RE-VISITING THE SHORT STORY!

Stories are so many things that we know and love.

The short story is a great way to gain inspiration to take your storytelling to the next level. 

It can be told in a few sentences or one hundred sentences, depending your time frame and the elements of your story. 

We can mold it, dress it up, dress it down, or sex it up. It can be a story that captures everything
you infuse in it.

Today; find your inspiration by creating a bold, sassy, and interesting short story. You never know where it will take 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.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: "Tingle"

This word is an automatic when creating a hot and steamy love story or very gritty nasty black love drama.

When I think of this word I immediately get goose bumps!  It has a ripple effect, much like when your lover is caressing you in one spot, which automatically makes those other spots jump to the tenth power!

You can use this word in a number of ways in your story.  Many people use it as a description as they describe how one charater feels.  Writers also use it in performance poetry to give a smooth, yet in your face effect.

There are power in words, but more power in the description of the word.  The more you can describe the word the more your readers will get wrapped up in you stories/poetry.

Today, use "tingle" in a way that you never have before, and realize the potential a word can bring to spice up your story/poetry.

TAKE A MENTAL NOTE!

Writing can help us in many ways to see things clearly and to tell the kinds of stories we want to tell to our potential audience.

Many of us who are writers are always on the move and going about our daily lives.

As your out and about today, take a mental note of what's going on around you.  Sometimes those small things can yield big returns in the creative process. 

It's also important to take a mental note because incorporating real life aspects into your stories can have a real life affect on your potential reading audience.

Today; as your running around and going about your business, take a mental note.  You never know where it will take your story.

Storytellers!

Storytelling is an exciting way to reveal something interesting or just to be creative.

As you tell your story, be sure to incorporate something spicy, dramatic, unforgettable and down right interesting.

Start by looking at your own life, but changing it up so that it seems new.  Once you've done that, take it to the next level by creating good characters around what your story is truly about.  Remember it says alot when your characters pop.

WRITING SEXY STORIES!

The art of wrting sexy stories can be tricky, but can be done in a professional and fun way.

First, you have to decide if it's the type of story you want to create and produce fully.

Second; getting yourself in the mindset of story is key.  Everything from the characters, the names, what they look like, what they act like, what they sound like, how their body parts look, where the trist may take place, if there are birds singing or a wolf howling in the background, how they move when their making love, how they kiss, and finally to how the story may end or not end is important.

Third, as you put all of that together, think about your wording and how you put your sentences together to make the story come a live. Think about your description of many things in your sexy story, because it makes all the difference to your reader.

Finally, don't forget to have fun and be adventurous when creating your sexy story.

Remember, when you have fun writing it, your potential readers will have fun reading it.
