Hello again it's Peter here from

Writer's life and today how to recharge

your motivation there are of course ups

and down periods in your life success is

easy to achieve when you're going

through an up period however when you're

going through a down period success can

be scarce when you encounter a down

period it can be so hard to stay

motivated upon waking up you relinquish

the thought of working the problem is if

you spend too much time in a down period

there's a chance you may never get out

when you feel yourself going through a

down period the best thing you can do is

to acknowledge it straight away

the first step to recharging your

motivation is becoming aware why you're

not motivated to work this usually comes

from pushing yourself too hard and not

taking your brave or is from

encountering a failure and you don't

have the will to push yourself forward

anymore once you're aware that you're

not motivated then you can put the focus

back on making yourself motivated again

it will not be an easy process and you

need to start small you can't go from

not working to suddenly wanting to work

10 hours a day again you can do this for

a week but I guarantee that you'll be

back to not working once the week is

over so start with working one hour each

day what you'll do

doesn't have to be intricately related

to work it could be a passion of project

it's anything just will get your mind

thinking again your end goal is to

create momentum for yourself once you

work an hour per day for a week then

increase it the following week and the

week

after so you're working eventually 8 to

10 hours per day again when you create

momentum for yourself

you're able to recharge your motivation

and get back to your old self

and don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get

access now while it's still available

simply go to

Hello there is Peter here again from

Writers Life and today alternatives to

writing a book many of us start out by

knowing that we have something inside us

a burning desire to put our thoughts

down on paper to express ourselves

through stories through our words the

natural choice seems to be to write a

novel this is the ultimate goal and

sometimes it feels as the writing a

novel is the only way to be a successful

writer the problem is that writing a

novel is hard it's time-consuming

challenging and we all know that there

are very slim chances that we will get

our books out there published and read

by many people so perhaps it's time that

writers considered the alternatives to

writing a book it's silly that novel

writing seems like the be-all and

end-all when there are so many more

options out there could it be that

writers put too many of their hopes and

dreams into writing their books when if

they had stopped and thought about what

they wanted to achieve it might be that

an alternative Avenue is better for them

but what are the alternatives to novel

writing that we can consider let's take

a look at some of them now first writing

a play whether for the stage or for

radio there are plenty of opportunities

to try your hand at playwriting imagine

access realizing your vision on the

stage or writing the next popular radio

drama this could be a fantastic and

creative alternative to writing a book

next writing a blog many authors write

blogs anyway but tend to try and juggle

these with their book writing perhaps

it's time to focus your attention on

your blog entirely

imagine what it could be if you put all

your efforts into it and wrote about

whatever you wanted blob writing can be

a great way to boost your profile and

debate money to the next short stories

instead of the mammoth task of writing a

book why not consider writing a short

story collection writing great short

stories requires real skill and is

always good practice if you do go on to

write a novel later a next poetry have

you ever considered trying to write a

poetry collection while being a novelist

doesn't necessarily translate to being

good at poetry it could be an exciting

side project or alternative writing

poetry can be very cathartic can help

you tap into your emotions and learn how

to be smart with language all great

skills for any writer a next article of

course there is also always the option

of writing articles as a freelance

writer while this may not fulfill your

creative needs as much as fiction

writing would freelance writing can be a

great way to keep practicing and if you

write about your passions you are sure

to enjoy as well as potentially make

some money too and next film or TV

scripts why not set your sights sky-high

and try to write something for the big

screen or the next popular TV sitcom

there are plenty of opportunities out

there to write scripts and it might just

end up making a hit so you see there's

no reason why you can't put as much

creativity and emotion and as much of

your heart and soul into writing any of

these things as you can with a novel

being a writer doesn't mean you have to

write a book so perhaps we should all

start thinking differently experimenting

with other projects and seeing if maybe

we can't find more success and more

satisfaction by turning our attention to

writing

different things and don't forget if

it's struggling to write or finish your

book our free writers toolkit can help

with it you'll learn how to overcome

procrastination get organized stay

focused

find time to write and finally get your

book published to get access to it now

while it's still available simply go to

a http://www.writerslife.org/toolkit

Hello its Peter here again from Writer's

life and today the best ways to enhance

creativity being creative is an integral

part of being a writer without

creativity our ideas dry up we find it

hard to concentrate and we can't get

into that beautiful writing zone where

the word seems to just flow freely from

creativity and being able to express

that creativity is crucial and makes us

happier healthier and more motivated to

however even the most creative writers

go through periods where they find it

difficult for the inspiration to keep

coming and it's all too easy to get

stuck in a downward spiral once that

happens for creativity doesn't like to

be pressured and sometimes the more we

try to be creative the less we find

incomes so what can we do to enhance our

creativity and keep those ideas coming

here are a few tips first get out there

it's hard to find inspiration by just

sitting in the same place day in and day

out

grab your noble and head out into the

world go for a walk sit on a bus head to

a cafe write down everything that

interests you and pay attention to the

little details of things next listen to

music music can be so inspiring creates

playlists of tunes that you know will

uplift you energize you

and boost your mood the effects of music

to make us feel differently is powerful

so use it to your advantage

and next meditates or just be silenced

sometimes you just need to try and let

go of everything clear your head and

just be silent for a while

meditation is excellent for learning to

relieve your mind and let go so why not

give it a try and next get a second

opinion talking things through to make

all the difference so don't be afraid to

us for help when you feel as though you

are stuck with your writing bouncing

ideas of someone else and just being

around other creative people can leave

you feeling inspired and motivated once

more uh next my favorite have a glass of

wine this might not be for everyone but

having a glass of your favorite tipple

to put you in just the right frame of

mind to get you right in once more

and next exercise exercise is known to

release feel-good endorphins which will

help you relax and feel positive and

confident essentially greed ingredients

when it comes to optimizing your

creativity a next sleep if we are

sleep-deprived we are more likely to

feel anxious overwhelmed and stressed

out make sure you get enough sleep to

keep you feeling fresh and focused all

day long a next tried something new a

