Newsletter Volume Two: The view wasn’t perfect

I felt something was missing with my film research, even knowing why I was doing it the way I did. Something felt like loose ends.

A writer is not bigger than their subject

Readers can look to the subject of an article rather than look to the writer of the article. In this case, the writer isn’t as important as what is being written about the subject.

Writing film reviews at Hub Pages

I have found publishing at Hub Pages encouraging in several ways. First, if my article is not featured and I get an email saying to improve the article so it will get featured, I let the idea marinate until I feel like editing. Hub Pages provides tips and guidelines for improving the piece.

Things I may not like but may be well done

I don’t like everything that everyone writes, I try not to accentuate their work, but it may just be the fourth third out of balance and out of whack. It may even be good. I wouldn’t like to, but it is not a perfect art.

Writing habitat

Writing as a regular habit is something that might not be achieved always. But a good habit.

Taking The Opportunity

An opportunity is a pain, as it takes one out of their comfort, but although it’s easy for me to say, a pain was worth the effort to come to terms with.

I’ve got joy

Whichever stage, be that practising writing or getting rejected, with a long-awaited opportunity comes joy.

A little boasting

As the photo explains in pictures: writing can be pain. But unlike him, I’m hot to trot 🙂

Still running with devotional writing

I was runner from way back, and I’m still running in the following way. Devotional writing. On the writing front, me and my computer have submitted two devotionals to a place when my devotions have been accepted before. Several other devotions were rejected at other times, some accepted at other times. I think the latest… Read More Still running with devotional writing

The existential rub of a manuscript

How do you know it is classic science fiction horror—I don’t mean science fiction or horror individually—but science fiction horror per-se? You can only know it did its upmost best, published or unpublished.

I’m on boot camp for writers

I believe in boot camp, but on another level I’d hate to do it.

Feeling better about those works

There seemed to be no unifying idea, but I’m feeling better about how I wrote some of those that are now published. They work. Even the rejected stuff – said the writer.

Business as usual?

There’s a feeling that when I see magazines and journals still put out calls for submissions that it is business as usual, despite the last three years of mayhem. I don’t hear about magazines shutting up shop. But reality is that it is not business as usual as the last three years shows. I just… Read More Business as usual?

Platform problems

Looks like I am unable to post at Vocal after all. There are problems with my account, so can’t easily navigate between pages. Vocal seems to work for others, though. So, that’s the latest writing news from here.

New venture

My experience at Vocal has been good thus far though there are some teething problems which are being sorted but nothing major as in major. I found my first article, before I submitted to the editors, prompted me to write to a certain word count and I found this good as it enabled me to… Read More New venture
