Writer's Notes - By Jeanne Dininni

 
WritersNotes.Net: Helping Writers Follow Their Dreams Through Information, Inspiration, and Encouragement!


Do You Have a Book Inside You Struggling to Get Out?

If you've envisioned the perfect plot for a blockbuster novel or have a fantastic idea for the next non-fiction best-seller, yet have found it difficult to motivate yourself to get started or stick with it for very long, you may just find the inspiration you need by writing your book with novelist Holly Lisle.


Let Holly Help You Get Your Book Written!

Holly Lisle, an experienced author with over 30 books to her credit, who offers various courses in fiction writing at her website, HollyLisle.com, has brainstormed a fabulous idea for helping her fellow writers find the initiative to get their books written. She calls it Write a Book With Me.


A Group Writing Plan That's a Little Different

Perhaps you've participated in other community writing efforts, starting out enthusiastically enough but losing steam partway through because the high daily word-counts were difficult to maintain. You may have fallen behind and catching up simply required too much effort. If so, I have good news for you: You won't have that problem with this absolutely pressure-free group writing plan. Holly has made it almost ridiculously easy for any writer to participate and stick with the program by requiring (and I use the term loosely) a minimum of only 250 words per day, five days a week, and by not requiring that missed days' word-counts be made up later. What more could a writer ask?


A Program That's Not Just Fun but Guilt-Free

Holly also gives the reticent writer a convenient "out." Should you try her writing plan and decide it isn't for you, you simply quit—without recriminations. Here's the way Holly explains it in her "official" rules:

You acknowledge that all this has to be is fun—it isn’t work, a competition, or a form of self-flagellation—and if knocking out your words at this pace stops being fun, you walk away with no guilt.

Well, that certainly is refreshing, isn't it? Writing without guilt—and having fun doing it! I hope you'll pardon the pun when I say, "What a novel idea!"


You'll Enjoy the Flexibility of Holly's Plan

As you can see from the points mentioned above, flexibility is the hallmark of Holly's cooperative writing plan. In fact, the most important "plus" that I see in it (aside from actually getting your book written) is that, no matter what you do, you absolutely can't fail. And, in our often stress-burdened lives, there's certainly a great deal to be said for that! (You can also join this group writing plan regardless of your book's current stage of completion--another obvious indicator of its flexibility.)

So, what are you waiting for? Check out Holly's "requirements" for participation and then get started. Now's as good a time as any—and probably better now that this super-flexible plan has been developed—to get your book written!

Holly's plan may be just what you need to free your Muse and get your creativity flowing.

Happy writing! (And I do mean happy!)
Jeanne


Do you have a book "in you"—one that you've always dreamed of writing but never gotten around to? Or, have you started your book, only to lose your enthusiasm part-way through? Perhaps you've joined other cooperative writing programs that were more of a challenge than you were prepared to undertake and quit soon after. I'd just love it if you'd share your experiences with us. What were the positives and negatives of the programs you've been involved with? What do you look for in such programs? Or are you a lone-wolf writer? If writing alone is your preferred modus operandi, what don't you like about writing along with others?

A Quote That Serves Up Food for Thought for Writers

Today's Quote of the Day (in my left sidebar) says that "Silence is more eloquent than words." (Thomas Carlyle). As writers, words are the tools of our trade. What do you think of Carlyle's statement, and/or what would you say to Carlyle about his assertion if you could?


Words and Silence

Personally, I would say that there are definitely times when silence is more eloquent than words--as in those times when no words are adequate to express an emotion or when nothing we could say would ever be sufficient to respond to another person's sorrow or despair without trivializing it.

I also believe that silence can be a highly effective method for punctuating a statement and providing dramatic contrast, which can not only drive an idea home in a particularly potent manner but also encourage (and allow) a listener to really ponder it.

Of course, the above comments would apply more to verbal exchanges than written ones--though there are also many times when silence in written messages can exert a powerful (though not always unambiguous) influence.


