WRITER, PROMOTE THYSELF

by Lynette Rees

Okay so you?ve written a couple of poems, articles or short stories. You
may even have had them published somewhere on the Net or in print. Have
you just left it at that and hoped that your work will ?just speak for
itself??  There are ways to gain shameless promotion at little or no
cost to yourself.

?     Set up your own website

You can pay to have your own domain name if you like e.g.:
?Lynettescreativewriting.com?, or you could do as I have and set up my
own free website.  There are quite a few sites that offer you the chance
to do this with no charge.  With some of them you don?t even have to
have any knowledge of html programming, it?s all done for you.  You
could set up a simple one like I have to promote my published work.  I
use this one to send the url to editors when I submit an article for
publication, so that they can view my online clips:

        http://www.suite101.com/myhome.cfm/Peacefulwriter

You could even set up your own creative writing site, which would be
especially helpful if you haven?t had anything published as yet.  Who
said you can?t publish your own work?  You would then have the advantage
of being able to include the url when submitting work online to editors.
If you?re feeling really ambitious you could send out a regular
newsletter to tell friends and family what?s new at your site e.g.: This
month?s short story, article, poem etc.  Here?s an example:

        http://pages.ivillage.com/silverlady0/lynettescreativewriting/

The only draw back to this sort of a site is that you have no control
over the advertising displayed there.  Putting up with a banner that
reads: ?7 days of great sex? at ivillage.com is worth it to have a free
website of your own!

Where can I find these free places to set up my own simple site?

Here are  three places I know of that are easy to use.  There are
probably many more.  The only requirement that I?m aware of is that you
sign yourself up as a member first:

        http://www.ivillage.com/ivillage/memberwebsites/
        http://www.tripod.lycos.com/
        http://www.suite101.com

?     Create a signature for yourself

Most e-mail programs like Outlook Express, Yahoo and MSN have a facility
that enables you to do this.  I usually have a signature that gives me
the opportunity to provide a link to my latest article.  I frequently
change my signature for any new work I?ve had published, e.g. I may
change my signature  weekly: from a short story I?ve had published
online, to an article at another site, to a creative writing class I?m
tutoring online.

?     Join an online writers? support group

I belong to an online yahoo writers? group that's made up of over 1,000
writing mothers like myself.  Some are stay at home mothers, others work
full or part-time, some are authors and a few are editors of print
magazines and websites.  This can be a good opportunity to promote our
work.  Whenever we have something published we announce it by e-mail to
the entire list, to give the other members a chance to read our article,
story or poem. There are many creative writing lists at Yahoo, check
them out:

 
http://dir.yahoo.com/Arts/Humanities/Literature/Creative_Writing/

 Or alternatively you could join an online newsgroup such as: 

        alt.creative.writing . 

So as you can see, there are ways to promote your writing.   May be you
won?t be the next Stephen King or Jackie Collins, but at least your
writing will get noticed and more importantly someone will read it!

TELL, DON'T SHOW

By Sandy Tritt

     The first rule of writing is show, don't tell. But let's face it --
if we showed everything, our novels would run tens of thousands of
pages, and readers would die of exhaustion. So what do we do? We must
decide what information the reader needs. Just because we know
everything about our characters and just because we spent weeks
researching, it isn't necessary to share all this with our reader. We
must choose only the details we need to authenticate our story and omit
everything else.

NARRATIVE is telling what happens. This is useful when the acting out of
the story (by dialogue and action) does nothing to further our
understanding of the characters and isn't important enough to give all
the details.

EXPOSITION is explaining why something happened or gives background
information. One of the most difficult and most crucial elements in
story-telling is knowing when to give the play-by-play action and when
to back off and summarize. Play with this. If a scene doesn't hold your
interest, maybe it is better to summarize it in a sentence or two and go
on to something more important. However, if it is a pivotal scene in the
plot or critical to our understanding how our character reacts in a
given situation, go for it. Give us action, give us dialogue, and let us
experience and savor every single moment of it.

