquaintances have said that they would love to meditate, but "don't have the time. Jog For Your Health, Write For Your Wealth - The author gives a candid description of how he started his writing venture since his early age which eventually led him to write about Internet online marketing business. He explains in simple English the importance and power of article writing in this new business venture and how he has done it and how it has helped built his Internet business. If your doctor advised you to run, jog or walk for the sake of your health, I'd advise you to write for the sake of your wealth from Internet business! Profit From Effective Public Speaking - Developing and utilizing presentation skills can result in increased income for you. Here are a few ways that you can turn your public speaking experience into business profits. 1. Free Speeches to Promote Your Business A lawyer might make a speech to a group of business persons, free of charge, about the advantages of incorporating their businesses. This could result in obtaining new clients. It could also cause existing clients to purchase additional services, such as incorporations, minute book work, income tax election filings, and so on. 2. Paid Seminars, Workshops and Teleclasses You could charge admission fees to attend a seminar entitled "How To Incorporate Yourself Without a Lawyer". This seminar could detail the considerations and mechanics of incorporating your own private corporation. 3. How To Be Rejected By The Article Directories - Article writing is one of the best ways to increase your traffic and get more sales. You've heard it a million times so you decide to finally just do it. You write an article and submit it to the article directories, eagerly anticipating the flow of traffic. Instead you receive the dreaded rejection letter. Writing Twenty Novels (In Ten Easy Steps!) - During a recent telephone conversation, I mentioned having sent off the last revisions for my twentieth novel, "Great Sky Woman." There was a silence on the other side of the phone, followed by the question "How in the world do you do that? Twenty novels!" The truth is that I know many writers who have written far more than twenty novels. It is not that unusual. In fact, if you are a working writer, the "perfect" output is very close to a book a year. Six Steps To Becoming A Powerful Public Speaker - Public speaking ranks right up there in terms of the things we are afraid to do. Whether it's the fear of being watched closely by others, or the insecurity and self-conscious feeling of slipping up during the presentation, these six tips will help you give a polished, professional speech that you (and your audience) can be proud of! 1. Know your audience. This is the single best piece of advice for delivering a presentation. What are there interests? Their backgrounds? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Top Secret! The One-Year Path To Publication - There is a way to virtually guarantee your publication within a single year. No, it has nothing to do with self-publication. This path is not for dilettantes, and will push you to the limit, but it has worked for dozens of my students, and it will work for you. It is based on writing principles first proposed by two giants in the publishing field, science-fiction writers Ray Bradbury, and Robert Heinlein, over thirty years ago. And no, you don't have to be a science fiction writer. No matter what your ULTIMATE goal-novel, screenplay, playwright, or poet, you can adapt this method. The Billionaire Writer's Secret - During a career spanning twenty-five years of novel, film, and television work, I've two major tools most valuable: the yogic "chakras" for characterization, and Joseph Campbell's model of the Hero's Journey for plot structure. These are not random choices, nor were they selected because of the many intelligent and thoughtful essays on their relationship to successful film or world myth. Rather, they are important because they create a connection between the inner world of the writer, and the external world of the finished work-and the reader. Turn Writer's Blocks Into Stepping Stones! - Years ago at a presentation at the UCLA Extension Writer's Program, I promised an audience to teach them to conquer this beast once and for all. Later, another instructor approached me and said "why did you say that to those people? It's not possible." Poor woman. All she was saying is that SHE cannot break writer's block, which told me all I need to know about her career. In all likelihood a promising beginning, perhaps an award-winning poem or book... and then pain. It is not only possible to end writer's block forever, but you can actually use it to your advantage! First, let us define it in some useful way: Writer's block is the inability to 1) Produce new text. Freelance Writing: A Career From Anywhere - An island in the Mediterranean. A beach in Africa.

Effective Networking For Writers - 'Tis the season for conferences and seminars! Many of my friends have all been conference-hopping in recent weeks and we've been discussing how fruitful these gatherings can be when you can make great and lasting contacts. But how do you come away with something more substantial than a stack of business cards? Here are a few tips to keep in mind. 1.) Speak Up! The Magic of Telling "Isolation is a dream killer," says life coach Barbara Sher. One of the women in my mastermind group reminded me of that today. She recently attended an event where, for the first time, she came out of her shell and started telling people what she did. Letters to the Editor: Having Your Say - Writing a letter to your newspaper's editor is a privilege that Americans have exercised since the early days of journalism. You need not be an expert about the topic at hand, but by adding your voice to the discussion you can help shape people's opinions positively and constructively. Here are some tips to help you get your letter published: 1. Keep it short and sweet. Most newspapers and ezines put limitations on the number of words you can write. Generally, 200 words or less is common although some newspapers allow for up to 300 words. If you find these limitations to be too confining, consider offering your thoughts to the editor via an "op-ed" piece. 2. Keep it "libel-free." You can criticize someone personally, but you may not libel them. What Bruce Springsteen Taught Me About Writing - This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Bruce Springsteen's groundbreaking album Born to Run. Columbia Records is celebrating by re-releasing the disc with lots of audio and video goodies including interview material of Bruce discussing the writing of this seminal work. I'm a fan, so you can imagine I've been gobbling up this stuff like Thanksgiving came early! What's hitting home for me is hearing about how Springsteen's back was really up against the wall while he was creating this album. His record label was considering dropping him so he knew he had to make something happen. When people ask me "how do I know if my work is good enough?
