I Don't Like to Say "I Don't Know"

Submitted by Kathy Collard Miller on December 6, 2012 - 9:58am

People often tell me, “I don’t consider my writing a business. I just write for fun.” Yet, whether writing is a vocation or an avocation for you, treat it as a profession. Ideally, you should have a desk and a filing cabinet dedicated solely to your writing—an entire room is even better!

Ideally, you should have a desk and a filing cabinet dedicated solely to your writing—an entire room is even better! Many writers, however, do not have this luxury. Also, it is important to have a comfortable chair that adequately supports your back. Writing requires a lot of sitting. Be sure to get up and walk around at least once every hour, and look away from your computer screen every fifteen minutes for a moment.

Twelve Evaluation Questions

Submitted by Susan Titus Osborn on November 20, 2012 - 1:39pm

After you have written the first draft of your story, ask yourself these twelve evaluation questions:

 

1.  Do I have a good lead?

2.  Is my story or article interesting?

3.  Is it significant?

4.  Is my story or article marketable?

5.  Does it have continuity?

6.  Does it make sense?

7.  Have I left out any important points?

8.  Did I say what I wanted to say?

9.   Are my transitions adequate?

10. Did I repeat my thoughts?

11. Did I use complete sentences?





Why Are You Writing

Submitted by Susan Titus Osborn on November 15, 2012 - 4:15pm

Are you writing to share your story with others? Are you seeking personal growth? Is it a ministry? Is it to make money? Making a living as a freelance writer is extremely difficult. Hopefully, your main purpose for writing is providing a ministry. Personally, I want to change lives and to share something with others that will benefit them.