"Silence" in Writing

We all know that not replying to something said by someone in an e-mail, letter, or comment can sometimes cause that person to question why and wonder about the significance of the omission. This type of "silence" can create serious doubts about our message's intent and sometimes even give the recipient a totally erroneous impression of what we meant to convey. This would be a negative application of silence in our written communications, which--while certainly poweful--wouldn't actually qualify as "eloquent."

In the writing arena, I also think that, in many cases, economy of words can have a similar effect to that of auditory silence in conversation. This is true in the sense that it leaves some room for individual thought, opinion formulation, and/or personal application of a concept, rather than bombarding the reader with the author's own perspective and thereby limiting the reader's engagement with the work in question. This would be a positive manifestation of written "silence" which might actually qualify for Carlyle's "eloquent" descriptor.

Another version of this type of "silence"--whether in speech or writing--would be the art of asking questions. This is because the very act of questioning implies that a period of silence will follow, during which the hearer's/reader's input will be welcome--another positive manifestation of written "silence." (Even rhetorical questions invite the hearer/reader to ponder the topic and provide the "space" for him to reach his own conclusions.)

What are your thoughts on words and silence--either from a writing or conversational perspective? You have the floor!

Thanks, in advance, for sharing your thoughts!

Printed Promotional Materials for Your Business

Do you use professionally printed products to promote your business? Writers are among the many small business owners and independent business people who can often benefit greatly by using professional printing services to help us create printed materials that effectively illustrate our skills, describe our experience, and promote our services.

Depending on our chosen marketing method, we writers may need such printed items as business cards, letterhead and envelopes, brochures, or greeting cards. And, if our work keeps us too busy to write and mail our own greeting cards, we might just decide that we'd benefit from outsourcing the task to a reliable go-between. After all, such a tailor-made opportunity to favorably impress our clients or business associates is not only tempting but easily accomplished via the right resource.

We might even decide that our marketing or PR campaign would benefit from imprinted promotional items, such as calendars or bookmarks, to distribute to clients or prospects. Yet, whatever our precise printing needs may be, we'll want to find a company that offers quality products which are compatible with those needs and with the goals we've determined to be important to us.


PsPrint: Combining Quality with Convenience

PsPrint is a company which provides business printing services of all kinds to entrepreneurs everywhere. Combining the speed and convenience of online ordering with the personalized service of a neighborhood print shop, PsPrint gives today's busy writer the best of both worlds. With an impressive list of print products and services, ranging from basic business card, letterhead, and postcard printing, to complete graphic design packages, PsPrint can become your one-stop professional print shop, catering to all your business needs.

While I haven't yet had the opportunity to personally use its services, a few things about PsPrint's website impress me. The first is the free sample kit which allows the potential client (you) to see firsthand the quality of the paper and printing used to create its products. The second is the wide variety of options available for customizing your print package to make it better fit your unique needs. The third is the list of weekly deals that help make your professional print job more affordable.

Every business owner must decide for him or herself what qualities are most important in a printing company and how much these qualities are worth. So, why not visit the PsPrint website today and see exactly what the company has to offer your business. You may just find that the happy marriage of convenience and quality makes PsPrint's products and services worth every cent.


To your great PR!

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it isn't worth a thousand frustrations!


The Ups and Downs of Images

Free Pictures | acobox.com Need images to liven up your blog posts? Want a few photos to enhance your website's design? Most of us know that relevant images can attract attention--and readers--to our blogs. Yet, we don't use them nearly as often as we should, simply because it seems too much trouble to search for them, download, save, sometimes resize, and (finally!) upload them. If we were honest, many of us would have to admit that looking for just the right image to illustrate our ideas and then handling the myriad related details is far from our favorite pastime and definitely the least enjoyable part of writing/blogging.

