Keys to Characterisation
Far too many inexperienced writers create flat, stereotypical characters: the brave fireman, the damsel in distress, the strict schoolmistress. The best characters are those who evoke emotions within the reader - fear, admiration, affection, laughter, horror? If the writer fails to make us care about the characters, no matter how ingenious the plot, we will toss the story aside without a second thought.

Breaking the "Rules" of Paragraph Structure

The humorist Sam Pickering advises us that, "all people and sentences are disobedient". The other day, I had a good laugh, when I remembered an academic advisor.

How Do You Start Practicing Argument With Thomas Aquinas?
|
Language permeates our lives: it is essential to nearly everything we do. Language organizes the world into manageable units or bricks that can be manipulated and understood. There are four modes of discourse: exposition, narration, description, and argument (persuasion). Argument employs logical reasoning to get the reader to accept the assertion, and persuasion uses a combination of logic and emotion.

Author Tips - Stop Procrastinating

Perhaps the greatest roadblock to becoming an author or writing articles may be procrastination! I speak much along these lines in my book, "Diligence, The Master Key To Achieving Your Dreams." We keep putting things off, saying that we will get to it later. This is true for practically any area where true success and progress is available and attainable, however, never reached because one procrastinates.

Author Tip - Following Inspiration
|
In an interview, someone asked me, "What motivates you to write? My response is that inspiration can come from many things. Sometimes I am simply impressed from within to write concerning a particular subject. I believe that I write this way, and one more way that I will share in a moment, more than any other. I do not just write a book to write a book. I usually write because I am impressed and "feel led" to write. An idea for a book or article would rise up from within me and flood my thinking.

Author Tips - Overcome Your Fear
|
Fear will paralyze you, if you let it. Many people are afraid to write a book because they are afraid, perhaps for various reasons. Some may be afraid to write because they wonder if anyone will ever want to read something they wrote. They believe that they may just not be good enough. After all, who will want to listen to what I have to say, right? The answer to that is you will never know if you are too afraid to try. With over seven billion people in the world, your fear is unfounded and out-done. Someone, somewhere is more likely to read what you have to say than not. So, do not let that fear stop you. Write that book. Write that article.

How to Find Professional Journal Article Editing Services

When looking for an editor for your journal article, consider what kind of editing or proofreading services you want or need. For example, are you interested in basic proofreading (e.g., checking for typos or grammatical errors)? Do you require editorial services (e.g., language enhancements, structure, organization, etc.)?
