THINK lots of little to CREATE BIG!
These two links can get you a lot of information on writing. Whilst I was scanning my docuements this morning, I found that I have a book yet unread, on freelance writing. It was by Yvonne Perry. She’s a pro. I did not have time to rea it then, and she doesn’t want others to copy exerpts, and so I send you to her link.

Freelance writing comes in many forms, some of which we often, myself included, forget. I will use recipes as an example. You can and have my permission to use recipes that I use in my blog: http://www.coachingcooking.com in some of the following suggestions. Please give my blog, and me credit.

You pobably have a slew of recipes of your own.
1) Many recipes provide the major content of articles. Look at some of your fav magazines. The New Mexico magazine often has a story woven by some local (usually well known writer) from the southwest and then the recipes or three recipes.
2) You can create similar articles for publishing online.
3) You can write regional magazines to see if they’d be interested,
4) You can contact local newspapers while they last,
5) You can start your own newsletter w/your recipes

After awhile you may go to local non-profits with a short simple book of your recipes.
You can create a calendar with recipes.
Once you get started, you may find 30 ways to build multiple ways to earn money from your recipes. Before you know it you’ll have a book on www.lulu.com, a blog, and maybe even a site. Imagination may get you on youtube, and if you can create extra income to beat the raises you may not be getting, then you have struck paydirt! All on recipes. Hmmm….maybe I can get over to www.squidoo.com and work on some new pages!

So get your mind ticking.

Now if recipes is not your thing, think of hobbies, interests, and activities you do love: hiking,walking,running,exercise,photography.

Writing tips: Review 101 (Would you pass this…)

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

Write,write,write, and leave me a comment,please.

Here are some basic ideas about writing, which sometimes can be a great review. There are so many, it will take 2 blogs.

http://www.homepages.dsu.edu/JANKEJ/writing/tips.htm

The shorter the story, the more important each word becomes.
Descriptions and technical details must be authentic; when the reader suddenly realizes that the writer made a mistake, the reader is jarred out his or her temporary acceptance of the story as reality, i.e., author intrusion.
Avoid overused words.
Success breeds success. The more published you are, the easier it is to get published again.
Every word can be used appropriately somewhere in some story.
Don’t tell what happened; recreate what happened.
The beginning of a story must be interesting. Readers can be lost on page one.
Scorning the work of a writer does not make that writer a better writer.
A Final Observation
Whatever rules or tips you read about writing you will be able to find some published work that violates them. Sometimes the violation is glaring and amounts to author intrusion. Other times the violation may actually help the story. Usually the latter occurs when the writer actually is an excellent wordsmith and deliberately, with great specific purpose, violates some rule or tip.

MARCH FEATURED SCRIPT
Script: Harare, Harare
Writer: June Carryl
Date: 3/21/09

SYNOPSIS
As a child Citizen Moyo witnessed a massacre no one talks about. Now grown, an established if not well paid actor with a wife and child of his own, Citizen drives a cab to support what’s left of his family. His beloved country falling apart amid arrests, food shortages and rampant corruption, Citizen tries like everyone else just to get by, keep his head down, and his ghosts at bay. Then a trip to Scotland earns him the unwelcome attention of a state TV producer and Zimbabwe’s feared Central Intelligence Organization. When raids, arrests, and visits from the Minister of Culture fail to deter his friend and mentor from mounting a political play, Citizen finds himself in the clutches of the same government that tried to kill him 20 years before. Tortured and brutalized, he is offered his freedom in exchange for naming his friend as a terrorist. Citizen’s choice brings him face-to-face with the ghosts of his past and the myths and truths about his desperately troubled homeland.

Based on real people and events documented for the first time only in 1997, HARARE, HARARE is about an ongoing nearly unknown atrocity still taking place in Zimbabwe. HARARE, HARARE is about the human cost of violence and what it means to survive.

Mystery writers give a few secrets…

the field told me so...photo by Mary MacIntyre

the field told me so...photo by Mary MacIntyre

Perhaps I shouldn’t show the videos first. However, the interviews will say it better than me. True confession: these folks know a lot more about mystery writing than I ever will. In fact I bet that there are authors reading this who have already published their mysteries.

I have friends who devour mysteries. Though these are not my favorite genre, I have grown to enjoy a few authors. Tony Hillerman is one great legend. For me, the story and culture capture my attention. One friend prefers the blood guts and…murder. I rather examine the craft.

