The Magical Art of Creative Writing

  WORD ART
          by Stuart Leventhal

Picture
Art’s magic allows us to capture an emotional moment in
time and freeze it so we can revisit it again and again, enjoying it at our will, exploring it, studying it further, sharing it and marveling at it to our hearts content. Writing is the grandest art form of all. For every writing masterpiece is really an infinite amount of unique masterpieces limited only by each reader’s mind and willingness to let their imagination loose. 
 
All the other art forms rely on the creation of something physical and tangible; music the blending and orchestration of sounds, painting splashes of color, light and shadow, dance the visual dramatization of life in motion, sculpture texture, strength and vulnerability. All things an audience can admire from a far. Writing does not engage the senses directly relying on vision, smell, taste, touch or sound to bring it to life. Instead, writing
relies on audience participation for it to be activated. Only then can, all the five senses be evoked and stimulated inside the theaters of each individual reader’s mind.

At first glance writing is just meaningless symbols scribbled on paper. It takes effort and concentration just to decipher the
symbols into coherent textual stories or instruction or warnings or historic chronicles then the text must be read, thought about and interpreted into ideas and messages that complete the master piece. 
 
The written word can recreate the scene of a concert. It can convey the emotional impact of the unveiling of a park statue, it surely can describe the beauty of the Mona Lisa. The written word can portray and preserve any and all the beauty or anger of all the other art forms combined.

Animals and even plants have been known to respond to
music. Certainly animals have been duped by sculptures. Fisherman have been using realistic lures for years as have duck hunters been using wooden carved ducks as decoys to hunt with as well as duck callers and moose callers. Dogs and
cats have been known to bark and claw at artist renditions of other animals and of course their squeaky toys. Many of earth’s creatures use mating dances to profess their attraction to the opposite sex. Perhaps the power of the written word comes from its being the only art form that is truly an all human art form; designed by man for man’s enjoyment and purposes. No other organism we know of could possibly understand a paragraph of writing yet possibly begin to grasp even a small percent of what is contained in the pages of just one 400 page novel.

Writing is truly one of the supreme gifts bestowed on
man. Writing is a uniquely human talent which opens doors for mankind which lead to unlimited opportunities and possibilities we have yet to grasp. Don’t you feel you owe it to yourself to discover all that writing, reading and literature have to offer?

The fields of writing are some of the noblest trades I know of.

FREELANCING

Picture
Working at Home as a Creative Freelance Writer
      by Stu Leventhal
Working at home as a creative writer is one of the largest work
at home categories. Being a freelance creative writer has traditionally been a
work at home job and now that working at home is becoming more popular, there
have been more creative writers entering the industry. If you like to write and
have a good grasp of the English language, you will never be at a loss for work at home creative writing jobs. Freelancing gives you artistic freedom!

Starting your career as a work at home freelance writer is as easy as doing
some Internet research and applying for a job. Simply do a Google search for
writing jobs and start working your way through the posts. There are many ways
to break into the creative writing field, even if you have no previous
experience. Online writing opportunities abound. Product reviews, guest
blogging, article writing, the short story market are just a few examples of
creative writing gigs listed on popular freelance writing job websites. 
 
While many writers dream of one day writing the great American
novel or Hollywood movie script, most writers are realistic in knowing that they
are going to have to do some other types of writing to get paid on a consistent
basis. Writing for consistent pay is mostly, if not exclusively, done in the
non-fiction genre. This is due to the fact that fiction story writing is never a
sure thing and the author's pay day may not come for years after a book is
finished. While occasionally a writer will find contests for fiction writing or
for poetry, the pay is minimal if anything unless you win the contest. High
paying fiction and poetry opportunities are few and far between when compared to
the non-fiction opportunities.

Writing from home as a creative writing freelancer has few
requirements. A reliable Internet connection, good written communication skills
and the ability to be a self-starter is about all it takes to launch a freelance
writing career. In time you may wish to add a good quality printer, a fax
machine and a scanner. As a freelance creative writer, you will be in charge of
your time and your projects. There will always be deadlines to meet and new
writing opportunities to try. You will be responsible for balancing your writing
work with the rest of your life. You must also have the ability to research a
wide variety of topics, as you will be challenged to learn about and write about
topics that you may have little experience in or knowledge of. 
 