new experience can leave us feeling

exhilarated and creative so if you're

stuck in the same old routine doing the

same things day in and day out

perhaps it's time to shake things up a

little and next write down your problem

if you think it might be creatively

blocked because you have other things on

and try writing them down writing our

problems down to put them in in

perspective they also mean you have

acknowledged them while allowing you to

set them aside for a while so you can

get on with your writing and so there

you have it

next time you're feeling a little

creatively blocked try these tips to

enhance your creativity and sue you

should get those creative juices flowing

once more and don't forget if you're

struggling to write or finish your book

our free writers toolkit can help with

it you'll learn how to overcome

procrastination get organized stay

focused

find time to write and finally get your

book published to get access now while

it's still available simply go to

toolkit that's it for now be sure to

Hello there it's Peter here again from

Writer's life and today what skills does

a good writer need when it comes to

being a successful writer it's about so

much more than merely putting pen to

paper there are so many skills that a

writer needs to employ not only to write

well but also to cope with the stresses

and pressures of the job working on all

your skills will keep you being of the

very best you can be

so let's take a look at the strengths

and skills every writer needs and how we

can work on them to become better more

productive and proficient at what we do

so first of all communication skills

being able to openly express your ideas

is what being a writer is all about of

course it's important to be able to do

so on paper however having the ability

to speak about your ideas to summarize

them succinctly and also listen to

feedback from others and ask the right

questions is also so useful when it

comes to realizing your writing vision

next observation and detail writers need

to be super observant they need to have

their eyes wide open at all times and

pay attention to the little details of

things being observance is not just

about looking around you however it's

also noticing the way people behave

interact and react and the ability to

understand and tune in to their

motivations for doing so being a great

observer of the world will help you

develop your characters and create your

own fictional worlds in an authentic and

exciting way next problem-solving all

writers come up against various problems

as

and being a good problem solver is so

important you need to be able to analyze

your ideas as well as be impartial and

notice the strengths and weaknesses in

your text and come up with workable

solutions to help your characters

overcome obstacles and improve your

writing as a whole and next patience and

calm writing is all about playing the

long game not only can it take a long

time to pull together a great piece of

work but waiting to hear back from

publishers takes ages to being calm and

positive about your writing even in the

face of rejection will also keep you on

the right track and minimize time spent

wallowing at next fearlessness writers

need to be brave they need to take risks

to step outside their comfort zone and

be ok with launching themselves into the

unknown playing it safe just doesn't

work for writers so make sure you always

write with courage and next spelling

grammar and punctuation skills yes on a

more practical note writers should

always work to improve their spelling

grammar and punctuation doing so will

enable them to craft a better prose from

the outset a reduced time spent editing

to next research skills an excellent

piece of writing usually requires a lot

of research being a good researcher

takes practice you need to know where to

find information the right questions to

ask and which bits of what you have

learned to include in your story to make

it more believable researching is a

skill that doesn't come naturally to all

writers but the more you do the better

you

will become when it comes to being a

good writer it's all about dedication

and practice if you want to be a

professional and productive writer it's

essential that you understand what

skills you need and keep working on them

to continually improve and don't forget

if you're struggling to write or finish

your book our free writers toolkit can

help with it you'll learn how to

overcome procrastination get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get

access now while it's still available

Hello it's Peter here again from Writer's

life and today avoid these blogging

mistakes every writer knows that one of

the ways you can attract a larger

following and connect with your fans is

by writing a blog however many writers

feel that they don't have the time or

would rather concentrate on that

fictional work well blogging doesn't

come naturally to all writers it's

something that can be incredibly helpful

when it comes to reaching new readers

and keeping in touch with your old ones

don't know wrong however and blogging

can damage your writing reputation so

here are some of the most prominent

blogging mistakes that should you decide

to write one of your own you should

avoid at all costs first you try to do

too much too soon set yourself realistic

goals when it comes to blogging if you

can only write one blog a week that's

fine

one good blog is better than seven half

odds and wonders as long as you are

consistent your readers will come to

know when they can expect new content

from you at the same time don't blog too

infrequently otherwise they will just

forget about earlier altogether a next

try too hard you should aim feel blog to

be informative and entertaining this

doesn't mean that you have to turn into

a comedian overnight

write what you know be human and tried

to pepper your writing with the odd bit

of humor now and again if he tried too

hard to be witty or funny the risk is

you could come across as rather

patronizing and annoying which will turn

readers away from you instead be clear

and compelling and people will respect

you for that

and next you'll I don't try to entice

your readers in with overly dramatic

headlines and then disappointing or

completely irrelevant content by all

means write catchy headlines that will

get readers to take notice of

click-through but if he consistently

under-deliver they'll soon catch on and

not bother to engage with your blog at

all next you can't accept criticism now

as writers you'd think we would all be

perfectly accustomed to accepting

people's not so complimentary reactions

to our world the truth is however it's

always going to hurt and if someone

doesn't like what you've written and

lets you know about it this can be hard

to take your might think because you've

spent your time carefully crafting a

blog post that you think will be helpful

and useful to your readers that they

should be happy to receive it well

unfortunately it just doesn't work like

that

use readers comments as feedback and try

to improve accept that not everyone will

like what you do if you can't do this

and any negative feedback is likely to

make you retreat into your writing shell

and never venture back out then perhaps

blogging is not for you but next you

hate it at the end of the day if you

really can't stand blogging it's so

likely that you're going to keep reserve

blogging is tricky you need to fill up

with new ideas for context and need to

set aside time at least each week to

write edit upload and share your

for them to have any effect at all

remember blogging is not the be-all and

end-all when it comes to marketing your

work so if you really can't stand it

it's probably not worth spending your

time on and don't forget if he's

struggling to write or finish your book

our free writers toolkit can help with

it you'll learn how to overcome

procrastination get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published direct

