Cheers to Writing

A Writing Tip For those who want to write, but can't settle on what to write, start with how you are feeling at that moment, and think of what you want to say or do. That will get you started. Later, you can add relevant memories, what others have to say about the same issue, or something you experienced that is relevant or pertinent. Then you can do a little research, just to add some facts, see what the experts are saying on the same issue. After all this, you might decide, well I wanted a story, and all you have to do is think of a conflict, how it will start, decide how the conflict will get more complicated and interesting and then how it will be resolved, add some characters, some fancy description and you are good to go. Lol. It can be that easy, you just have to get started. See you next time. Cheers to writing!

Hello Everyone! Thanks to those who bought my book, 'The House' by K.L.S. Stephenson. It is available on Amazon.com, in their online book store. Please write me an email and send your reviews, or leave your comments here. I really want to know what you think about it. Thank you.

Getting Started with Writing It's always good to inhale everything around you and then find what speaks to you. We are all unique and we see things differently, so if you can use your senses to find something to write about that would be good. But even better is thinking about your experiences and using that to inspire you to write. Since you went through certain things, you have a knowledge about it that you could never imagine and that kind of first hand knowledge will provide a more vivid experience, in words, for your audience than any kind of writing lesson. Even better than writing from experience, is writing about something that speaks to you, something you are passionate about and that will drive you and propel you forward. In this way, it will encompass what you've gathered with your senses, what you've experienced and your personality all in one, and that is the best writing you can ever produce or experience. But don't forget resea

A Thousand Words It's funny how we talk alot everyday without realizing how many words we use, and then someone can say even more than we ever could with one picture. Soak up the following pictures and guess what I'm trying to say. The beautiful thing about descriptive writing is that it tries to capture in words, what we could experience at a glance, or in one moment. and that's why it helps to be very descriptive or rather, relate as many information that deals with the senses, so that the reader can partake of the experience or person or thing or place or event you are trying to describe. So next time you go outside, look around you and take a deep breath and then listen, inhale, feel, and engage as many senses as possible. Who knows, maybe you will learn something new about your surrounding and yourself. Look out for descriptive lesson three, it deals with figurative devices and after lesson four; techniques for c

Here is a fun way to spruce up your relationship with your writing; handwritten notes! Sometimes, when I'm at home and I feel that I haven't been getting any special time with my husband, and I want to feel close to him, I write him little love notes. I tell him what I miss about him, and even encouraging things, such as: have a great day honey, or something like that, or if I know that he is having a hard time at work, I tell him to hang in there, with a note. I think he likes it, even though sometimes he only smiles, if I'm around when he finds it; I like to hide them in places I know he will have to look. Lol, I feel happy when he is happy. Try it! It just might make you feel the same way.

I enjoy descriptive writing, because this is the point at which a writer becomes a painter; presenting the world to his/her readers in words. I love painting too, so that’s the reason for it being my favorite writing skill. I will be making a series of lessons on Writing Descriptively, this is lesson 1. There are several skills involved in writing descriptively, these are as follows: naming what you want to describe, selecting and including sensory details, using comparison and using various descriptive techniques. In this lesson, we will focus on the first skill; naming what is to be described. You need to ask yourself if it is a place or person or thing, or idea, or item or is it an event that you want to describe. This is important, because there are different ways of describing different things, because you focus on detail in a different way. It also involves making choices about things that speak to the writer, who plans on recreating this item/person/place/event with word

Why Write? Writing has always had a purpose since the existence of mankind, mainly to record or document things deemed important to remember. But later, it took on an artistic element that has come to appeal to the emotional and creative side of human beings. Today, writing is considered an art that only few have mastered or are gifted with it's expressions and demands on one's time. I want to focus more on the therapeutic nature of composing something. Just writing a simple note or letter to someone to tell them that you care or express something you cannot muster the strength to say, can do wonders. Writing is an extension of a person; what we say defines us and who we are, and despite what many people say or think, words have a tremendous amount of power, and can be used to destroy, create, or build something or even someone. So if someone tells you that writing is useless or not as important as other things, you should take the time to point out the following: 1.
