I am so many things......I've changed my skin a thousand times. I'm a woman, a wife, a mom, an aunt, a sister, a daughter, a friend.....a musician, an artist, a scientist.........who sometimes dabbles in writing.
Have you heard of mapping? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.
We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!
Now this weeks challenge is a little different.
As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to listen to what we have to say.
What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone buy them?
Here is what you wrote to me some time ago:
"i just wanted to say hello! i have just discovered your work and i'm very much enjoying!! you have a wonderful way with words and i cannot wait to read more....however i thought i would say hi first"
I haven't seen any of your reviews. Were these just words?
What would you like me to review of yours that you feel would be up my street? I'm scared of poetry but, if you point me to your best work, I'll give it a shot.