So, where do you go when it's time to illustrate your web copy with colorful visuals--that is, when you can psych yourself up for the ordeal? (Of course, if you happen to be a photographer and can illustrate your work with photos you take yourself, you are exempt from this question--though I'm sure that, at times, the image you need won't be one you have among your own photographic collection.) If, for whatever reason, you're tired of using the same old photo sites--or Googling and finally finding a new one only to discover that it charges for its "free" images--or if downloading and saving a multitude of photos to your hard drive before uploading them to your blog has lost its luster, try Acobox.com.


Acobox is a Little Different

While Acobox organizes its photos according to the usual system of categories (and sub-categories) and allows you to search for images via keywords, as most other photo sites do, it does offer one significant difference: It allows you to upload your images directly to your blog, eliminating the intermediate step of downloading and saving them to your hard drive first. This saves you time, trouble, frustration, and--no less importantly--disc space.

Acobox also gives you the option of choosing from four image sizes, so it's never necessary to edit and change the image size yourself. This is a service Acobox provides for you automatically when the image is uploaded to your site. (In fact, most images aren't even available for download but may only be uploaded directly to your website or blog. They must also be hotlinked, meaning that they must have a link to Acobox embedded in the image--though Acobox takes care of this for you by including the link in the code it provides when you upload your photo to your site.)


Try It for Yourself and See What You Think

To access Acobox's free images, you'll need to register for the site. (Registration is free.) You'll also need to list all the blogs for which you intend to use the free image upload service. (Be sure to keep this list up-to-date to continue to enjoy the privilege of uploading free images directly to all your sites.)

Acobox makes using images on your website or blog faster, easier, and more convenient. So, why not peruse the site at your leisure and see what it has to offer. Browse its image library and see if you don't find something that will be just right for your next post--or something that might even inspire your next post.

Check it out, sign up, try it, and let me know what you think!

Happy "imaging"!
Jeanne

NOTE: Here's the information I promised in my last post. I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to get back into the swing of posting after my time away. Since losing Mom, life has been a challenge, to say the least.

I've decided that it's better to do my best to post a little something--even if it's short--than to wait until I can manage a longer, more meaty post. After all, a good resource is still a good resource--even if it isn't surrounded by a massive amount of brilliant prose.

So, without further ado, here's the freelancer's job resource info that I promised:



FreelanceJobOpenings.com

The latest addition to the freelance job cyberscape is FreelanceJobOpenings.com.

Freelance Job Openings provides free job leads for writers and other freelancers, including bloggers, web designers, artists, editors, researchers, and others. Job listings can be read in order by date (most recent listings first). They can also be displayed by category or searched by job title/keyword.

Peruse the site, bookmark it, and consider adding it to your list of job sites that you check on a regular basis for the latest job leads. It will add one more valuable weapon to your arsenal of job-search resources.

And, who knows, you just might end up finding your next paying gig there.

Happy hunting!
Jeanne

P.S. Don't forget to check out the related posts listed below. They provide links to other helpful freelance writing and blogging websites.

Update On My Situation

Most of you are aware that, due to my mom's illness and my caregiving responsibilities, I've been unable to post much at Writer's Notes over the past few months. Some may also be aware of the latest development in my situation; but for those who aren't, I'd like to share an update: My dear, sweet, precious mother passed away Sunday, May 17th, at the age of 82, after a shockingly short, fierce battle with an unusually fast-progressing form of Alzheimer's, which devastated both mind and body before finally taking her life.

It's been a very sad time for my family and me and an extremely hard thing to watch this insidious disease wreak its devastation on a woman who was always so sharp, alert, detail-oriented, meticulous, and exacting before its onset--to watch her gradually (though rapidly) lose her ability to reason, communicate, walk, feed (or do anything else for) herself, and eventually even lose the ability to eat or drink (even through a straw) and even when fed by others.