IF you haven’t completed your book yet, better get going. This is one of the best ways to get published and earn an income. Mysteries provide a great diversion from….

Now I ask you, what are your favorite tips for publishing. SOmeday, you will send in your secrets. In the meantime: google to the rescue!

“Through years of following the solid publicity advice and contacts in Bill’s Free Publicity, I’ve gotten press on my travel books in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Men’s Health, Forbes, Newsweek, MSN Money, and a variety of major market newspapers. Some of these publicity features are still sending people to my related websites — months or years after the story first appeared in print. With all the great publicity I’m getting, business is booming!”

“With the help of Bill’s publicity ideas & public relations lessons, I was able to get national attention for my high end pen business. His PR advice centered on realistic public relations expectations, writing media savvy press releases, and teaching the correct way to approach the media. I could have paid a public relations firm $3,000-$5,000 a month to publicize my store, but Bill taught me how to get my own publicity.”

Published since 1999 for The Science of Getting Rich NETwork

by Rebecca Fine
http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net

=================================================================

FEATURE ARTICLE: ‘WE’VE GOT TO SAVE THEM!’
A powerful life lesson from … monkeys

“My friends and family just don’t get it.

“I’ve told them how wonderful and powerful
The Science of Getting Rich (SOGR) is but
they’re either not interested or they think
it’s crazy and I’ve lost my mind. And most
of them haven’t even read it.

“But I’m already seeing how true and amazing
it is. How can I get them to understand and
take it seriously?”

That question — or some variation of it (usually involving a
husband, wife, or “significant other” who simply is NOT
interested in SOGR and therefore not “supportive”) — is just
about THE most frequent one that pops up on the SOGR NETwork
Discussion Forum and in the SOGR for Practical GeniusesTM Online
Course.

Of course when any of us discovers something that brings welcome
change — sometimes a BIG change and sometimes breathtakingly
FAST — it’s only natural to want to share that “something” with
the people we care about most.

But when they aren’t interested, even adamantly so, and prefer to
stick to their own points of view, we sometimes feel a little
discouraged.

After all, they NEED it!

Well, maybe. But as Wallace Wattles tells us throughout his nifty
little book, what we REALLY need to do if we expect others to
allow us the freedom of our own new way of thinking and believing
is to allow THEM the very same.

Let me share with you now a lovely little folk tale from the
country of Tanzania.*

Enjoy the wisdom of this insightful story and then I’ll be back
with words from Wallace Wattles himself …

=====

Rains heavier than anyone could remember continued for weeks that
year, and soon rivers were overflowing their banks, flooding was
rampant, and animals of every kind were fleeing for the safety of
the hills.

But the waters ran so fast and strong that many of the beasts
were caught up in the currents and drowned.

Except, that is, for the monkeys, who were quick and agile enough
to leap up into the trees and avoid the powerfully rushing
waters.

From their vantage point above the river, the monkeys stared
wide-eyed at the turmoil below and soon noticed fish everywhere
– darting to and fro, leaping, sometimes almost seeming even to
fly over the water.

Seeing this, one monkey called out to the others: “Those poor
unfortunates! They haven’t been as blessed and lucky as we are to
be saved from the flood. They have no legs to get away and surely
they are doomed unless we help them. It’s our DUTY to save them.”

The other monkeys agreed: “Yes, since we have been so fortunate
we now must rescue the others. See how they struggle to flee the
water! Let’s go down to the river’s edge and pull them out of
their terrible predicament.”

And so they did. No matter how the fish flipped and flapped, the
monkeys bravely and tenaciously kept on pulling them from the
water and laying them tenderly on the grass to rest.

Before too long, one monkey noticed the hundreds of fish lying
quietly all around and with a feeling of satisfaction and perhaps
even a bit of pride he whispered to his companions, “Look how
well we have done. They are exhausted from their ordeal. But if
we had not come along and known just what to do, so many of these
poor legless ones would have drowned.”

“Yes,” replied another of the monkeys. “They even tried to resist
us and get away because they simply couldn’t see that we only
wanted to help and were acting in their best interests. But just
wait until they wake up! Then they’ll be so grateful that we were
here to save them.”

=====

Ah, that puts it in a whole new light, doesn’t it? ;-D

Our friend Wally tells us:

“You have no right to use your will power upon
another person, even ‘for his own good,’ for
you do not know what is for his good.

