HAPPY NEW YEAR! Time To Step Your Writing Game Up!

Happy New Year to all of my writers! 

It's a new year and time to get step your writing game up.  Start by reflecting on your old ideas and turn them into something new and improved. This will keep you grounded and also improve your writing skill.

Another way to step your writing game up, is to hook up with nature.  When you get outside more (even when it's cold) you feel refreshed, open to new and greater possibilies and willing to take risk in your writing.  As we all know, the mother of all mother's, mother nature takes risk every day. Taking a moment to capitalize on that will enhance your sense of self, creativness and spirit.

Remember, it's 2012 so there's no time like the present to truly step your writing up.

WHAT IS CREATIVE WRITING TO YOU?

When you think of what creative writing is to you, what are your thoughts?  What story or poem pops in your head?  What inspires you to write creatively?

These are things for you to think about as you read on through this post of "what is creative writing to you."

As many of already know creative writing is considered to be any writing, fiction , poetry, or non-fiction, that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, and technical forms of literature. That's the definition of creative writing in  nut shell.

However, to many of us it means something totally different.  We define creative writing by the way we write, tell our own stories, and how we creative a piece of poetry.

When we take ourselves the next level creatively we are creative writing in our way.  It's a definition that only you the writer can give to yourself to be able to understand what kind of a writer you are or evenually want to be.

The bottom line is to think about what creative writing means to you through your own experiences, needs, wants, and style.  Focus on your insecurities, vulnerabilities, and strengths to creatively capture the very essence of who you are as a writer.  That alone will show you what creative writing means to you.

SURVIVING WRITERS BLOCK!

Writer's block is what most writers say when they are tired and they choose not to continue on with their current story. 

Most writers write, stop and then write weeks later when they think about it. 

We say, it's writer's being absolutely lazy instead of focusing on completing the story at that time.

The truth to surviving writers block is surviving yourself.  It comes down to having the enthusiam to finish what you've started. 

For some it's easier said than done, as most writers have a short attention span anyway. 

Sticking to your writing goals is key. That' why building a list before you start writing with your goals for the day is where you start.  Once you do that, you start writing.  Then take small breaks in between to gather your thoughts and let what you have written marinate in your mind.  Then, it's back to writing for the length of time you have promised yourself. 

It's all about taking the time to build up your writing stamia to get your story finished and having fun in the process.  If you can do that, then you can survive writers block.

Today, take the steps and survive writer's block; the stink of writing.

DEFINING YOU IN YOUR WRITING!

What does writing teach us? What does each story we write say to the potential reader? How can writers strive to tell stories better and better and stay true to their literary style?

These are all questions you should ask your self when trying to define your literary style or stay on course with your writing style.

We all know at times it can be a bit hard to stay the course in our storytelling, but with knowing who you are as a writer and lots of reading, any writer can define who they are in their writing.

It's important to know the types of stories you wish to tell as well as incorporating your own techniques. Whether made up or a collage of many techniques made into your own over time; it will make your stories very interesting and rather unique.

As you develop this, and keep it up, your stories will touch many readers in a major way.

Today; define you in your writing and stay true to who you are as you strive to tell your next story.

REACH FOR THE LITERARY STARS!

Every writer should reach for the literary stars!

Striving to become the next big writer is what most budding writers strive for. Most of us, if not all of us want the same thing which is "Literary Stardom."

In order to become that, you have to first, start thinking it. Your mind will get you there, if you let it. Then, it comes down to your will power, potential, knowledge, and hustle.

If you have all of those things, you can be that literary star that you want to be. It depends on you the writer and how bad you altimately want to make it.

Today; reach for the literary stars by continuing on your literary journey as the writer, storyteller, and lover of literature that your meant to be.

RUN YOUR WRITING WORLD!

Run your writing is what all writers should do.

Being the creative force behind your storytelling is hard enough for any writer. However, running your writing world is also hard.

When you run your writing world, you have control over your content in every way imaginable. That includes from the start of the idea to the publishing to the marketing. All of those things are an intricate part of running your world.

As we know, writers have more outlets to express themselves these days. From books, ebooks, blogs, newsletters, e-zines, and just plain old word of mouth. It' how we control those things, that sets us apart from the rest.

Today; be that all around successful writer and control your writing world. Be the force that stands behind your creative content with pride and dignity. Whether your published by book, ebook, blog, tweet, facebook, myspace or some other publishing outlet; have control and run it like you would run your life.

Remember your word is your bond.