Freelance writing from home can break down into three specific
areas: writing for print, writing for the web and blogging. Although blogging is
technically writing for the web, there are many distinctions that make it
different from other web writing
opportunities.

Writing for print is what people generally think of when they
hear the term “freelance writer.” Freelancer writers who write for the print
markets need to first build a reputation as reliable and eloquent writer. If
you’ve never written for the print markets before, start with smaller, local
  publications and then work from there. You’ll need to find a list of
  publications that are accepting
“queries.”

Your Queries should be designed as a combination of a letter of
introduction telling about yourself as an author and then your pitch for a
creative story idea. Most writers rely on the Writer’s Market reference guide
for lists of print publications worth querying. The Writer’s Market has
comprehensive information on a variety of newsletters, magazines and other 
publications that are taking queries. Each publisher has their own set of
querying criteria that has to be met or they will not bother reading your
proposal. Start with topics that you know the most about and try writing a few
queries to get yourself going in the print
market.

The only drawback to writing for print is that the period between
when you write and when you get paid can be months long. For many freelancers,
this is just not feasible. Writing for the web, however, can meet their income
needs and still allow them to write from home as they continue to work on their
big ticket movie script. There are many categories of creative writing for the
web. You can be a ghostwriter for e-books or other Internet media. Many people
need copywriters to provide content for their sales letters and websites. You
can also offer your services to webmasters who need fresh content for their blog
or newsletter. The opportunities are
endless.

Blogging is yet another way to make money as a writing
freelancer. Blogs are an ever-growing form of Internet media. Blog writers
generally provide their own content. You can make money as a freelancer by
starting your own blog and posting to it daily. If you love to write, you can
start several blogs at once and multiply your earnings. Once you become an
experienced blogger, you can apply for blogging jobs and post for other
people.

Being a freelancer means that you get to set your own prices for what your
time is worth. No more waiting years for a raise that may never come. As
you become more proficient and widen your client base you can double and
triple your earnings as you see fit.

You should not rush to quit your day job immediately and hope to
make $10,000 next month. Instead, start slow and work your way into the field of
creative freelance writing. You have to build a client base. Once you are making
the equivalent of your full time job and you have too much freelance work to do,
then decide to freelance full time and quit your day job. If you work hard this
process can happen rather quickly, so don’t be discouraged. The jobs are real.
The money is real. The only investment is the amount of time you are willing to
invest.

The market for freelancers is growing in leaps and bounds. The future markets are
projected to continue to grow at the same rapid rate. This means more fantastic
freelance opportunities and greater potential income.

WORD SMITH

The Lonely Road of the Word Meister.

                       By Stu Leventhal

From your early childhood, you have been training to become a Word Smith. Certainly writing for professional publications is a whole different kettle of fish from turning in grade school essays your parents or older siblings helped you author. Since school, you’ve grown and matured plenty in all kinds of ways aside from your writing, grammar and communication skills. Think of how proud you were when you turned in that history report on Honest Abe Lincoln then a few days later you received your first A+.

Aspiring authors plying their word smith craft in every genre will tell you, it doesn’t matter what you are writing about; fiction, nonfiction, poetry, sci-fi…when writing good, you are going to leave a piece of your past personal history somewhere among the paragraphs. The more of your emotional experiences you leave on the page, the better your writing will be received by your reader. Therefore, everything you do from the time you wake up to turn off the annoying buzz of the alarm clock until the time you fall asleep at night with the TV remote control still in your hand, you are training to be a better writer.

Writing is about expressing one’s self, exposing your feelings, vulnerabilities, fears and dreams. Laying your soul bare is what convinces readers of your sincerity and gives your work value. If you aren’t passionate about your subject, why the heck would you waste your time writing about it? And, more importantly, how can you possibly expect your reader to give a hoot?