Hello it's Peter here again from Writer's

life and today how to make each day

effective when you wake up in the

morning what do you plan to do with your

day or perhaps you don't even have your

day planned

millions of people wake up without a

plan or even a goal set to make each day

effective you need to set many goals for

yourself when the Sun Goes Down and the

day comes to a close what do you wish

you will have accomplished most people

don't get the life they want because

they don't live each day effectively the

many goals you set for yourself should

lead you to a bigger goal the mini

course will lead to your weekly goals

which leads your monthly goals which in

turn will lead to your yearly goals what

you do today will impact how your year

goes you only have so much time in a day

so why waste it when you are setting

mini goals for yourself set 5 of them

for each day once you accomplish the 5

goals for the day you're done you can of

course do more but to keep yourself

hungry I'd recommend stopping at 5

before you burn out 5 tasks per day

might not sound a lot but that's 25 or

even 35 every week in a month you'll

have completed over a hundred tasks

towards your goals each task you

complete gets you to a better life if

you find that some goals take longer

maybe only set three goals for a certain

day sometimes I only set one goal for

myself because the goal is so big and I

know that I won't have time to complete

the other tasks the purpose of setting

mini goals is so you have a direction of

where you want to go with your day

otherwise you'll arrive at the

destination you don't want to be ants

when you set five mini goals for

yourself each day will be effective and

don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get

hi I'm Jody from WritersLife.org
and today we'll be talking about what book

editors hate a piece of advice every

writer should follow is to hire a

professional editor to go through their

work once they have completed their book

however to actually prepare your

manuscript for that stage it's a good

idea to be aware of the common pitfalls

that writers fall into and if you know

what editors hate you can make their

lives easier and save you time and money

too not only is it good to look out for

and fix the mistakes that editors hate

before you send your book to them but

also for when you send your book to

publishers and agents if you want them

to seriously consider your work checking

that you have already eliminated any of

these editors bugbears from your book

before you send it off will give you a

much better chance of success so what is

it that editors hates let's take a look

no basic grasp of grammar or spelling if

every second word is a spelling mistake

and every sentence is punctuated

incorrectly it's going to take a huge

effort and many hours to get through

your book this will mean editors have

less time to concentrate on structure

character development and plot elements

which is important to receive feedback

on do yourself a favor and run your

manuscript through a spelling and

grammar check before you pass it on to

an editor huge passages focusing on

backstory having backstory is a useful

device for establishing your characters

and allowing the readers insight into

their past lives however if you focus

too much on backstory both the editor

and the reader will get bored include

details that are relevant and necessary

cut the rest out an entire chapter where

the character is walking somewhere

driving somewhere or sitting in bed

reminiscing an excellent book will be

fast paced and full of action if the

character spends too much time getting

somewhere or reminiscing about something

this slows down the pace of your book a

pet peeve of editors melodrama making

your story overly dramatic and make it

seem farcical and unbelievable readers

need to buy into your story to believe

it

editor's know that and so should you

making the same point over and over

again if you draw out a point

laboriously or repeat it in different

ways over and over again it simply looks

like you're trying to hit a word count

rather than write a story that appeals

to your readers you say something well

you only need to say it once going into

too much detail creativity is all about

having poetic license and beautiful

descriptions can be really effective in

a book and enhance your story

significantly however when you spend an

entire paragraph describing a vase in

your character's living room it better

seriously be significant otherwise you

need to cut it down over writing is a

big no-no for editor silly

inconsistencies when you are editing and

redrafting your novel look out for

inconsistencies these can be anything

from where character is standing to the

time of year inconsistencies are easy to

make but will frustrate your editor as

these should be picked up by you

repetitive vocabulary if you

continuously use the same descriptive

word this will quickly get tiresome for

your readers try to be unique and

exciting with all of your descriptions

if you know you've overused a word try

doing a Find and Replace search of your

manuscript so you can easily pick these

up and change them long passages of

dialogue dialogue creates immediacy can

drive the action forward and reveals

more about your characters however don't

turn every piece of dialogue into a

massive speech or monologue use it as a

device to break up the narrative instead

telling rather than showing editors hate

it when you tell the reader something

rather than showing them comb through

your novel and pick up instances of when

you're doing this this will save your

editor having to point them all out for

you if you can go through your

manuscript before you send it to an

editor agent or publisher and look out

for these 10 things you make their and

your lives so much easier so make sure

you take the time to edit your book

first thoroughly and you'll find you get

so much more out of your editor and are

Hello it's Peter here again from Writer's

life and today tips on how to bring

order to your writing writing is often a

chaotic and messy process often we have

so many ideas that we end up drowning in

a pile of half written sentences scraps

of paper a middle-of-the-night thought

so we have sleepily scribbled on a book

cover and now only partially makes sense

so how do you create order from the

chaos collating all your bits and pieces

of ideas can be tricky but if you can

find a system that works for you so weed

out all your creative flotsam and jetsam

you will find it so much easier to pick

out the great ideas from the nonsense

and hopefully then begin to turn them

into a brilliant piece of work here then

are some great tips to help you bring

order to your writing first create a

space filled chaos chaos book works

really well for this it could be a

notice board where you can stick up all

your scraps of paper sticky notes or

whatever else you've used to scribble on

or a black board or just stick some

large sheets of paper up on your wall

use this to capture your writing ideas

develop characters or note down

observations sentences or words which

you might want to use in your writing at

a later date having all these in one

place and a place where you can see them

all together at a glance will help you

order them together spend some time

moving them around and see what relates