I hope my description of the end-stages of this hellish disease isn't too graphic for my readers' sensibilities, but I believe that many (like me) were not previously aware of the true nature of Alzheimer's and just how devastating it can be. Prior to my own experience with this medical monster, I didn't know that it was a fatal disease and naively thought it always took years and years to develop and that its effects were limited to cognitive impairment, wandering and becoming lost, and other similar difficulties. I soon learned, though, that that isn't the half of it.


Dispelling the Widespread Myths About Alzheimer's

The following quote from the Alzheimer's Myths page of the Alzheimer's Association website addresses the reality of Alzheimer's--a reality of which most people are unaware:

Myth 2: Alzheimer’s disease is not fatal.

Reality: Alzheimer's disease has no survivors. It destroys brain cells and causes memory changes, erratic behaviors and loss of body functions. It slowly and painfully takes away a person's identity, ability to connect with others, think, eat, talk, walk and find his or her way home.

I hope this eye-opening information won't be too shocking to my readers, but I do feel it very important to dispel the myths that lull us into complacency about this devastating disease--making us ill-equipped to face it when it enters our lives. (For the other seven myths listed on the website, along with their rebuttals, visit the above link.)


Knowledge Equals Power to Prepare

The truth is that many people live many years with Alzheimer's, and in its earlier stages it rarely, if ever, wreaks the devastation that its later stages bring. Many Alzheimer's patients live reasonably happy lives for years. Yet, it's also important to be aware that this isn't always the case and to be prepared in the eventuality that we or our loved ones face a more aggressive, faster-moving variety.

There are drugs that can slow the progression of Alzheimer's somewhat if taken early enough in the disease process, though their effect is temporary, they only work for about half the people who take them, and that effect only lasts on average about 6 to 12 months. These facts are also addressed on the Alzheimer's Myths page of the Association's website (found at the link presented earlier in this post.)

This insidious disease snuck up on me, and by the time I realized what was happening, so much ground had already been lost. Then, it progressed at super speed like a horror movie video set to "fast forward," never allowing me to achieve (or regain) my equilibrium as a daughter, companion, caregiver, "nurse," or friend. In short, it was a nightmare, and I would hate to see this same nightmare come upon you unawares.

Please educate yourself about Alzheimer's, because you simply never know when it might strike someone you know and love--and when it does, there's absolutely no way of knowing for certain how much (or how little) time you have left.


Thanks so much for reading!
Jeanne


P.S. I'd planned to provide a link to a writing-related website as part of this post (since this is, after all, a writing blog); but, due to the serious and emotional nature of the above message, I've decided to hold off and provide that link in a separate post. When I first began penning the above post, I wasn't absolutely certain how much I would reveal about my mom's death or the precise manner in which that revelation would evolve. But, since I felt it so important to share and prepare my readers for the possibility of meeting Alzheimer's head on in the future, it seemed inappropriate and anticlimactic to follow my appeal with something so mundane as a link to a freelancing website. I hope that no one minds and that all will be patient until I can get the next post up. Thanks so much for your understanding.

My Sincere Apologies!

I'd like to share with my readers the reason for the dearth of posts here at Writer's Notes--and also to offer my sincerest apologies for the fact that I haven't updated in over a month.

My mother has been quite ill for the past month or so, and her condition continues to deteriorate (far, far faster than I'd ever expected it would). In fact, to be honest, her condition really caught me unawares (and unprepared). (It's almost like living in the Twilight Zone, experiencing how quickly things went downhill and just how much they've changed from day to day.) I'm finding that, as Mom's 24/7 caregiver, so many issues are accosting me from every side on a daily basis--aside from the rigors of her everyday care, which is, in itself, pretty strenuous--and this has made it difficult to even think about updating my blog, much less actually sitting down and doing it.

I hope you'll all bear with me as I do my best to get through this very intense period of my (and my mom's) life. If I'm able, I'll try to post a little something now and then; yet, it will be so comforting to me to know that you'll all understand if I should be unable to find the time, energy, or inspiration to post.