Your reader picks up your book haphazardly off a stuffed book shelf or comes across one of your articles while flipping through the pages of a magazine as they sit waiting for the dentist assistant to call their name. More than likely you are only going to have one very quick chance at hooking this reader then you still have to wheel them in. Now you start sparring with them feinting and jabbing, faking a left to the body then throwing a right hook at the head as you try to set them up so you can deliver the knock out punch! Bore them at any time and in a flash, they will slam that book or magazine shut on the very words you poured hours of sweat, tears, thought and worry into then selfishly head back to that bookshelf or magazine rack or worse callously reach for the TV remote control!

Believe me when I say every awaken hour and probably while you are sleeping too, you are preparing yourself to write better. All of one’s experiences contribute to your well of knowledge and heighten your imagination, the two most important areas you need to develop in order to communicate better. Deep down inside, every creative writer knows they are going to have to bring every weapon in their arsenal to the table in order to attract and retain the attention of a suave readership. A creative writer needs to be able to manipulate, get inside someone’s head, sway, deceive, enlighten... You have to become a psychiatrist, scientist, politician, teacher, parent, mentor, lover, student, stalker, co-worker, friend and more from paragraph to paragraph to paragraph. As we mature and mold our character, we also mature and mold the character of our writing. Your personal development and intellectual growth is entwined with the growth of your writing abilities and thus all are constantly evolving together.

Ask any established writer for their most important piece of writing advice and they will all tell you, read and write! Read everything you can get your hands on; every genre, every style about any and every subject. READ! READ! READ! But you have to live too. Reading will expand your horizons, add to your knowledge, open up your mind, engage your creativity and take you places you could not hope to go without living hundreds of lives. But nothing produces more compelling writing material than pulling from one’s real life experiences.

Preparing, training, studying and learning are all great but, eventually we have to take the plunge. We have to start writing. Nothing, absolutely nothing is better for developing a writer’s skills and abilities than writing. Practice makes perfect. Practice is great for building all skills. In creative writing practice builds confidence. It allows a creative writer to experiment, test the waters, to go where no man has gone before. Be prepared and expect to hit some rough patches as you attempt to tackle new writing techniques and tougher subjects.

One can never write or type, scribble short hand or even try to talk into a tape recorder as fast as you can think. That is why we are always going to get frustrated because we’ve lost track of what we were trying to say. Know that trying to force the words to come usually has the opposite results, making it harder to write as well as tougher at times to focus one’s thoughts in the direction one would like them to go. The only solace I can give you is we’ve all been there. You will come out of it and when you resume writing the words will read better than ever!

Writing isn’t an easy walk through the park. It is hard work just to figure out exactly what it is you wish to say. It is even more difficult to express your thoughts on paper in a way that others will find value in. But, writing and writing then writing some more is the only way you will ever get better. And, yes you are going to have to re-write, edit, cut words out, replace words, shuffle sentences and re-arrange paragraphs before your text begins to take shape and becomes coherent enough to show to someone else. And it is still such a long way from being good enough to expect people to pay money to read your work!

Writing is not a get rich quick scheme. Writers, even the rich and famous authors, pay their dues and more. You will spend many hours, days, months and years alone with just your thoughts and a pen or keyboard. You will second guess yourself and scrutinize your work. You’ll rip up whole manuscripts that you worked months on! You will sit and stare at your blank computer screen in frustration and disgust wondering if the words will ever flow freely again. This is the world of the Word Meister. If you stick it out and keep on writing you will grow better and better, write faster and faster and your 1st drafts will begin to need less and less rewriting. You will eventually develop the skills to write at a level you never dreamed possible.

I cannot even begin to describe the places your writing will take you. Once you’ve experienced the feelings of accomplishment and elation that can only come from writing something you are really proud of. When you get to that place, you will understand that there are few possibilities in one’s life from which you can feel that feeling. Thus, the best advice I can give a young scribe is to keep writing creative writer and challenge one’s self at every turn. I want you to feel that feeling! It has nothing to do with getting that first royalty check from your publisher but everything to do with knowing that you’ve finally gotten it right. You have arrived. You are a great writer and there is nothing anyone but you can say or do to change that.