to what or which ideas you can pull

together and expand on and next free

write often when trying to make sense of

an idea it can be a tough task trying to

put pen to paper and phrasing exactly

as you would like free writing is a

great way to simply let go and let your

imagination run wild to do this sit down

and start writing write whatever comes

into your head and don't stop if you

can't think of something to write simply

keep repeating the last word over and

over and to the yeah going again free

writing is simply about getting as used

to writing without that unhelpful in a

critique looming over us look back over

your free writing once a week and pick

out anything useful from the stream of

consciousness

you'll be amazed and how many little

gems you'll find next draft redraft and

then redraft again your first draft is

never going to be your final piece no

matter how good you think it is writing

is a craft and it takes practice to

perfect it you should always let

yourself write freely at first then

leave it for at least a day or two

before you look at it again bringing

order to your writing is all about

letting yourself go and then reining

yourself back in sentence by sentence

the pause here is important if you spend

hours on end fretting over your work

trying to perfect it putting sentences

here and there and changing bits of the

story there you could end up making it

into more of a mess always allow

yourself time to reflect before you go

back to your story a fresh mindset will

help you look at it objectively and

clearly see what works and what doesn't

writing chaotically is part of the fun

of being a writer letting your

imagination run wild and allowing

yourself be in a place where anything

goes can potentially be very therapeutic

however one of the most rewarding times

is when

sit down and work through the chaos when

you find those ideas that excite you

that give you that little spark that

nervous flutter that makes you think you

may just be on to something really good

and don't forget if he's struggling to

write or finish your book try our free

writers toolkit with it you'll learn how

to overcome procrastination get

organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get

your copy now while it's still available

save particularly when you are just

starting out as you get more used to the

rule

you may find that patterns emerge so you

end up knowing when times are more

likely to be quiet for you and can

adjust your spending accordingly next be

super organized if you want happy

hello there is Peter here again from

Writer's life and today past all present

tense the pros and cons when creating

any new piece of writing selecting the

tense in which to write is often

something and also struggles with not

longer your writing in the past tense

was strongly favored and particularly

with works of fiction it was very rare

to find a novel written in the present

tense however in recent years this has

changed and we have seen a shift to the

present tense with some writers

believing that writing using the past

tense makes the work itself seem somehow

old-fashioned so what has made the past

tense increasingly unpopular and the

present tense

now the tense of choice well it seems

for most seasoned writers it's an

instinctive and natural decision however

for many novice writers this is just

another choice to fret over so it's

important to understand what they have

Vantage's and disadvantages of each

might be so here we've broken these down

so authors can make an informed choice

when deciding which tends to write in so

first the present tense the prose

present tense creates immediacy in a way

that the past tense cannot it allows the

reader to experience changes in the

story and changes to its characters as

they happen this creates a bond between

the reader and characters as they

experience things together

simultaneously therefore tension

suspense and drama can be more easily

calm

vade characters become more lifelike and

tangible and real and selecting the

present tense when describing a

character truly reflects their nature

drawing the reader closer to them the

use of the present tense also reflects

the overall theme of the book if your

book tells the story of events that

happened to your main character in the

past but he or she tells them in the

present tense the effect can be very

powerful simply by telling the events in

this way the author is hinting at a past

that is very much part of the narrator's

presence and perhaps will always be so

using the present tense in your work

also simplifies how we use the other

tenses in the story when writing in the

past tense is slightly that a writer

will dip in and out of the other 12

tenses that we use in the English

language however using the present tense

restricts our use of the others with the

majority of stories written in the

present tense only using the simple

present the present progressive and

occasionally the simple past and simple

future even then the majority of the

writing is likely to be kept in the

simple present this simplicity can be

used cleverly to the writers advantage

conveying clear ideas and allowing the

reader to fully immerse themselves in

the story with no confusion about when

the events took place and now the

present tense the comments

if employing the present tense in our

writing

we become restricted with how we can

describe time try to manipulate a

sequence of events or change the

chronological order will be difficult

and potentially confusing to the reader

the point of the present tense is to

tell a series of events as they unfold

if you don't want to evoke the feeling

that what you are writing is happening

now then the present tense is not a good

choice building a multi-layered

characters is more of a challenge if you

use the present tense because you can no

longer influence the order of events or

the duration it's difficult to put

across the characters own personal

experience of the time how they

understand the past the more context we

have for a character the more we are

able to understand them and their

motivations for why they are a certain

way now without the kind of context

flashbacks into the past there is a risk

of the characters committeth across as

tediously uncomplicated suspense is

harder to convey with a story written in

the present tense the protagonists of a

present tense story don't have any idea

what is going to happen to them from one

moment to the next and subsequently

neither does the reader tension and

suspense come from having that knowledge

knowing that something is about to

happen whether the protagonist is aware

of it or not

finally if we are not careful use of the

present tense can cause us to be sloppy

while the past tense allows us to write

selectively and only include necessary

plot advancing details

using the present tense more naturally

encourages inclusion of mundane

irrelevant details because such events

will happen in a natural sequence of

time before beginning any work it is

worth thinking about which tense will

best suit your story each have their own

advantages which if use Cleverley could

enhance your work whatever you do make

sure you pick wisely as it's certainly

not an easy job to go back and change

when you are halfway through your book

and don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get that book published to get

