In my last post, I showcased a passionate writer.  I’d like to cover a writer’s passion just a bit more. I’ve also written on this topic at BloggingTips.com, Write With Passion.
The lady I showcased is a passionate fiction writer. She is always busy writing about one of her characters, coming up with new characters and ideas or outlining scenes for one of her many works in progress. As I was thinking about how a writer’s passion needs to shine through in their material, I realized the same …

Passion.  It can go a long way in your writing.  All too often writers fail to put words on paper and call it writers’ block.  But sometimes it goes deeper than that; sometimes its a loss of passion about your writing.  Afterall, if you aren’t writing with passion, the words often won’t come and if they do they’ll be forced.  Forced words never match up to words written with passion and they will read with a forced sense–the reader will know.
I’ve recently had the honor to become friends with a …

Do we limit ourselves as to what we can achieve?  Is it fear, inhibition or something else?  Is it self-doubt, self-worth.  Are you afraid of success or afraid of what people will think of you once you become successful? Are we limited by the company we keep? Are we afraid of change?  After all, success is change.
What if your favorite author was afraid of success?  How many books would you have missed reading?  Where would your inspiration be?  Would you have the same inspiration to be a writer?
Would your friends …

There’s come a time in life, actually several times in life if you’re having fun, that things need to be simplified.  So this blog will take on a simplified look.  I’m not getting to devote as much attention as I intended too, but that’s okay, life is grand none-the-less.  I just have a very busy life and writing assignments that I prefer to devote more time too.  I will update here, and I’m still taking guest bloggers if anyone is interested, but for now, I want it to be simple …

Well there you are stuck again without any thing to write about.  Maybe you missed my other post, Use Mind-Mapping and Analyzing to Help Overcome Writer’s Block, and yes I realize I’ve hit this subject twice in the last two days, but when I began writing about writer’s block I realized it had turned into at least two posts.
If you’ve tried mind mapping and had no luck with it to get yourself writing, I have another writing tip for you; Write about it!  About what you ask?  Write about writer’s block.
Here’s an …

In a recent post I mentioned writer’s block and writer’s overload.  “What Holds You Back From Writing.”
Today I want to cover ways to help you overcome writers block but I also want to raise the question of whether or not one can lead to the other (writers block and writers overload).
I referred to writer’s overload as having too many ideas to write about, which could translate to having so many ideas you can’t find time to write.  I also mentioned that “idea” overload can cause you to feel overwhelmed and …

The English language can be tough, even for us native speakers.  It’s no wonder when we can have three spellings of a word that sounds the same but has three different meanings.  What were we thinking?
I see these words misused all the time, by native speakers, people I went to school with (many years ago).  You’d think it would be simple and they’d have learned the difference by now, but unfortunately they haven’t.
So lets cover a few of my pet peeves.
They’re: is a contraction for they are.
There: means something is …