Thankfully, I've had a bit of a hiatus from my other freelancing obligations during the past month (April) but will be back to producing a certain minimal amount of freelance work starting this month (May). Thanks so much for understanding that, for now, that may be all I'll be able to handle. We'll just have to see how things work out. So much is based on how things go with Mom, and from day to day, I never really know what to expect. Hospice became involved in her care this Sunday, and I simply never know what tomorrow will bring.

If I'm able, perhaps I'll share a link or two with you now and then, possibly an editing tip, a quotation, or a few words of writing wisdom, or maybe I'll simply share a few of my thoughts about the things I'm experiencing during this truly difficult period of my life. We'll just have to see.

Thankfully, my faith, my family, my faith family, and many other wonderful people (and resources) are helping me get through this. I don't know what I'd do without them.

Thanks so much for reading--and caring!
Jeanne

Quotations: A Writer's Best Friend

We writers just love a good quote -- whether we use it to enhance our own writing or simply read it for the sheer pleasure we experience as we drink in the inspiration ... or relish the wit ... or perhaps revel in the humor ... or marvel at the wisdom inherent in an insightful turn of phrase. In whatever way we may decide to use them, quotations can enrich our lives -- and our writing -- immensely.

That's why I'd like to share a website that offers a plethora of famous quotes, arranged by topic, type of author, specific author, favorite authors, and nationality, to make your search for the quotes that will pique your personal interest that much easier. The ability to browse by author's last name, along with the availability of a quick list of popular authors, adds to the convenience and applicability of the site to a variety of reader -- and writer -- needs. The site even offers quotes for the iPhone and features a Quote of the Moment (which changes every time you revisit or refresh the page), as well as over a hundred quotation trivia quizzes to help keep your mental agility in top form. The site is called BrainyQuote -- a deceptively simple yet highly appropriate title for such a rich repository of intellectual fare.


Quotations for Every Area of Interest and/or Occasion

The BrainyQuote website provides quotations on numerous topics, such as business, education, imagination, intelligence, success, and wisdom, to name but a few which might appeal to the writer's creative side. Some of the author types quoted in the type-of-author category are artist, author, journalist, musician, philosopher, and yes -- even writer. My only disappointment is that the site doesn't offer a collection of quotes on the topic of writing, rather than simply providing quotes that originated with writers -- since we all know there's a vast difference between the two.


How About a Regular (Daily) Dose of Brainy Quotes?

One added dimension of this site is that you may also pick up a string of code which allows you to display a Quote of the Day from one of several selected types of daily quote generators on your own website or blog. This is a great way to share the wit and wisdom of some of the better-known -- and some of the not-so-well-recognized -- personages of our times. Displaying a quote a day gives readers more time to ponder each quotation more fully, gaining maximum value from its insights, rather than overwhelming our visitors with too many intellectual gems to assimilate at a single sitting.


The Quote of the Day Widget Here at Writer's Notes

You may have noticed the quotes currently displayed each day in my left sidebar. (If you haven't, why not take a look.) The quotes displayed here come from the general Quote of the Day category of the BrainyQuote website (though at some point, I may decide to try a different daily quote type). Other Quote of the Day types include Art Quotes, Funny Quotes, Love Quotes, and Nature Quotes.


BrainyQuote: A Fount of Wisdom to Visit or Take "Home"

The fact that the site doesn't offer quotes about writing is really a rather minor imperfection. Aside from that, it has a great deal to offer -- both to those who simply want to visit and peruse (and definitely bookmark) the site and those who prefer to give their blog's or website's readers a daily dose of verbal wisdom by posting the automated Quote-of-the-Day widget in their sidebars.

So, why not visit the BrainyQuote site and get your daily dose of wisdom and inspiration? You might even decide to bring some brainy quotes back to your own home page and give your readers some daily food for thought -- aside from the tempting intellectual fare you already provide, that is.