NEW - AUTHORME WRITING SURVEYS

This month we launched a new service in reader feedback - an opinion
survey. Those authors willing to share the cost can arrange for readers
to comment on opening, language,  plot, conclusion, credibility, unity,
detail, balance, and strong and weak points of their work.

When you purchase an AuthorMe writer survey for your manuscript, we
place a link to the survey above the text. We then provide a private,
password protected link enabling you see view survey results - a summary
as well as  individual responses (including email addresses of
respondents who are willing to enter that information.)

A Comment From Corey

I remain thoroughly pleased about the feedback/kudos I received from a
cross section of your readers who read "Spring Fever."  

Surprised ?Spring Fever? had that effect on those outside of my circle
of friends who tend to like everything I write, though they do give me
honest feedback, etc.  Your survey gave me more insight of how others
outside my circle of friends perceive my work and in what areas I
need improvement, all of which will help me to continue to polish my
writing.  The survey:  AN INVALUABLE SERVICE and USEFUL TOOL FOR ANY
WRITER!

WRITING IS A STRESS RELIEVER

By Sean Nugent

Medical studies show that 70 percent of illness is emotionally induced.
We as humans have a tendency to push ourselves to the outer limits of
our physical and mental capabilities. I have found that we also allow
stress and emotions to build up to the point we burst like a
jack-n-the-box consuming us, weakening and making us more susceptible to
illness.

But there is a way to relieve and reduce that stress, increasing your
health and making you less likely to get sick.

Many people have asked me "Sean, how can I relieve and reduce my
emotional stress so it doesn't consume me." The answer is simple: write
poetry or make a journal; the simple act of writing is the miracle drug
for stress. By writing we allow that emotional stress to flow, reducing
the pressure that it puts on your heart and mind.

Poetry is the heart's blood flow of emotions upon a canvas of white
creating a masterpiece of art; it is the freeing of one's soul from the
emotions that consume the mind in every day life. It is the writing of
thoughts unto paper in verse that releases the pressures of the world
and puts to ease your mind with the gentle breeze of Mother Nature's
breath.

A journal is the same as poetry except it is the free flow of thought in
no order or sequence. A journal is meant for your eyes only and lets you
feel freer to write without holding back and worrying about rhyming and
flow.

Both help to release and relieve the stress built up in your life. They
each are a unique way of expressing your emotions and feelings so that
they don't stay inside and consume your mind. 

The simple fact is someone who writes a journal is more likely to be
happy, and someone who writes a poem is more likely to see the world in
a different light. Someone who does both is less likely to be sick and
more likely to live a near stress free life. For writing is a stress
reliever and happiness maker.

        Sean is a college freshman who loves to write

READ...   TWO-BIT DANCING

Life's an onion. Not a new concept?Usually, what we reveal to others
about ourselves adds flavor, distinction?making us appear just a bit
more exciting. Assume for a moment, that someone is peeling your life
apart, onion layer by onion layer. Are you still adding flavor?
Distinction? Is at the heart of the onion really a heart? Is it, then,
the onion crying ? or the one who?s peeling??

Angela Louie, mother of a teenager and a disabled child, is entering a
fine hotel while fidgeting with the business card of an escort service ?
lapse of common sense? Hanson Lee Ascano is a computer genius working
for a prestigious firm ? he also dances in an exotic night club a few
nights each week. Tom Lawson is taking on what should be a routine
investigation to reunite a parent with his children ? instead, it rouses
monsters. For more info, visit... http://www.twobitdancing.com/


About the Author
Evelyn Schneider was born and raised in Germany. She has written "almost
anything from plant-care tags to television sitcoms." She lives in San
Diego, California. 

She says, Two-bit Dancing was inspired by a television talkshow, and
laughs. Then, serious: "The true inspiration came many years ago while
visiting a police fair. I was a teenager then and should have been
impressed by the latest crime-fighting technology. But what remained in
my soul where the images of cubicles upon cubicles filled with
photographs of children -- not victims of some far-away war but sons and
daughters of modern families: burnt, starved, locked away.
