Critique

Have a question? Agree, disagree, with me? Leave me your opinion. Sighs of relief happens when a writing project is completed. Yet, the writing project requires more. The last step is to critique. It's necessary to distance oneself from the writing project. You need the mental break from it. Try a new activity. Perhaps, start a new writing project. Develop a character for a work of fiction. Decide whether or not to write in a new genre, or write an essay. The longer a writing project is, the longer "needed time" away. You'll come-back to the writing project refreshed, and with better writing ideas. Let's critique. Read it. Is your writing attention grabbing? Paragraphs must sway smoothly from one to the next. The images should inspire a reader to understand, sadden or ignite a response. Sometimes, a reaction is negative. Strong verbs plays an important part of writing. They stir readers into the subject. Pay attention to transitions. Are they flowing from one idea to the next? Every word word contributes to the writing project, or is removed. Read the writing project out-loud. Is it the best you have to offer? If yes, move on. If no, start the critiquing process over.

Never Have Writer's Block

Have a question? Agree, disagree, with me? Leave me your opinion. Writer's block should never be an issue for any writer. The longer I write, the more I believe that statement. However, writer's block may happen if you're under stress, ill or when you're trying to meet a deadline. The following explains how to never have writer's block. Relax. Take a deep breath. Several if needed. Let's count. One, two, three and stop. The writing process begins. Write about what the number one represents to you. Try two or three. Use the O to make a word like: ominous. Ominous leads to fiction and non-fiction. Ominous is an investigation, by you, of your disappearing antique pen. Next, write a story detailing your efforts. Or, write a story based on an item lost by you. N is noise or a N word of your choice. An article relating, maybe, to which birds chirp in a specific neighborhood. The letter E is placed with NVY. The word envy spins into various story-lines, articles and poems. The only limitation is what your creative flow brings to life. At this point, writer's block is pushed-away. Go back to your original writing project. Most likely, you've new writing ideas for it.
