My dear friends. Please make sure you do not commit to anything offered on this community. And, do not pay anyone up front for anything. There are people who are deceitful in this world. Recently I discovered one of our members was pretending to be a famous author who headquarters out of Kentucky USA but, when I tried to coordinate something live with him, he said he was living in Amsterdam. This sent up a red flag and I reported it to skool for investigation. I'm sure that there are also other people here just trying to get customers and I understand that but please be careful not to get scammed.

It shouldn't. Think about it. When you read something does it feel like you're simply reading stuff? Or, does the story come to life in your mind? That is how your writing should feel. As you are writing, your mind should be playing it out like a movie, so that the reader can read it that way. You should see the actions of the scenes and make the words come out that way. This may seem like a no-brainer but if you want to become known for your writing, you have to write the way you see things in your head. Now, here comes the tricky part. Read your own writing and if it doesn't flow like a scene from a movie, or feel like you are reading a movie script, you need to rewrite it. Remember, if a picture is worth a thousand words and you are a writer not a director, your 1000 words need to paint a picture. So, make it a moving picture and you will have a masterpiece. Your thoughts?

In case you haven't noticed, I am on fire. My icon now has a fire symbol next to it. It means I have made at least 10 posts or likes every day for the last 30 days. I hope I can keep it up. The thing that helped was joining other groups and being active in them. But I must give credit where credit is due. Part of my sucsess is due to those of you who have been participating and showing up to respond or like my posts. Thank you so much for being a part of "The Write Way" and for helping me reach this personal goal.

It is fine that I am not getting anyone coming to the Live Lesson recodings, I understand time is a valuable comodety today, but I just want to see if anyone is watching them and if so, are you getting anything from them. If need be I will try to find a different way to help everyone learn but I want to evaluate their effectiveness. Please, I would rather you be honest, rather than keep doing them unnecesarily. You won't hur my feelings.

For me, it has to be "embrace the crappy first draft". Instead of stopping to fiddle with my sentences, when I'm writing the first draft, I keep pushing forward to get the story out first. Then I go back and revise. It's a waste of time to polish the first chapter to perfection if it ends up being cut in revisions! What about you?