DIALOG

                    THE FINE ART OF CREATING DIALOG

                                          BY Stu Leventhal

Dialog is a literary conversation between two or more characters. It is easy to spot in popular literature such as a novels, short stories or theater scripts because the talking or spoken portions of a writing piece are usually enclosed by quotation marks, those two little slashes (“ “). On stage or in a film, the dialog pertains to all the lines that the actors speak. Authors utilize dialog to serve all kinds of purposes in their compositions. Dialog can be used to ignite drama, add humor or give us a peek inside a character’s mind. Literary dialog is often used to highlight an important point or moment in a piece. Conversations between characters help to explain things of significance to the audience.

Sometimes as authors, we find the dialog we’re writing between our characters is strained and seems to be dragging on and on but we really don’t want to edit the conversation because the info we are revealing to our readers, through this dialog is important for further developing the story. Authors often drive themselves crazy trying to think of a way to keep all of the pertinent info in the conversation, while not letting the talk become so boring or continue too unnaturally long that it becomes unnerving to their readers.

One solution is to simply use one of your characters involved with the dialog scene as a mechanism to say you as author are aware of the long windedness of the dialog but please bear with me. For example; break the long, boring verbatim up by having one of the listeners yawn, roll their eyes, throw in a few “Uh huh..” or uninterested sighs and shrugs. Let the speaker suddenly become annoyed shouting, “Are you listening to me?! Are you even hearing what I am saying?!” This will break a boring spell up by injecting a little over dramatic, humor.

You can also have your listener state outright, flatly, exactly what your reader is probably feeling. For instance:

“Listen, I really don’t feel comfortable talking with you about this. We don’t really know each other like that.”

Your long speaking character can start to cry then apologizes, “I’m sorry. I just have no one else to talk to about this.”

The concerned listener replies. “Okay, okay. Let’s go across the street and get a cup of coffee and you can tell me all about it. Just stop crying!”

Now, you no longer need to cut or revise the strained dialog, which could have resulted in causing you to put off informing some important information that the reader really needs to know at this time in the story.

Having one character skirting the issue like a politician or showing a character doing everything they can to avoid a topic. Will justify to your readers why the other character seems to be taking such a long time to get to the point. When a person keeps changing the subject, we know he’s hiding something. Your readers and the other characters in the story will know he is hiding something too. They will be tuned into trying to figure out what the one deceptive character is trying to conceal and they will assume that the long winded talker is also attempting to uncover the secret by intentionally coming up with ways to keep the conversation going.

When you have an unnaturally long dialog, you need to justify it. In these above ways you are including your reader in the writing process. You are bonding. You are in effect saying, “Hey, I’m aware that I seem to be droning on and on but stay with me, the journey will be worth it.” You are asking their permission to continue to drone, promising something special. And, thus they won’t quit you just yet. They want to stick around for the payoff. You have reassured them that you are very much still in control and you know exactly what you are doing. Now all you have to do is deliver on that promise!

Creative Writers and Authors Need an Online Presence

6/10/2013

by Stu Leventhal
A lot of you have been asking about website marketing that has to do with building an author related career on the internet. Many of you are struggling to make a living with your passion, creative writing. Many of you write part time and hold down a second job to pay most of the bills. We all realize the internet is the biggest market place for new writers of all kinds to make an impression and offline is where the big bucks dwell. You have to play the game if you ever want to win. There is a definite need for quality writers of every genre online. There are also tons of people who want you to write for free! But online is where you should start. Prove yourself, build a following then approach the off line literary moguls. Once you have a readership they’ll welcome you with open arms!

Online and offline, the writing world is full of unscrupulous characters so one has to be careful. Quite frankly, I never was very careful. I got burned plenty of times and I’m still being plagiarized all over the net, especially by the article spinner crowd. I guess I should feel flattered that they deem my text worthy of copying. My attitude always was, I just want to be read. I don’t care much about copy writing everything I type, but that is just me. I understand completely the feelings of worry and helplessness when a young writer sends out query letters or emails a script. Will someone steel your idea and not give you any credit? Sure, it happened to me and it probably has happened to most professional writers of any quantity of work. The only thing I can say to console you is that the people who copy and steel make a quick score but they can’t put out the quality of work as the real deals can time and time again.