If you are new to the study or practice of SOGR, the best course
of action is simply this:

Keep it to yourself for now.

(If we simply offer the book to someone, that’s a gift. But if we
try to force it on anyone, the gift is lost.)

No need to convert, convince or even DISCUSS it with others who
are not, right now, on the same path as the one you are choosing.
If you need to talk it over with people who WILL support and
encourage you, the SOGR NETwork Discussion Forum is a great place
to do that.

See, you have planted a seed, and now as you tend its growth by
giving your attention to your OWN thoughts and choices, you will
not be inviting others who make different choices to come in and
trample the tender shoots as they reach upward toward the light.

You also are not focusing on LACK — and that’s a VERY good thing
because when you turn your thoughts to the lack of anything you
desire or consider good, whether it’s in your own experience or
ANYONE ELSE’S, you are giving power to lack and drawing it to
YOU.

Defeating your own purposes, as Wally says.

You, my friend, had your own perfect timing in coming to this new
knowledge and you have your own perfect timing in learning to
PRACTICE these principles — and experiencing the wonderful
results! So does your spouse or partner, your best friend, your
mom, your co-worker, your next-door neighbor …

If they’re not interested, here’s my best suggestion:

Just love ‘em — and change the subject.

If they try to tell you that you’ve gone nuts, just smile and
agree: “You know, you could be right!”

It’s a lot harder for someone to argue with you when you offer no
resistance and don’t need to insist on being “right.” :-D

And, really, it’s only our small ego-selves
that feel that need to be “right” anyway.
(Talk about “competitive mind” — it pops up
EVERYWHERE, doesn’t it?)

So let THEM be “right” while you just quietly go about your own
life-transforming, joyful, prosperous process. It truly costs you
nothing and it can bring you everything!

“[T]he very best thing to do is to show the
right way in your own person and practice. An
ounce of doing is worth a pound of theorizing.

“The very best thing you can do for the whole
world is to make the most of YOURSELF …”

Lynn Jericho back blogging…inspiration

Sunday, March 8th, 2009
Some things are always clear...

Some things are always clear...

The following refects both the power of blogging, and journaling. To get the full picture go visit the link for video and other links. Lynn Jericho provides many avenues for self growth and reflection.
http://www.liveinfullbloom.blogspot.com/
Just yesterday, I attended an inspired and inspiring workshop. I woke up this morning flooding with insights for my Inner Lent programs tonight and tomorrow. I was also inspired to share my thoughts on inspiration.

Questions that don’t have definitive answers and place me in the blessed state of wonder, fill me inspiration. They set me free from all the givens, prejudices and conventions.

Resistance from anything that says “no, not this way!”

The stillness in my heart- in those rare moments of inner silence when I let myself feel the tranquility, inspiration appears like a whispered “Hush!” asking for deeper quiet.

The fire in my dreams - in those rare moments of courage when I can be alone in the fierce heat of my destiny, I find inspiration.

In the depths of my suffering, when all the lights go out, all boundaries disappear and I find myself falling into the abyss of nothingness, inspiration rises up as a light or a warmth that floats me back to myself.

Inspiration is not a sentimental feeling that generates more sentiment, it is a spiritual feeling that enthuses our thoughts and our deeds. It does not appear as merely awe, but awakens true devotion.

Witnessing inspiration in others inspires hope that I, too, may be inspired and inspire others. In fact, if I am not inspiring others, I have not been inspired. The inspired always inspire. Pass it on.

And remember… inspiration is never familiar or safe.

Podcast: Interview with Shayn Cutino, The Anja Technique, the Art of Self Love

Friday, March 6th, 2009
Before the storm  Photo By Mary MacIntyre

Before the storm Photo By Mary MacIntyre

Hi readers. I just got this email this morning, and thought it might be something you would enjoy. As you may realize, marketing one’s book can be a daunting task. Also for us the reader, finding new books may also be an immense project as thee are so many! The internet alllows all of us extended resources to both promote and find new authors. Interviews always create a more personal introduction to an author’s view. I hope you enjoy the talk. Please leave comments to let me know. Do you have an interview you’d like me to share? Let me know. Enjoy and write!

TGIF and I have uploaded another great interview to Writers in the Sky Podcast! Join us today as I interview new author Shayn Cutino.


