@Jenwriter17 I concur with the others and say that 3 POVs is fine.

I’ve found a couple of posts on Helping Writers Become Authors that you might find helpful:

@sage-g Wow, that’s fabulous! Thank you so much! This is why I didn’t attempt it myself. 😉 I can’t draw like that! :0

@Mariposa artwork would probably fit the bill too. Remember that you don’t have to stick with the one option forever. You can play around with every email you send out. 😛

@Daeus I’m curious that you say that. When I sent out my first newsletter I had no pictures or anything and the biggest lot of feedback I got was for “more photos and…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight  Thank you! Yes, she is a believer 🙂

@aella listen to Kate.

@daeus

Thanks. Finding what matters to him. hmm…

@radically-surrendered

Awesome!!

I was planning on articles, but have found out he thinks they are awful… so we’ll see how a few go over.

I think he’ll grasp it quickly… *if* he cares like you said.

@aella Yeah, definitely speak in his terms. Don’t try to make him a writer or treat him like a writer, because that’s probably not where his focus should be. He won’t understand the way you think, so you have to understand the way he thinks which is. It doesn’t matter what you value about writing, find what he values and show him whatever ways…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien @mariposa Actually, statistics show that people are far more likely to read an email that has just text. People say they like pictures, but when it actually comes down to it, they distrust emails with pictures in them. Of course, it depends on your niche, but I think it’s most likely your audience will pay more attention to you…[Read more]

Pretty much, unless it’s math, the kid zones out.

Aaah, yes, I use the word kid loosely. He’s fifteen.

Pretty much where he is seeing chaos, I’m having trouble explaining how, there can be, if he uses it, order.

I don’t really understand either. I believe they want me to kind of… coach him through writing the novella?…[Read more]

@Aella yikes… I do not envy you. 😛

Well… oh boy. If this was my task, I’d probably take a mathematical approach, since communication is all about presenting the material in the way your audience is already used to thinking.

First, I would explain the purpose of fiction— how it’s use is to touch people on the heart and make them think…[Read more]

What on earth does this have to do with math?

Okay. Generally speaking, people who like math like it because it makes sense–everything fits together, and there’s not a lot of gray area. Writing, even though there’s the potential for a lot of gray area, is similar in that its many aspects fit together to create order when there was chaos.

But t…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 As long as it’s a somewhat expansive story, where all 3 have things to do, no, that’s not too many 🙂

@waterlily I would!

@jenwriter Sorry I didn’t see this before! Yeah, I think it would be awesome, even though it’s been done before, with the whole mark of the beast thing. I love the idea.

@dragon-snapper What they said 😉

Quick tip: Make a goal list. Doing as many of these as you can is a fabulous goal, but don’t try and do them all at once. Pick your top three priorities (say like, email list, submitting a short story to a site and joining a new writing community) Focus on getting those three goals established/done before adding…[Read more]
