Writers, if you are struggling, you are not alone. It’s the typical state of mind for a serious writer! I stumbled on this and thought it worth sharing here. No endorsements intended or implied. Just food for thought and a few reasons to smile.

21 HARSH TRUTHS ABOUT WRITING
From Thought Catalog

1. The first draft of everything is shit. -Ernest Hemingway

2. Never use jargon words like reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally. They are hallmarks of a pretentious ass. -David Ogilvy

Why is It So Hard to Get Readers to Write Reviews?

Do you write reviews?..

Before I published my first and only book I must have read every article and every excerpt that came out about indie writing and publishing.

But the one thing they don’t tell you is how to get the readers to write a simple honest review.

I have to say that beside doing promotional stuff, getting readers to post a review has been the hardest part of writing.

But then I didn’t write many reviews before I became a published author either.

I had no idea writers count on reviews to sell their books.

But now that I do know I make sure I write a review as soon as I’m finished with the book.

It’s easy, just hit the star you think represents how much you liked the book, which for me is always at least a three.

When a man reaches out to those less fortunate he becomes a rich man..

People become Homeless because of Many reasons. In India, such People are Looked Down Upon, or More Often Ignored, etc. Whereas it seems that in the West they are even subjected to Violence. That much about the Situation.

Many People at Many times have set forth to help the Helpless. Through the blogs, I have come to know of DENNIS CARDIFF, who is a Writer and an Author, and gives of his time, energy and money to take care of these Have-nots. I have also come to know of his Book: GOTTA FIND A HOME.

Image: Screen capture from his site. Reference below. Mr. Cardiff, besides spending out of his own pocket to help out in various ways, has written:

‘All profits will be used to support those forced onto the streets and the Ottawa Innercity Ministries, Street Outreach Program.’

Here seems to be a Programme where the…

6 Ways Social Media Doesn’t Help You Get Published

What would an agent think if they saw one of your post on Twitter, or Facebook..

Carly Watters, Literary Agent

Does social media help or hinder the creative process?

So many writers are on Twitter and Facebook chatting with other people in the same position. Everything from sharing common experiences, information about who to query, and joining critique groups are part of the wonderful things social media can offer. There are a number of things not to share on social media and ways that social media interferes with your goal of getting published.

Many agents, including myself, look for writers on Twitter once we’re wowed by your query or writing samples. What we’re looking for is daily posts, something funny or intriguing and a voice that we want to get to know. Twitter is only 140 characters, but that’s ample room to show your chops as a writer and get your unique voice out there.

However, there are many cases where social media isn’t helping you:

1. You are over-sharing

With all this social networking and promotion I’m doing I somehow need to find the time to just write.
Yes writing is what I do. But being an indie has made it hard to find time to just write. It seems the blogs and social networks won’t take care of  themselves.  Opening the e-mails can take all day.