Isn’t it about time we started loving ourselves? How can we give love to others, if we do not recognize ourselves as being worthy of love? How can we give anything of ourselves if we feel empty inside?

Shayn Cutino has written a book, The Anja Technique, The Art of Self Love that will teach you how to love yourself.

Click here to listen to Shayn’s interview…

Shayn Cutino is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a member of the American Association of Professional Hypnotherapist, the International Hypnosis Research Institute and the International Hypnosis Federation. In order to fulfill her passion to care about the “whole” person, she sought further accreditation and earned her certification with honors as a Holistic Health Practitioner from GCNM.

In working with people in a therapeutic capacity, it became apparent to Shayn that the missing connection between each person and a productive life was the relationship they had with themselves. The Anja Technique was developed by Shayn to teach individuals how to really love and appreciate themselves. Throughout the book, individuals will discover that love is the greatest energy in the universe and it is crucial to personal success. This powerful and comprehensive 5-step process allows individuals to release blocks and obstacles that no longer serve them and to transform their lives into one of self acceptance and love. Shayn loves in Northern California with her husband and children, where she maintains her private practice.

Book Synopsis: The Anja Technique takes you on a spiritual journey to reawaken the love within yourself. This comprehensive and powerful 5-step process will help you overcome obstacles of guilt, inner conflict, self doubt, fear, jealousy, anger, and more. You will learn about the powerful subconscious, techniques and tools as well as affirmations. This will allow you to release blocks and obstacles that have held you back from yourself. Transform your life into one of love and self acceptance. Book available at: http://www.theanjatechnique.com/ http://www.barnesandnoble.com/

Finding your voice and direction: 3 vidoes on writing

Friday, March 6th, 2009

We know that there are many more women writers than 3 decades ago. However doing a search on youtube, sometimes the list comes up short.

Above, the videos will give you much to thin about. If you listen write down several questions that would apply to your writing. Inspiration may emerge from the most mundaneor ordinary settings. Add some imagination. Do you carry an old fashioned notebook? Are you the investigative journalist, keeping ideas or observations to help you solve your mystery?

Some might collect text message to chronicle a new world held fast by youth and families. Secret short messages sculpting the world and relationships of an electronic community.

How do approach opportunity? Work? Writing? What do you need to do to build your career? Your Dreams? Perhaps listening to these videos may broaden your perspectives. Is it time to be bold and spread your wings?

Send me your thoughts, and what you are doing with your work.

“Because being a good woman will bring you happiness, and I am a good woman.” Great quote listen to the video.

Hmmm…the speaker says, “I knew there was a book in this, so I had better write it before someone else did.” This is a great way to make your writing more immediate, and creates an urgency to write, to take the chance that they can get the job done.

So this blog wandered a bit because I began listening about the factory women in China. However, there is much to learn about journalism, how to interview and to discover the story with another culture. Imagine if you treated your town or city as a foreign culture and you were the one collecting the stories that need so much to be told. Here are steps to feed your journey. Step forward and do write!

Writers Collect Resources: Expand your success!

I have always loved private libraries. I used to imagine a whole room with walls of books in my own house. Well I don’t have the big house, and I do have piles and piles of books which create comfort zones. However I am an avid collector of resources on my handy little computer. Thus whenever I am ready I have the tools I need.

Below I have copied the links for writers in the sky. Here’s a way to stay in contact with another writer,professional writer, who can also guide you through your writing adventures. We do need to stick together and find ways to support our loftiest dreams.

Please also read my older blogs. One theme you will see repeated here promotes balancing daily income with larger projects. I read an email today about making $100/day. That increases your income to $3000 a month, $36000 a year. Yes I downloaded the free report. Yes, eventually I’ll set up some of those sites. Frankly, that would mean I’d have a base income which I could re-arrange my life to paint, and write more seriously.

I am open to learning, reading, doing new ideas. The more I do this, the easier my life has become. Imagine if 3 million writers discovered ways to easily create a base income, and what they could then with their words! Hey O would be happy if over the years if I first did that for myself, and then helped another 100 writers achieve similar sucesses.

Also imagine if you spent $10,000 to publish the books you write, to make them even larger successes. The world is ours to have our turn at creating successes. This is my journey. What is yours? I’d love to hear from you.

I hope you enjoy this month’s e-zine and will leave a voice mail comment about the e-zine or your experience with WITS by phoning (214) 615-6505 ext 7282.
