Writers, Why and How to Stop Dread of Marketing -
 - Jean Purcell (1,945)    
Jean Purcell   
"Ugh! I hate marketing! There's nothing but suspicion and rejection!" Many writers feel this way about marketing.
Yet, writing requires, even demands, it. We've got to face up to it, somehow. Shyness, feelings of guilt, and repulsed or apologetic attitudes should not get us down!
Why is... ( added 9 days 20 hours ago.) |
Saying So Long But Not Goodbye. -
Mike Fak (5,738)  
Mike Fak
It has been an interesting
couple of years here at Searchwarp for me. Originally I wrote as a counterbalance
to some of the other writing projects I was involved in. I used the
space I was kindly allotted to look at and laugh at some of the zany
things that happen in our world.
I... ( added 38 days ago.) |
A Fun Project: Working With Hundreds of Authors At the Same Time. -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
I always have a good idea it seems. Of course those good ideas always get me involved in another thing that I don't know how I will make the time for. Somehow I always do figure out how to manage and then I add something else to the list and have to figure out how I can manage everything all over... ( added 100 days 22 hours ago.) |

A Shooting In a Small Town Gives An Interesting Look Into Journalism. -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
It was after 10:00 pm when I got the call at home. It was a friend and he said that something big was happening at a local park. "Every squad car in the county is out there."
Under those circumstances, I got dressed, grabbed my camera and drove the eight blocks over to the park just off our... ( added 108 days 2 hours ago.) |
Books That Will Never Be Finished. -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
I was looking through all the back pile of manuscripts I have. A few are from writers who have gone on hiatus or have probably given up their task of finishing their great American novel.
I never admonish anyone for not finishing their manuscript as I might be the biggest culprit of that in... ( added 118 days 1 hour ago.) |
Computer Journalism a Great Job When You Get Sick. -
Mike Fak (5,738)
Mike Fak
Well, I am definitely under the weather with something. I'm not sure what but I know I have no energy, feel nauseous and my brain is as thick as molasses right now.
I doubt it's the swine flu although with all the bacon and pork chops I have eaten over the years, I'm sure if the pigs could... ( added 156 days ago.) |

Teresa Ortiz
Greetings fellow writers and new members of the Searchwarp family!

If you are anything like me when I first joined SW--and some of you are--you are constantly watching your rating and anxiously... ( added 288 days 23 hours ago.) |
A Conjunction an Adverb and a Preposition - What do These Have to do with Writing? -
- Teresa Ortiz (11,020)
Teresa Ortiz
The other day someone sent me an email in response to something I had written. He said I was an encouragement to him and he was looking forward to reading more from me. No harm here, this made me feel good. The problem is he went on to tell me that I was a prolific writer.
What in the heck... ( added 1 year 94 days ago.) |

Let's do the Search Warp again!
It's astounding, words are fleeting
Misinterpretation takes its toll
But read closely, not very much longer
I believe I can save your soul

Is What I Write About Making a Difference - Even Jesus knew only One out of Four Would Listen -
- Teresa Ortiz (11,020)
Teresa Ortiz
I awoke this morning thinking about Robert Malaccio's farewell article. As I read his response to my comment and a comment that Gary Halsey left for him, my heart was saddened - angered really. Although this is more of a personal rant, I do hope to make a few points that would encourage all who... ( added 217 days 23 hours ago.) |
Do You Know What Wa-la Or Wa-lah Means? -
Yangki Christine Akiteng (131,357) 
Yangki Christine Akiteng
I am one of those people who has a habit of incorporating a few "foreign language" words or "cool" phrases into my written and spoken English. Some of these words and phrases have a way of adding flavour and personality when interjected in the right places. I've however, found out through... ( added 226 days 22 hours ago.) |
Mother: Leaving a Trace -
Tex Norman (4,200) 
Tex Norman
My mother is in her 70's and her health is not good. She has been fighting cancer for several years, and had other geriatric problems that put her in the hospital frequently. She walks with a walker, and as unpleasant as the truth is to admit, I must admit that her time with us is limited. Duh.... ( added 265 days 5 hours ago.) |
To Dream Big -
Sara O'Rourke (791) 
Sara O'Rourke
I want to be somebody. I don't want celebrity, but I want fame. I want people to know my name, and when they hear my name, I want it to make them think. I'm now at the point where every morning I wake up and the first and only thing I think about is writing. I was meant to be a writer. When... ( added 1 year 31 days ago.) |
Where Do Ideas Come From? -
Jared Wilson (1,196) 
Jared Wilson
From the Idea Fairy, of course.
I have read that "Where do you get your ideas?" is the number one
question authors receive. (I cannot vouch for that from experience,
since as far as I know, no one has ever asked me.) Answers are as
varied as the writers giving them.
The truth, I suspect... ( added 1 year 43 days ago.) |
Last Hunt -
- Ted Gragg (496)  
Ted Gragg
It was fall. The old
man had made 81 years. Seventy years he had hunted the wily deer of the
Carolina lowlands. Seventy seasons since his father had given him the 12
gauge L.C. Smith double barrel shotgun that rested across his lap. Seventy good
seasons in the forests. Some years had... ( added 1 year 123 days ago.) |
How To Handle Commentators Who Disagree With Your Writing -
Stephany Springer (43,257) 
Stephany Springer
As someone who has worked as a writer for some time, I have seen lots of arguments in the comment sections of articles. A person will leave a comment in disagreement of an issue that a writer wrote about, then the writer will respond negatively or rudely and the matter escalates until it seems...

The Struggling Writer and the Advertising Scandal -
Ieuan Dolby (1,244) 
Ieuan Dolby
I am a struggling writer! I struggle to write something worthwhile!
Just the other day, during my brains agonising struggles, it dawned on me that over the last two months I had not written one article, not one sad 'memo-to-self' nor had I entered one word into my sad Blog, yet I have been... ( added 2 years 215 days ago.) |

Kacycarr
After pulling out of the Q & A competition it was only right to come back and let you know what life's like since moving on. It's been two days now and life's crap, and still not moved on, in fact I can't stop thinking about the fun I had, and what I learned from the experience. In a short space...

Greetings Fellow Travelers ...

What's in Your Pending Articles Folder? -
Terry Mitchell (4,981) 
Terry Mitchell
I don't know about other writers, but I keep about five to ten articles in a "pending articles" folder at all times. The articles I keep there are those that, in my opinion, are not quite ready for primetime yet.
A few are ultimately merged in with other articles. About 20% of these articles... ( added 122 days 1 hour ago.) |

Terry Mitchell
Many authors, especially those who write for the Web, use various techniques and practices that help them get the maximum number of readers possible. While I've successfully used some of them myself, there are others that I just refuse to do. I have listed five of them below.

Ghost-writing: A half-century tribute to John F. Kennedy -
- Philip Yaffe (790)
If you were there at the time, you will find it hard to realize that the 50th anniversary of the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy is rapidly approaching. The iconic 35th President of the United States was elected in a close-run contest against then Vice President Richard Nixon on Nov. 8, 1960... ( added 156 days 10 hours ago.) |
