Making Freelance Writing Niche Types Fit
Our Freelance Writing Needs Defined We must make freelance niche types fit our needs, wants, values and lifestyles, and we also must make ourselves fit freelance niche types. Of our waking hours, we work more than we do anything else. I keep this in mind when college students come to me concerned about what to do for a living, and I tell them (because I want them happy) to do what they love. I... read more

What Can You Gain From Online Writing Groups?
Writers always gain advantages when they form groups. In writers groups, there are always chances to gather more information and receive true critiques.

What Can Carl Jung, Eastern Philosophy And Photography Teach Us About Creativity?
Do you think that creative writing can be taught? First, let me say that I have taken only one creative writing course in my life. And so, my experience is not extensive. But, having written for many years, I can tell you what I’ve observed. Teachers can help you hone your craft. They can even teach you tricks to overcome obstacles to the creative flow.

The Sea is Not Blue – Improving your Creative Writing Skills
To write this, I am using ‘Microsoft Word’. If I want to chose a font colour I have a choice of ten shades of grey in the ‘standard colours’ and twelve further options if I select ‘more colours’ making twenty two shades.

A Copywriter is a Salesperson in Print So, now ask yourself the question again, do I need a copywriter? The answer is, of course, no.
