Writers Unbound

The following information was written for Christian audiences. If you do not share this faith, you may still want to listen as it is still packed full with a great amount of tips and solid stories about working as a writer. Want to be published? Listen!

Have you found blogTalkradio? Come on over to find great interviews and seminars. I decided to look up women wrtiers
on www.twitter.com and found a long list. I chose to visit Blogtalk radio, and have found an interesting group of audio broadcasts.
Today I am listening to an interview with Marnie, an author with 15 books published. You can either listen to the audio or go
directly to www.Marnie.com.

The interview is on Writer’s Radio Show, and the feature is Scatterbrain’s System for Writing. Below is a clip from www.writers-nook.com.
You will find terric resource here. Enjoy.

Every good writer often faces the research or idea generation dilema. I actually went to twitter today to add a few comments and see what was happening. Normally I would have added a few new folks, and then I saw the search box! There’s power in the search box.

Writers often share a deep curiousity habit. Who would meet? What would they be doing? Would there (and the answer always is yes) be good material for some blogs perchance?

Yes. I spent over 1 1/2 hours listening to interviews and seminars whilst I wrote. The Scatterbrain System seminar had me so busy taking notes that I stopped other activities until it was finished. Go to BlogTalkRadio. Find women writers…look for the recording Scatterbrain Writing System.

So I copied here just a few Twiiter comments. Sometimes they are profound. Often they provide a quick link to resources I need. However they also represent a new form of condensed publishing. 140 characters, the clever can tell a story. 140 characters:excellent copy for an ad. 140 characters and you can build an audience who’ll WANT to read your work. Imagine a 140 word query letter?! Tweet me please.

BETWEEN ISSUES UPDATE
http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/update.html=================================================================
26 March 2009 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ISSN: 1529-3483
=================================================================

Hello again –

Look what I’ve got for you today — great stuff!

1. A clever little card trick that will give you a startling and
USEFUL “Aha!” moment.

2. A cool free download that lets you watch all your favorite
online videos in MUCH less time. I love this little gadget!

3. How gratitude transformed a SOGR fan’s 10-year-old daughter’s
bad attitude — and how yet ANOTHER home was saved from the
sheriff’s auction.

So let’s get started …

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

CLEVER CARD TRICK ILLUSTRATES ESSENTIAL SOGR PRINCIPLE

After hearing about it from a whole bunch of people, I watched
this online video interview where a young fellow from Australia
performs a little ‘card trick’ that very cleverly shows one of
the key principles of The Science of Getting Rich in such a clear
way that you can’t fail to understand it.

For quite a few folks, it has provided one of
those forehead-slapping moments that suddenly
startles you beyond what you THOUGHT you had
previously understood.

(Always a good thing!)

There’s a bit of background chatter before they get to the really
“good stuff,” but I think it’s worth the time just for that one
little “visual aid.” Check it out now — and slap your own
forehead!:

–> http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/which-card

By the way, there’s a second video you can get access to with a
fellow who used visualization — “clear mental image!” — and was
healed in FOUR WEEKS from a disease with no known cure. And then
there are a couple of weird and funny stories of how he went on
to attract a sailboat AND a new designer kitchen.

The kitchen part involves a 40-foot tree falling on his house –
an excellent example of how something that seems awful in the
moment can end up bringing you exactly what you wanted all along!

(Oh, BEFORE you go watch, you might want to grab the free tool
I’m about to tell you about in the NEXT tidbit …)

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

ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE ONLINE VIDEOS AND SAVE TIME, TOO
(21st Century “Efficient Action”)

I don’t know about you, but as much as I enjoy all the great
stuff I can learn about or laugh at in online videos, sometimes
the folks in them seem to talk VERY slowly or ramble a bit. So I
used to occasionally find myself wishing I could speed ‘em up.

Well, now I can — and so can you. Free. (Woohoo! What great
manifesters we are!) ;-D

I’ve been using this nifty little app for a couple of weeks now
and it’s SO useful.

Just download it for free (it’s small and fast), install it, and
whenever you view YouTube or most other online videos …

… you can speed up OR slow down the audio
without the speakers sounding like a cartoon
chipmunks or like they’re just coming out of
anesthesia.

I just added it to the Update Page, so you can find it here:

–> http://www.scienceofgettingrich.net/update.html

(Haven’t tried it for this myself, but I suppose if you like
dancing really FAST, you could experiment with it on music
videos, too. Or exercise videos — ah, the sky’s the limit!)

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

GRATITUDE IS ‘CONNECTION TO POWER’ FOR KIDS, TOO
(And … Yet Another Home Snatched off the Auction Block!)

From JD in Powell, Ohio, USA:

“My 10-year-old daughter had recently been taking things for
granted and complaining about what she couldn’t have or do. Up
until now, I would lecture her about how good she has it, which
never seemed to have any impact.

“Because of Lifelabs 17 and 18* my thinking had shifted and I
asked her and my wife if we could hold a little ‘gratitude
ritual’ every evening where we express our gratitude for things
that happened that day, in the past or things that are happening
in the future.

“Her attitude has shifted in just a few days
and we are all finding ourselves appreciating
each other and what we have much more. We are
also looking at things in a better way.

“I also wanted to give an update to what I shared in my “‘hello
from Ohio’ post in the introduction section about our house.

“The sheriff sale was scheduled to take place
today at 10:00 am, and yesterday around 4:00 pm
it was cancelled.

“I am in conversation with the bank and they are working with us
to do a loan modification.

“I also had a great income opportunity drop into my lap as a
result of taking a little action to get some business coaching
from a business coach I met with a year ago. He’s helping me get
going with it and giving me some free business coaching until I
get in a more profitable position.

“This stuff is working and I am so grateful …

“Thank you Rebecca, this course is integrating the SOGR into my
life and putting it into action!”

***

Thank YOU, JD. I love both your stories — although I am truly
SHOCKED to learn that lecturing your 10-year-old didn’t seem to
work any magic. ;-D

And BIG congratulations on that VERY good news about your home.

(Wow, that’s TWO houses rescued for Practical
GeniusesTM just this month. Remember JULIA’S
awesome story from last week? Wonderful!)

*LifeLabs are part of the Science of Getting Rich for Practical
GeniusesTM Online Course that JD is a part of, along with LOADS
of incredible people from all over the world. Here’s more …

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.

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.

“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.”