access now while it's still available

Hi I'm Jody from Writerslife.org and today

we'll be talking about my failing can

lead to success

most people are free to failure when

they shouldn't be people let failure

dictate how they live and by doing that

they never reach their full potential in

fact failing often leads to success

I understand failing can be scary you're

normal to think you shouldn't want to

fail however those who are successful

are failing every day that's one of

their secrets to success when you go

through school you're told failing can

be bad and become discouraged from it

you take on this notion that failure is

bad or you'll be looked down upon if you

fail when most people don't realize is

that failure will get you one step

closer to success while also allowing

you to become resilient if you're not

failing you will never get ahead I want

you to understand the person who feels

the most and doesn't give up will be

successful how because if you continue

to put in the work no matter what

happens eventually you will achieve

success no one likes to fail and if you

get back up after each failure it will

pay in dividends if you're not feeling

how will you ever know how far you can

actually go each of us has so much

potential that never gets realized you

can achieve your wildest dreams if you

just allow yourself to fail when you

achieve your desired success how much

sweeter is it going to be and if it were

handed to you by failing your

achievement will feel that much better

think of anyone who has become

successful whether that's Steve Jobs or

Thomas Edison they both failed and they

were never perfect but they let their

failures take them to their greatest

achievements if they gave up at the

first sight of failure we would have

never known their names when you start

on the path of failure just realize that

you're one step closer to success and

don't forget if you're having a hard

time writing or finishing your book

check out our free writers tool kit it

can help you overcome procrastination

hello its Peter here again from Writer's

Life and today how to write useful a

chapter outlines writing chapter

outlines can be an incredibly helpful

way of staying organized and motivated

to write your story many writers choose

to write chapter outlines before they

begin their book doing so means they can

see for sure that their story will work

it's a more detailed overview of the

plot down and how to ensure that each

chapter drives the story forward so what

sort of things are useful to include in

a chance at outline let's take a look

first focus on the key plot points

remember while your chunks are our lines

should be thorough

you also want to keep it succinct focus

on the key events that will take place

at the chapter note down the action

points and make sure they fit into your

story as a whole

next describe how your character feels

at the beginning and the end take some

time to think about how your character

is feeling at the beginning of each

chapter and how the events that take

place throughout it change them remember

your character should always be growing

and changing so make sure that you take

their emotions into account and next how

does each chapter flow to and from the

next each of your chapters should fit

seamlessly into your story and flow from

one to the other when creating your

chapter outline is to make sure they fit

into your overall plot if they feel

disjointed ask yourself if they are

really Ness

does your chapter start and end in a way

that grips the reader make sure that

every chapter in your book is gripping

it should start by immediately drawing

the reader in and immersing them in the

scene and should end in such a way that

they want to keep on turning those pages

next how does the chapter advance the

story

each chapter needs to have a purpose by

the time the reader has finished the

chapter the story should have moved on

if the chapter doesn't advance a story

it might need a revision or removal from

the book altogether remember to review

your chapter outlines frequently chapter

outlines shouldn't be rigid they need to

be flexible as when you begin to write

your story you could end up going on a

different track and that's okay just

make sure you review your chunks and

outlines while you were writing your

book and prepare to change them if

necessary spending time and making an

effort to write chapter outlines that

are really useful can make all the

difference when you begin to write your

novel providing structure and allowing

you to see your story as a whole so

whether you're just starting out or even

if you are halfway through writing your

novel

consider using chapter outlines to help

you write more efficiently and make sure

your story stays on the right track now

don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized stay focused

find time to write and finally get your

book published to get access now while

it's still available simply go to

great Stephen King said if you don't

have time to read you don't have the

time all the tools to write it's as

simple as that the great news is that

reading is a brilliant pastime too when

you're truly immersed in a great book

there's nothing quite like it you're

lost in another world and you can truly

let go of the stresses and strains of

everyday life so just how does reading

influence and improve your writing let's

take a look first it inspires you

reading as much as you possibly can is

by far the best way to get inspiration

for your work that's not to say you

should set out with the goal of copying

or pinching and other author's ideas but

allowing yourself to be inspired by

their work and purposely thinking about

the elements of their stories that

you'll love and how you could use them

in your own writing just makes good

sense and next it teaches you when you

read you are learning from the grades

your favorite authors are probably

pretty successful and by reading their

work and that of others you'll

understand that it's that that makes a

great story this knowledge is invaluable

to any writer and the more you read the

more insights

you'll discover next it helps you to get

to know as onra better and learn its

rules when you know what genre your book

is it's a good idea to read as many

books as possible those are in the same

genre doing so will help you discover

the various patterns that make a book

fall into that category and you'll begin

to understand the common themes and the

rules which can help you make sure that

when you write your own story you're

following these and are therefore more

likely to make it appeal to the right

readers

next it widens your vocabulary improves

your grammar skills and opens your eyes

to new techniques the more you read the

more educators you become not just

around the topics you read but also the

tools and structures that are necessary

to make a story flow well you will have

a more extensive vocabulary using

language creatively will come more

naturally to you and the way to pull

sentences together will also improve

think about it do you know any painters

who don't love art any musicians who

refuse to listen to music all creative

artistic people are passionate about

their art as a whole and use it to help

them become better at what they do the

same goes for writers without love and

passion for reading it will be so

difficult to come up with a story that

other people will love and enjoy too so

if you only take away one piece of

advice as a writer then it should be to

read read anything and everything your

life and the more you do the more

empowered knowledgeable and creative

you'll become now don't forget if you're

struggling to write or finish your book

procrastination get organized

Hi I'm Jodi from Writer'sLife.org and

today we'll be talking about how to

write the best romance novel ever

there's big money in writing a great

romance novel while other genres rise

and fall in popularity take fantasy for

example romance tends to be consistently

in demand so if you can write compelling

romance novel then you could potentially

see it turn into a timeless classic some

people think that writing romance should

be easy all you need is a strong

handsome hero and a beautiful heroine

who develop a relationship against all

odds right well this isn't entirely

untrue romance novels as with any genre

of writing tend to follow a formula

which makes them work the typical

romance needs a man and a woman who fall

in love yet there must be conflict and

struggle to make it interesting

