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 research; this can help to improve what ever you have on your own, and this can take many forms. So write on people, write on.


Cheers to Writing

Never Give Up!

Life can be a chore. Sometimes it gets exciting, and you get hopeful. But sometimes it crashes, like a torpedo taking a dive, and you feel like, well, crap. These ups and downs of life are really based on our feelings. Feelings change everyday, many times. To determine that your life is a failure or success based on your feelings is therefore unreliable and dangerous. Why? We go through so many things everyday. Some things are bad and some things are good. If every time you feel bad about something, you become hopeless and sink into despair, you are putting your whole life at risk, over a moment in time. And conversely, if you have something great going on now and you feel good and make decisions on how you feel, even though you might be happy now, those decisions might make you unhappy later. Never make decisions on your feelings. I know this now, because I have made the mistakes and I have gotten so low in my feelings that I have actually attempted suicide more than once. Don...

I know how difficult it can be to try to establish yourself in a new market or even to try anything new.

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...
