 Being writers in the modern, hectic world we live in, is a blissful experience. That is without the crazy deadlines, constant amendments and endless work we surround ourselves with but on the whole, it is enjoyable. The world of a writer Working as a writer is different to working as anything else, the job is largely non-described, for most management is non-existent, and in general, the reason people write is not money. Being a writer is about something more, something larger. No matter what discipline of the industry you’re part of, you are always working for something bigger than you or me. You’re working for change. Change in people. Change an industry. Change in a country. Or even, change in the world. We work day in, day out, in the hope that what we produce, might hopefully change someone or something, somewhere in the world. We don’t work for change. We work to make change. Have you got what it takes? Anyone can be a writer. It doesn’t matter what walk of life you come fro...

 Full Disclosure: It’s slightly more than 10 years, from my start in 2003 co-blogging with Right We Are!, to setting up my own site after my co-blogger decided to pursue other interests. I still run that site, along with co-blogging, once again, at Liberty’s Torch. Oh, and a short-lived blog about teaching that spawned a widely-shared post. So — why do I blog? It’s not the money. At my niche of the business, even ONE ad would be welcome. It’s not the glory. Few know I do it, and even fewer appreciate my efforts. What blogging has given me — and what it could give you — is the PRACTICE of turning out words, multiple times a week (sometimes multiple times a day), organizing my thoughts, finding links, structuring the posts to gain eyeballs, coming up with catchy titles, and keeping it going, year after year. Image for post I’m not the greatest writer — but, I am consistent. Occasionally, I do hit one out of the park, and get a huge response, but, whether I capture attention, or wonde...

 I’ve been writing professionally for more than three years now. Starting out with academic write-ups for an academic support agency, I started writing for myself about a couple years ago. I will admit though that I have loved writing for the longest time and that did write my diary off and on. I haven’t saved any of those diaries, I guess out of sheer laziness. It would have been fun to read what I wrote as a teenager. Especially because English was not a native language and I wasn’t then an avid reader. I think I always had this urge to write my thoughts on paper and I can vouch that I had the most abstract thoughts ever since I can remember. For an aural exam in standard 10, I remember we were asked to prepare a piece of our choice. Most people had either prepared existing stuff or written short essays on very relatable topics. I had written and prepared a piece on humility. My teacher felt it was a bit bizarre but she heard me nonetheless. I also got an A grade for it. I rememb...

Writing is… Cathartic Emotional Real Symbiotic Percussive Strong Difficult Mine Life. Writing for money, especially for other companies and authors, is a fantastic career. And because most of my writing is ghosted, I have had to learn to keep my personal feelings and opinions out of the pieces I write. Especially when I disagree or find their references suspect. It can be difficult to compartmentalize. To separate my personal feelings or opinions from those of the author/company I work for. Not that it is ever anything heinous. None of my clients are people I fundamentally disagree with. …

 I think all aspiring and professional writers out there will agree when I say that ‘We are never fully satisfied with our work. We always feel that we can do better and that our best piece is yet to be written’. I also believe that there is at least one quote that gets you and is fitting to how you feel at any moment in life. So read on to find some apt quotes for all writing occasions from considering to be a writer to experiencing a writers block to have already created that masterpiece yet contemplating if it’s good enough. “Read a thousand books, and your words will flow like a river.” ― Lisa See “The first draft is just you telling yourself the story.” ― Terry Pratchett “You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” ― Octavia E. Butler “You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.” ― Jodi Picoult “Start w...

My son starts school today. It is all going to be strange and new to him for a while and I wish you would treat him gently. It is an adventure that might take him across continents. All adventures that probably include wars, tragedy and sorrow. To live this life will require faith, love and courage. So dear Teacher, will you please take him by his hand and teach him things he will have to know, teaching him – but gently, if you can. Teach him that for every enemy, there is a friend. He will have to know that all men are not just, that all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, that for every crooked politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach him if you can that 10 cents earned is of far more value than a dollar found. In school, teacher, it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to learn how to gracefully lose, and enjoy winning when he does win. Teach him to be gentle with people, tough with tough people. Steer him away from ...