the lovers must be kept apart they must

overcome obstacles and the readers must

be kept wondering and worrying whether

they will ever be able to truly be

together so how do you create this

conflict that keeps your main characters

apart your characters need goals and

reasons for these goals their goal is to

drive the plot forward and be the main

focus in terms of storyline however they

can also be used to create the conflict

between the characters and build up

dramatic tension perhaps their goals and

aspirations act as blocks which mean

your characters don't get together until

the very ends your characters goals need

to be hugely important to them and the

consequences of them not achieving their

goals should be severe there should

always be conflict in a romance novel

and this conflict should make the

readers wonder whether the characters

will actually end up the other or

tragically not how will your characters

relationship develop whether their love

is forbidden in some way think Romeo and

Juliet's they actively dislike each

other in the beginning they are best

friends who never thought of each other

that way or perhaps their histories are

entwined somehow but they are actually

yet to meet thinking carefully about

higher characters lives are intertwined

and how the relationship develops needs

to be interesting from the start your

character must be likeable for not

boring remember that romance novels are

generally character driven therefore it

is paramount that readers can engage

with the protagonists identify with them

in some way and

they want them it's to be together

remember to make your characters flawed

and imperfect your readers need to like

them otherwise they won't care whether

they end up together or not and the

success of your romance depends on your

readers emotionally investing in the

relationship and caring what happens to

your characters try to avoid stereotypes

some heroes and heroines have been done

to death and if you want to make your

romance novel stand out then think of

ways to make them more original both in

appearance and personality your ending

makes all the difference most people

tend to think of romance novels as books

that end happily of course this isn't

always the case there are plenty of

novels that could be classed as romance

novels but are also tragedies deciding

on whether your novel will end happily

well most likely depend on whether your

characters get together and live happily

ever after

or not of course your characters could

end up together but the sacrifices they

had to make to be together along the way

may mean the ending is bittersweet your

characters might not end up together at

all or perhaps they do and the story

answers the kiss a proposal and a

wedding writing a romance novel can be

lots of fun and following a few simple

rules you have the basic ingredients

needed to get started and then you can

really let your imagination run wild

don't forget if you're having a hard

time writing or finishing your book

can help you overcome procrastination

get organized stay focused and get your

Hi I'm Jody from writer'sLife.org and

say we'll be talking about indie authors

and the mistakes not to make being an

independent author takes courage and

determination and the rise of indie

author has been truly spectacular by

putting the power back in the writers

hands where before you had to be a

Headey combination of exceptional and

lucky to get published now good

old-fashioned hard work just might do it

if you are willing to put in the time

and work and give your all to your book

publishing project you may just get the

results you've been dreaming up however

let's face it most of us are pretty new

to the whole publishing world and are

pretty clueless when it comes to the

do's and don'ts of taking control of our

work it's fair to say that most

independent authors when they first

start out on their self-publishing

journey do you'll end up making a fair

few mistakes this isn't necessarily a

bad thing

mistakes are just lessons learned and

the more you make the more you'll

understand about the whole process

however being that there are lots of

things to consider here are some rules

and values that are a good idea to set

for yourself in order to keep you on the

straight path let's take a look at some

of them forgetting to research your

reader and your genre self-publishing

has given authors a fantastic

opportunity to get their work out there

into the world for all to see there are

so many rules around the way one should

write the restrictions of the genres

rewriting and the expectations of our

readers it is good to understand them as

much as possible for example if you have

written a romance novel research your

audience find out what they want and

what they expect from you that's not to

say you shouldn't give them any credit

however we are sometimes led to believe

that if we dare think outside the box in

terms of genre or try breaking some of

the rules our readers will run screaming

into the night believe it or not

sometimes change is embraced and

celebrated if you truly believe in your

story and changing it will feel like you

are selling out then don't do it be true

to yourself

and that's the most important thing

thinking you could do it all by yourself

if you don't get a professional editor

and designer to help you chances are

your book is going to look pretty shabby

against the competition you wouldn't buy

a dress with a hole in it so why should

you reader buy your book if it is full

of glaring mistakes and inconsistencies

if you care about your book and

to build up a fanbase then get the cover

designed by someone who knows what

they're doing and get an editor to at

the very least weed out any spelling

mistakes and inconsistencies printing

loads of copies of your book without a

distribution deal in place if you are an

unknown author chances are you aren't

going to be living in the castle and

eating your caviar for breakfast

so don't pour every last penny into

buying thousands of copies of your book

if you haven't got anyone lined up to

buy them you'll just end up with no

money low self-esteem and a lot less

space in your house order a handful of

copies to give out but that's it

remember while bulk printing may seem

cheaper you'll probably lose out in the

long run giving up after your first book

did you know that most authors find much

greater success on releasing their

second novel well it's true think about

it this way so many people dream of

writing a book and yet most people don't

if you've already done so and you are

miles ahead of those would-be authors

who simply can't find the time or energy

to write their stories now think about

all the writers who stopped after their

first novel especially if it doesn't do

very well let me tell you it is Lots if

you persevere you are constantly

knocking out the competition and you'll

only get better with time to just keep

writing keep focusing on your dreams and

you'll get there so don't give up there

are some of the most common mistakes new

indie authors can make what other advice

can you share we'd love to hear from you

don't forget if you're having a hard

time writing or finishing your book

check out our free writer's tool kit it

can help you overcome procrastination

get organized stay focused and get your

book published just have a

Hello it's Peter here again from writers

life and today why your lack of focus is

holding you back have you ever thought

what's stopping you from becoming

successful you could probably say a lack

of money resources or you don't quite

know where to begin well the only thing

holding you back from starting a

successful business or becoming a

best-selling author is your lack of

focus when you like focus you can't get

anything done you're sleeping in or

playing on your phone when you don't

focus on the task at hand

you'll be unproductive and when you're

unproductive you'll fall into a life of

mediocrity and that's not what you want

some people spend countless hours each

day surfing the net or surfing their

phone or watching Netflix and can't

understand why they're not successful

well it's simple if you wish to become

successful you need to become focused

and focus like anything else is a habit

but how exactly do you become more

focused the number one step to becoming

more focused is through eliminating

distractions this means when you work on

a single task you work on that task

alone you don't pick up your phone or

browse the internet when you are done

with one task you move on to another

