The Things We Do...

 

Writer's Tips

Writing should be a social pursuit.

Writers group

If you know a few other writers it is often a help to form a writers group, say three to five people. Such groups can help to keep you focused on the writing and provide a critical eye for your work.

Welcome to Renegade Writing

After the bleeding obvious, writing is the second best thing a person can do with their time.

Writing can be anything from a simple family history to that novel that you have always wanted to write.

But, what about getting published. This is where one needs to look at their work. A couple of simple spelling mistakes in the first paragraph can cause your work to be rejected by the publisher. Unless you are very lucky, you won’t even be told why. You will just receive a standard rejection letter.

The fact is that publishers today just do not have the time to consider whether your work has merit. The first person to read your work is deciding whether you are professional in your work. This is judged, largely, on the impression of a couple of pages. Perhaps a single paragraph.

This brings us to the most important part of writing which is Editing.

I don't do Resumes

Resumes are without a doubt some of the world's finest fiction. There is no way to reliably check on claims made. The closest I will get to a resume is the About page on this site, sans fiction.
