  • Don't Let Procratination Stop You - A few years ago procrastination was the name of the game when it came to finishing my latest book. While I am usually not a procrastinator, my new project had me frozen in my tracks for nearly a year. After trying every writer’s block tool under the sun, I still couldn’t shake the procrastination. I wasn’t sure what was causing me to put off my latest book project, but the more I thought about the book, the more I didn’t want to write it, edit it, or even interview for it. The worst part was that everything for completing the project was right in my head.
  • Blind Author Coaches Aspiring Authors - New authors may believe that if their book is published in New York, they will not need to do much more than have a website in order to market their book.
  • The Makings of a Personal Essay, Really - Sometimes I can be dense when it comes to realizing the potential of my own life experiences as essays for magazines. I, of course, fully believe that everything in my life is newsworthy, but sometimes have trouble figuring out which experiences will hit home with other people. I recently learned the secret, and it can be summarized in one word: Really? My friends know that I can talk. I mean, I can talk! Get me on the phone and I’m likely to tell you all about my day, from my breakfast to my editor’s latest comments to my insomnia.
  • Distinctiveness in Personal Statements - Byproduct or Goal? - "What makes you unique is not that you have had these life-altering experiences, but rather how and why your perspective has changed or been reinforced as a result of those and other everyday experiences. That is a story that only you can tell. If you concentrate your efforts on telling us who you are, differentiation will occur naturally; if your goal is to appear unique, you may achieve the opposite effect." So wrote Derek Bolton, Assistant Dean and Director of Stanford GSB Admissions, in his most recent and excellent monthly column, "The Director’s Corner," for Stanford’s MBA Admissions Newsletter.
  • Savage Nature: The Life of Ted Hughes - One of the most important poets of the post-war period, Edward James Hughes (1930-1998), was drawn towards the primitive. He was enchanted by the beauty of the natural world, frequently portraying its cruel and savage temperament in his work as a reflection of his own personal suffering and mystical beliefs - convinced that modern man had lost touch with the primordial side of his nature. Born in Mytholmroyd, a remote mill town in West Yorkshire, Ted (as he was known to his friends and family) was enormously affected by the desolate moorland landscape of his childhood, and also by his father's vivid recollections of the brutality of trench warfare. Indeed, his father, who was then a carpenter, was one of only seventeen men from his regiment to have survived at Gallipoli during the First World War.
  • Quick Strategies For Writing Your Essay Under Pressure - Hidden pitfalls are on watch for your paper success in every paragraph of the essay you write. They are notorious misprints, insidious misspellings and numerous stylistic, syntax and format errors. Indeed they are your restless essay writing enemies, which are always on the alert, putting obstacles on your way to excellent grades for your writing assignments. The drastic truth is that even slight mistakes make you freak out and lose the train of your thoughts. They evoke a fear of losing the main thread, give rise to uncertainty in your strengths and potential, dissipate your motivation to write and give the way to other distractions.
  • SEO Article Writing 101 - SEO writing is very different from content writing, article writing, story writing and news writing.
  • Unusual Points of View - Most writers are familiar with first and third points of view and their variations. But have you ever experimented with alternative points of view? Below are some less used points of view, what I call “unusual points of view.” Try using these when you’re blocked or you want to try something new. Second Person Point of View Second person can be written as “you” singular or plural. Josip Novakovich in FICTION WRITER’S WORKSHOP says: “The author makes believe he’s talking to someone, describing what the person addressed is doing. But the ‘you’ is not the reader; though sometimes it’s hard to get rid of the impression the author is addressing you directly.” Here’s an excerpt from Italo Calvino’s first chapter of If on a winter night a traveler. I think it’s one of the most engaging examples of second person point of view.
  • The Writing Club - Typically when falling asleep in bed at night great thoughts enter the mind, long stringed and meaningful sentences trip over each other to receive attention at the front of the brain alongside all the brilliant findings, results, meanings that speak...
  • Don't Miss These 10 Must Know Facts About Promoting Your Website with Article Writing - Most all ezine publishers need fresh content.

  • From Book Notes to Book Reports - Writing papers and book reports has long been the bane of high school and college students’ existence. It seems that no matter how hard you work to stay caught up, there is always a paper due tomorrow.
  • Write Strategy - Think, Believe, Attack - Think of writing like karate... it's about DISCIPLINE. Writing, like other forms of art, work or talent, requires discipline. It won't ever be enough that you say to yourself that you are a writer. Only when you write and write with discipline can you call yourself one. Before you can earn a black belt in karate, you have to dedicate yourself, practice and instill discipline in yourself to learn the moves and techniques. The same goes for writing. Don't just read books. Devour them. Ray Bradbury, author of Zen in the Art of Writing, suggests books of essays, poetry, short stories, novels and even comic strips.
  • Six Tips for Submitting Fiction - You can learn a lot about what it takes to place a story in an ezine by starting up one of your own. Last month we started work on a new ezine for writers, which we intended to use to publish high-quality, contemporary fiction, from writers all over the world.
  • 5 Reasons Why Headlines Are The Single Most Important Part Of All - Are you maximizing your marketing results by using headlines at every opportunity? Without a powerful headline, your message stands little chance in an increasingly competitive marketplace. If your headline doesn’t capture attention and pull prospects inside, the rest of your marketing effort is meaningless. Nothing is more important to getting your message noticed than your headlines. If you’re not allocating a sizable percentage of your time and creative effort to your headlines, you could be losing out on a large chunk of business.

  • Notes on Writing from Writers of Note - When I am introduced at social gatherings, the host or hostess usually says: "Hi, I want you to meet Philip Yaffe. He is a professional writer." I almost always get the same response: "Oh, really. What type of novels do you write?" In other words, people automatically associate the term "writer" with "literature"; as if fiction were the only type of writing. It isn't.
  • It Takes Time for a Book to Get into Print - According to David Hancock, CEO of Morgan James Publishing, it takes the average person 100 formal book proposal submissions only to get a publisher to say ‘no’. Many submissions go unanswered, and many publishers disallow simultaneous submissions. This typically increases the time it takes for a book to get into print. Although acceptance with a major New York publisher normally takes dozens of rejections, for internet marketer and affiliation expert Ken McArthur, it happened quickly. His proposal got him the coveted “yes” after only a handful of submissions. When Career Press accepted the proposal for his debut book, he was faced with the challenge of actually writing the book to meet a deadline less than four months away. His book, already available on Amazon.com and Target.com, is part of the publisher’s spring 2008 catalog of releases.

  • Interviewing an Author: Don't Be Left Speechless - Joyce Carol Oates. Langston Hughes. Anne Sexton. F. Scott Fitzgerald. Nikki Giovanni. The names of authors (dead and alive) can go on and on. But I’ll let you have first pick! You are in a room with some of your favorite authors. About ten of them. However, you are only allowed to invite one of them to Starbucks for a couple of chocolate mochas. Just you and your favorite author. It doesn’t matter if the writer is deceased - use your imagination! After all, you’re a writer, right? Oh dear, who shall it be?