task your goal should be to complete

five tasks each day these are the five

tasks that will push you forward to your

desired success once you complete your

five tasks for the day then you're done

you can have as much lack of focus as

you want after that the key is this only

happens

once you finish your five tasks for the

day when you get control of your focus

you can become successful now don't

forget

if you're struggling to write or finish

your book our free writers toolkit can

help with it you'll learn how to

overcome procrastination get organized

stay focused find the time to write and

finally get your book finished to get

access now while it's still available

Hello its Peter here again from Writer's

Life and today how not to sound like a

pretentious writer when it comes to

writing whether it's fact or fiction

it's easy to sound pretentious this can

happen for many reasons be it that our

egos want the reader to know how

intelligent we are or that we think

readers won't enjoy our writing if we

don't make it as smart as possible

however the problem with putting too

much effort into writing intellectually

is that not only does it slow us down

and make this overthink things it can

also act as a distraction when it comes

to getting our point across or advancing

our plot so what can you do to ensure

that you don't sound too like a

pretentious writer try these useful tips

first check your language using an

abundance of long and complicated words

could put your reader off every time

they have to check the meaning of a word

you have effectively taken them out of

the story

if this happens too often it'll be

impossible to keep up either they just

won't be able to immerse themselves in

your novel or they just won't understand

it reading your writing allow it to get

an idea of whether it flows well or

feels too convoluted and complicated is

also a good idea next identify your

reader when it comes to avoiding

pretentious writing knowing who your

reader is can help think about who you

are hoping will read and appreciate your

work

if you're writing a fictitious story for

the general population you should try to

avoid creating a piece of writing that

is overly complex the average reading

level for an American adults is that of

a seventh or eighth grader an age nine

years old in the UK so it's essential to

bear this in mind as you write next have

fun with your writing writing should be

fun

and if you're not having fun and

enjoying what you do you're less likely

to get bogged down in trying to make

your writing seem too clever your

enjoyment and enthusiasm will come

through in your book and will mean your

readers enjoy reading your work more to

the more sincere and truthful you are

with your story the more genuine and

authentic it will seem too next don't

over complicate your plot an overly

complicated plot can be difficult to

follow and can confuse your readers well

it's great to be smart and surprise your

readers if you try too hard to confuse

them or make your story too complicated

to follow

they are simply lose interest and may

give up altogether don't over punctuate

over punctuating or try to be too smart

with your use of punctuation can also be

considered pretentious and may be

off-putting to your reader some authors

do choose to use punctuation as a

stylistic technique in their writing

however if you aren't sure it works it's

probably best and to leave it out by

following these tips you could ensure

your writing doesn't come across as

pretentious or confusing while still

being able to write with style remember

you can write however you like but if

you want your writing to be enjoyed by

others you do always have to keep your

reader in

mind now don't forget if you're

struggling to write or finish your book

our free writers toolkit can help with

it you'll learn how to overcome

procrastination get organized stay

focused

find types are right and finally get

your book published to get access now

Hello there is Peter here again from

Writer's Life and today why stepping

outside your comfort zone is pivotal to

your success think about it do you know

anyone who's ever become successful by

staying within their comfort zone no you

don't because it's not possible when

you're going out into the world and

working on creating a better life for

yourself you're getting outside of your

comfort zone most people aren't like

that they like to stay within that

comfort zone

why do people stay within their comfort

zone I don't think most people dream of

working a dead-end job it's because when

they're growing up somewhere along the

line someone shot their dream down and

they've been believing that ever since

this could have come from a teacher or a

parent

perhaps friends are you one of those

people who had their dream shot down or

maybe you think you're not good enough

to succeed all you're doing is making

excuses for yourself why you're not

successful I understand getting outside

of your comfort zone is not easy I'm not

saying you should quit your job to start

them open-ended business idea you could

start to side hustle so eventually

you'll be able to quit your job and

you're into your business full-time

allowing you to get outside of your

comfort zone the life you desire to live

is on the other side of your comfort

zone if you're willing to push past any

fears you have you can get anything you

want

any athlete or businessperson had to

face their fears to achieve success when

you go through life you can become

complacent you fall into the same

day to day routine without notice before

you know it 50 years of your life has

passed I don't think you want to be that

person by taking risks stepping outside

your comfort zone you can begin to live

by deciding to step outside your comfort

zone you're deciding to make your own

life and forge a path of your own

destiny

now don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized stay focused

find time to write and finally get your

book published get access now while it's

Hello its Peter here again from Writer's

Life and today free up more time for

your writing how many times have you

said to yourself I could finish my novel

if only I didn't have to go to work

or to look after the kids or cook dinner

every night

it always seems that no matter how hard

we try there are never enough hours in

the day and since writing that novel

isn't an essential that s what gets put

on the backburner time and time again

however if we're really honest with

ourselves is it actually time that's

holding us back

think about it we get the same 24 hours

in every single day of our lives and

every single day we can make a choice

about what we do with them you have as

much time as the next person so when you

look at the author who juggles three

different writing jobs at busy family

life loads of social commitments yet

still manages to keep the novel's coming

remember that they have been given

exactly the same amount of time as you

writers make time for writing so can you

you just need to figure out how the

first thing you need to do and try to

find more time is to figure out how you

actually spend it at the moment write

down everything that you do each day

over the course of a week or to pay

attention to every little part of your

day and make sure you make a note of it

find the gaps reassess the things that

you're doing see where actually you are

wasting time and where you could

rearrange things to save time you'll

soon see that there are plenty of ways

you can free up time in your schedule to

make your writing happy

your relationship with time is down to

how you manage it and there are loads of

ways to change the pattern that you

currently find yourself in or indeed

make an entirely new one which leaves

you time to concentrate on doing the

things that you love the most sometimes

however when we make space to sit down

and write it can all go horribly wrong

if our days are tightly structured and

we have an hour reserved as writing time

yet when we sit down to get on with it

the creativity just isn't there just

remember that that's okay putting too

much pressure on yourself to write

amazingly well now is going to result in

you feeling trapped and therefore

rebelling against yourself

for instance refusing to write because

you have told yourself you must this

never works as we simply become more

frustrated with ourselves and end up

feeling guilty and annoyed and with

nothing to show for it either

however practice makes perfect it's all

about getting yourself into a good