For real creative writers, there is never enough time in the day to write what you want to write, to plot out your next piece, to rewrite just one more time. I have beginnings of stories that have been lying around for years that I can’t get back to finish. One has to prioritize. There will be stories in your mind that you never get to pen. For years, I’ve been hoping to find time to write a mystery based around a rock and roll band. Now, don’t steal my idea! But truthfully, I don’t mind sharing that idea because there is plenty of room for a few rock and roll mysteries on the book shelves today. The point is, when you submit your work to an editor or literary agent they sometimes agree with you that your idea is terrific but feel your name doesn’t have the clout to make them money. They turn you down, reject your book then tell their star author about the idea they came up with…your idea! Most of the time you won’t even find out your idea was stolen. This is the industry you’ve chosen to dabble in. Take solace in the fact that there are plenty of other industries just as shady!

So, how does a creative writer protect one’s self and their work while they wait to be discovered? My strategy, and it may not be the best strategy, has always been to keep doing what you do best. Write! Keep getting better and better at writing. Keep sending more and more work out there. Publish when and where you can regardless of the pay! Even if someone wants something for free. I wouldn’t spend too much time on a freebee unless it was for a good charitable cause but I wouldn’t turn down anyone who is willing to publish me. Consider the publicity and promotional worth of everything you publish more important than the actual pay you get. I know what it is like to yearn for a time when you will be finally able to quit that corny day job and write full time. But, you have to build your credibility in order to catch the eye of a webmaster paying top dollar per word. He wants the best writing on a subject period and the cold hard facts are these players would rather pay tons of money to steal a writer away from one of their competitors than take a chance on an unknown.

So, how do we get that good writing job, land that big contract, sell our first of many novels? Well, you are a writer, so you should use your strength, writing, to get people’s attention. Isn’t that why you write? You don’t write stuff then put it in a box so no one can see it. You want to be a ‘Paper Back Writer’ for the fame and recognition just like in the Beatles song. So let’s write and then let’s make sure everyone everywhere reads us! In this day and age the best medium to accomplish fame and then fortune is the internet. Now, most of you have been avoiding learning the ropes of internet marketing. I get it, you just want to write, and you aren’t a salesman! This attitude means you write an article that is great, post it on the web but no one knows it is there so only a few people read it. A competing writer writes and posts a similar article that isn’t nearly as well thought out or researched as yours but they know SEO, search engine optimization and SEM, search engine marketing and they understand social media so everyone reads their article. People tweet about your competitor’s article and re-post it on Facebook then your competitor gets the credit from all that and everyone hails him with praise. Eventually someone mentions your competitor’s name to a literary agent who signs him and all you have to say for yourself is “But I’m a much better writer than he is!”

Any writing career in 2013 and beyond means learning and knowing the internet. The more you know the better you will fare! Even if you sell all your writing offline, you will do much better if you market and promote yourself and your work online too! Getting a writing job offline is still the coveted goal. Writing hard and soft cover books still pay more and are more prestigious than downloads online due to the reputation that online books and online authors have since many people feel, anyone can publish a book himself online. And, since the reality is that many people do publish their own books online and plenty of them are subpar, the good writers suffer the consequences. Still you can’t fight a losing battle. If you want to be a writer today, you must promote yourself online. You need a website showing off your accomplishments and telling people where they can find all your work to read more and more. To get higher pay for your writing you must show you have a following. It’s no longer good enough to just submit your work. You have to add your bio and state how many followers you have on Facebook and Twitter because many editors, down want to be bothered.

If you need a strong inexpensive course on how to get traffic and visitors to your author website or writing blog, you will learn all you need here:
http://a.5rr5.co/s/3pfaph      only $5 dollars!

This will all lead to your being able to charge more for your writing!