Happy quoting!
Jeanne


Did you enjoy this post? What are your personal thoughts on quotations? How do you prefer to have your quotations served up: all at once, one at a time, in limited groups of related remarks, more than one of the above, or ? What do you think of today's Quote of the Day? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

A Cure for Blogging Guilt?

March 16th 2009 19:03


A Fun Tool for the Guilt-Ridden Overworked Blogger

Karen Swim, at Words for Hire, recently penned an entertaining post, in which she introduced a fantastic tool for lazy…er, busy…bloggers who are willing to refrain (for at least a little while) from taking themselves—and life—too seriously. (To be perfectly accurate, she has partly penned and partly generated this post.) To see what I mean, check out Lazy or Creative? and prepare to smile.

Karen's post introduces an eminently—OK, amusingly—helpful standby for the blogger who may be having trouble keeping up. It's an automatic blog post generator that can help you easily (and often quite humorously) explain/apologize to your readers for your inexcusable blogging lapses. (It's about time someone thought of this!) With my own practically non-existent blogging schedule lately, I feel eminently qualified to take full advantage of this tool. (In fact, I thought that two apology posts created with this software would be the least I should offer my loyal, longsuffering readers, who certainly deserve two posts—and, at the absolute minimum, two apologies—for dealing with the dearth of content here at Writer's Notes lately). So, here goes!


This Lazy Busy Blogger's Automatically Generated Posts:

My first, more down-to earth, conservative version follows:

Goodness Gracious I just discovered I have not updated this since they invented sliced bread...You would not believe I spend all my time in front of a computer. I hope you still love me!*

I am absolutely consumed with work, personal projects, (and) just generally being a slave to society in general. (M)y day is full to overflowing from dawn to sundown and beyond. I am not complaining though. (But) I need a nap.

I won't promise anything to you, but I will make more of an effort to blog more often. Well, I'll try. What do you mean you don't believe me?


And here's my slightly zanier, or rather far more literary [cough, cough], version:

Abject apologies! I just opened mine eyes, and lo! I have not updated this since long before Shakespeare wast a boy...You would not believe my anguish at my misdoings. I prostrate myself in sorrow and beg thy forgiveness.

I am absolutely consumed with discovering time doesn't stand still, hoping you haven't found other blogs, (and) just generally being a doormat to my cats. (M)y day is passing in a blur from (the time) the light through yonder window breaks to whenever (I get finished). I am not complaining though. (L)ife is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get.

I declare solemnly I will try to remember my blog password more often in future. Truly! Unless of course the pool with the cocktail bar is heated!


Why not drop whatever you're doing and drop by The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator, where you can turn your blogging guilt into blogging fun!

Enjoy!
Jeanne

*In the interests of proper usage, I've made slight grammatical and punctuation changes to the two posts generated by the above tool. Added words and capitalizations are enclosed in parentheses, though I've taken the liberty of not indicating punctuation changes (which would have been awfully cumbersome--not to mention downright boring).


Did you enjoy this post? What do you think of such all-in-fun lapses in serious content posting? Do you consider this tool a dream-come-true for the busy (or lazy) blogger, or simply a way of letting off steam, eliciting a smile from readers, or assuaging a blogger's guilt when circumstances conspire against a regular blogging schedule? Perhaps a bit of all of the above? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I truly enjoy reading your insights, viewpoints, and perspectives and especially appreciate your loyalty over the past month, during which I've posted so little, since you are obviously a die-hard Writer's Notes fan!


Sparser Posting Schedule

My sincere apologies for the lateness of this comment appreciation post, for my sparser-than-ever posting schedule lately, and for my practically non-existent visits and comments at the other blogs that I so enjoy. So many things have been keeping me busy--all vying for my attention at once--that it seems impossible to get to them all; and I admit that, as a result, I've been rather lax in my updates here at Writer's Notes.* I hope you'll forgive me. I appreciate each and every one of you who took the time to leave a comment--even more now than when I have a larger group! Thanks so much for your faithfulness!