routine once you've established this it

will become so much easier to write

productively

in those little windows you've opened

for yourself

and even if you feel you can't write

simply try to do something creative and

productive develop your characters write

a business plan for your book do some

research whatever it takes to advance

your novel and fill that time with

something that you can pat yourself on

the back for it'll leave you feeling

satisfied once you've done this a few

times and remove the pressure you'll

begin to relax and that's when the real

writing will start to flow we are not

given time to write we have to take it

and if you're serious about establishing

yourself as a writer then you have to

take it any way in which you can

unfortunately the universe your partner

your boss the kids may not say so you've

decided to write oh I never knew in that

case please have these three undisturbed

hours to yourself where no one will

bother you but that doesn't mean you

can't find the space to create writing

time

the reality is that no one cares more

about your writing than you do but if

you do care then there is no doubt that

you will find time to do it

now don't forget if you're struggling to

write or finish your book our free

writers toolkit can help with it you'll

learn how to overcome procrastination

get organized

stay focused find time to write and

finally get your book published to get

access now while it's still available

Hi I'm Jody from Writer's Life network

and today we'll be talking about five

things you need to know to create the

perfect villain creating characters for

your stories is one of the most exciting

and enjoyable parts of being a writer

and while we all have characters that we

completely fell in love with there is

nothing quite as satisfying as writing a

brilliant twisted villain villains are

so interesting they create contrast they

are the ones we love to hate they are

complex emotionally disturbed terrifying

figures and with them we can really let

our imaginations run wild trying to

create a character that you want your

readers to hates be repulsed by or

frightened of in my opinion is actually

more interesting and in some ways easier

than trying to write a character that

you want them to like so how do you

write a great villain here are some tips

to get you started

pick a type there are so many different

types of villains you can choose to

create in your stories they might be

psychotic killers evil superheroes

superficial snooty nasty individuals who

maliciously try to destroy other

people's happiness and a whole range of

different unsavory characters in between

choosing your villain and figuring out

how he or she will work in the story is

all part of the fun do your research a

great way to get a feel for how to write

a fantastic villainous character is to

read books of a similar style here you

can get ideas and inspiration of how

these wicked characters are used to

enhance the plot and the kind of

behavior speech and action that they

have the more you read the more inspired

you will be decide how much your reader

should hate them the most memorable

villains are complex characters with as

much depth and as many layers as those

heroes of your story don't neglect your

villains give them backstories and

in-depth personalities in order for your

readers to enjoy reading about the

villain they need to be interesting they

need to demand attention and provoke a

reaction deciding what you want that

reaction to be will help you craft your

evil character do you want your readers

to feel repulsed and afraid or do you

want them in some

to empathize with your villain and feel

sorry for them there is no reason why

you can't create a character that is

completely unlikable who never shows any

remorse for their actions but the

important point to remember is that your

readers still need to want to read about

them and if they don't it could ruin

your entire story decide how they will

end your villain plays a hugely

important role in determining what kind

of book you are trying to write if they

succeed in their evil schemes defeat the

hero or prevent goodness from happening

then your book will have quite a

different feel to one where even if

right at the last minute your villain is

defeated you don't necessarily need to

see your villain overcome by the end of

the book but if you don't then make sure

your readers are prepared for it push

the boundaries if you want to make a

truly original or despicable bad guy but

you need to come up with unique ways of

doing so don't be afraid to shock your

readers and push the boundaries of what

they have to come to expect in a villain

if you do then they will be all more

interesting and exciting to read

creating a fantastic and memorable

villain is hard work but thoroughly

rewarding and lots of fun - it's not

often we get to explore the darker side

to our creativity so just run with it

use these tips to guide you and see what

kind of evil bad guy you can come up

with and remember if you're having a

hard time writing or finishing your book

Hello it's Peter here again from Writer's

Life and today writing myths busted

whether you're a seasoned writer or just

starting out it's likely that at some

point or another you'll have reached out

to try and find some advice on the most

common mistakes that writers make what

to do and what not to do to ensure that

you don't fall at the first hurdle

the trouble is however that there is so

much advice out there and really when it

comes to being creative can there be a

one-size-fits-all rule some advice

hinders rather than helps writers so

remember when it comes to being told how

to write it is sometimes best to follow

your own instincts and do what feels

right for you however here are some of

the most common writing myths but don't

let them fool you

first of all writing is just easy for

some people let's face facts

some people might be really disciplined

others might be really talented but

neither of these things mean that

writing is a total breeze okay so here's

some people talking about writing being

a natural thing that they just felt like

they instinctively know how to do but

don't believe them no one picks up a

musical instrument for the first time

and starts playing to a professional

standard writing is much like this it's

a craft that you must learn and practice

the more you practice the more you

improve no one finds it easy it's about

hard work and discipline and only with

experience and dedication does it get

easier to do next you've got to have a

gift to write don't think that writing

can't be learned because it can while it

may be true that some people have a

talent for right

it doesn't mean that those who aren't

naturally inclined to write can't become

good writers the more you learn and

practice the better you'll get a next

writing isn't a real job writing is a

useful skill and spending your time

writing can open many doors in fact when

you think about it almost all

professions require writing in some form

or another so having a way with words

can really boost your career next

writing won't pay the bills the image of

the struggling but brilliant writer is

one that we are all familiar with but

really writing can be a rewarding

satisfying and lucrative career there

are many excellent salaried jobs out

there that you can work your way into or

should you choose to go freelance there

are now many different publications and

online jobs which are offering well paid

work if you want to be a fiction writer

sure it's a tough business trying to get

a book published but don't forget the

other options such as radio scripts

writing short story writing and many

more all of which can pay well are

easier to get into as well next writer's

block is a lie okay so this one is a

little tricky there can be times in

every writers life where they feel

uninspired to write all that someone

else put a total block on their

creativity

however writer's block is curable and

usually it rears its ugly head because

of what the writers themselves are doing

next time it happens try to understand

why is it because you are

procrastinating or refusing to write

unless the conditions are perfect

or perhaps the ideas simply isn't fully

formed in your head yet either way you

need to relax keep on working at it and

eventually you

yet there don't let your writing be

stalled or intimidated by these myths

put them to bed want some for all and

don't let anything stop you now don't

forget if you're struggling to write or
