The Great Ragu

The most important tool for a writer is a pen and paper.I f you're a new writer or have been doing it for years, having a handy note book or journal to keep your notes an thoughts in will  help you find those fabulous ideas. Keeping a journal or note book doesn't have to be used to write down your secret and desires, but can be used to write own the simpliest of things. A friend of mine always keeps a note book in her purse as do I. One day she went to the museum with her kids. After writing a few notes about the things she saw and writing down someof the funny comment her kids made; My friend wrote a wondeful story for a contest that led to her first book publishing. Writing down observation,s thoughts and anything else you desire surely will help you find a great story. Keep a Journal and get inspired.

Sometimes even te best writers get writers block, you sit ,stare at the screen and nothing. This often happens to me and I have a great solution. Every writer knows something about something, giving your self a quick interview can help you find some great idea's. Make  list of questions. Where have I traveled? What cities, states, countries? Any parks museums, or special places? How did you travel, plane, train or car? Go back in time in your life, try to remember funny moments or sad moments in your life. Use your self interview to create characters. Here's a few more questions to try...
What kind of hobbies do  have or have ever had?
How is my health or family's health?
What are you secres and/or dreams?
What kind of relationships have I had?
Use these question to create more detaild questions and alway ask what if...What if you suddenly found out....? Sometimes finding the story is looking into your own backyard...
Happy writing

If you are trying to get you work published in print, whether it is a book, a magazine article or oven a short childrens story, you must give the best first impression that you can.The best way to do that is witah a query letter. The query letter is so important because it lets the plisher know what you have to offer and it also gives the publisher a view into your writing skills. Make sure when yo are putting together a query that your grammer is prefect, keep it simple. Do not include personal information like interests or hobbies, be professional and humble at the same time. Do not use fancy fonts and keep pharagraphs to the left with a blank white line in between each. Make sure your writes voice  can be heard through out the letter, you don't want it to be a boring bit of information. The query letter is meant to impress, so make an extra effort when putting one together, and remember to edit and edit and edit. again. Happy writing.

Well let me tell you all that I really bombed on a recent project. We all have chances to prove our selves whether in work, school, or play. Yesterday I wrote some articles on a subject I have never even heard of before. I started out confident and ready take on the challenge, then crash boom bang, I failed. What I wrote was boring and all the articles seemed to sound the same. I was really frusterated trying to write something I was so unfamilar with. Some subjects you can pick up no problem and other can send you spinning. My avice for the day is even if you bombed as bad as I did you can always try again. So today I will try once more to please my project provider. It's not often I bomb  but when I do I do it hard. I will keep my head high and try again.

See Ya
P.S Tomorrows friday, yeah, LOL...

Hello everyone! It's a new day and I have alot of work to do, I'm continuing my series of articles related t teen health and wellness. I'm currently looking for some new subjects to write and post here on my site. If anyone has any suggestions leave them in the comment box. Also I have posted a new profile on freelance profile.com. check it out or add your own profile.

Now I'm going to go completely off subject for a second because I have to comment on a new show I watched last night. The Terminator, the sarah conner chronicles I've got to admit there is some cheesy lines but if your a terminator fan the show it's self is actually pritty good. I thought the main charachter Sarah conner is very close to the movies charachter. I didn't thik I was going to enjoy the new show but it's good, and the story fits in with the movies plot, so check it out on Monday nights and let me know what you think.

Also I want to send my sincerest sympathy to the families in New Brunswick, Canada. Seven students and one teacher were killed in a crash this...
