VOLUME 23, ISSUE 51 | DECEMBER 22, 2023 |
WHENEVER YOU
CAN When a writer reaches out and asks if they can meet me, have a coffee, even have lunch, and they are willing to come anywhere near my hometown, I try to oblige. It's a way of giving back. It's a way of keeping a fan. It's a way of sharing a side of what I do with someone who just might understand why I do it. Recently I had coffee with someone, and I
think we've clicked. It's our second coffee. She is with a critique group, and she has written most of two books. She is striving to master a voice, and I like what I see. What really caught my eye was when I arrived, she was editing on a piece on her laptop, squeezing in her work during empty minutes waiting for me to arrive. That's what writers do. They are thinking story when they aren't writing, and they are writing whenever
they can. I wish I could explain how important that is. That urge to capitalize on minutes to get in those sentences isn't something you have or don't have. It's something you coach yourself to do. It's developing a habit. Because once you instill that habit, wow oh wow, your production goes through the roof. You can't sit idle without thinking story. I wish I could give you that as a Christmas gift. . . the ability to crave to write.
I can preach it, though. If you choose one New Year's resolution, make it to write whenever you have minutes. Not an hour. Minutes. It doesn't take long for you want to reach for a keyboard or piece of paper the second your butt hits a chair. And those moments add up. I promise. |

Apply now and take your writing to the next level https://www.newschool.edu/writing/ SETTING THOSE GOALS For the most part, people hate goals. They hate making the goals, or they love making them but hate following through on them. It's why New Year's Resolutions catch so much crap. We talk big then let them fizzle after, what, one week? What if you don't want to set goals? Then don't. However, if you want to write a book, publish articles, or establish your book in a bookstore, you'll need goals. Life doesn't just happen without you planning for it. At least not the type of life you'd like to have. Instead of omitting goals altogether, try setting your goals via different ways to see if one method works better than another. 1) Word count - Regardless what you write, get in your words. Set it daily or set it weekly. Mark your calendar of your goal...then of your success. 2) Macro - Finish your book in a given number of months. Turn in twelve stories in a year. No details, just big picture goals. Maybe you happen to be a person who doesn't like being tied down. But keep that goal front and center, and note
accomplishments on your calendar to keep track. 3) Dates - By certain dates you will have a list of items written and/or submitted. Make the dates tight if you need bite-sized goals, weekly, for instance. Or make the dates loose if you prefer laissez-faire in your achievements, like quarterly. Maybe a monthly deadline suits you best, and you sit down and analyze your success on a specific date each month. 4) Maintain a number - Keep a dozen (or whatever number you choose - don't make it small) submissions outstanding at all times. I've used this one and it worked well for me. Use it for submitting articles to publications, applying to freelance gigs, entering contests, or pitching your book to agents. Let's say it's a dozen. Work hard to get that number pitched and out into the world. When you receive a rejection, stop and submit in order to maintain that
number 12 (or whatever number). If you receive an acceptance, stop and submit, again, to preserve that number 12. The task becomes maintaining the number, and you become so focused on moving forward and submitting that the acceptances suddenly happen when you least expect them. But to have zero goals is to decrease your odds of being successful. Without a destination before you, without something on the horizon to strive for, you tend
to wander. Then you get nowhere. Story Unlikely's annual short story contest is back! With NO entry fee, NO genre restrictions, and a $1,500 prize package, what do you have to lose?

Email: hope@chopeclark.com to schedule events, online or otherwise. There's starting to be life out
there! You wanna fly, you got to give up the sh*t that weighs you down. ~Toni Morrison Hello, Hope. I wanted to send you a big thank you! After I retired and decided to use this stage of my life to write, you were in the first writing critique group I joined. You always gave me the best feedback on my stories. You directed me to professional online groups that taught me how to write for children. All of the comments I got from those first critique friends were helpful, but I struggled because lots of the comments conflicted with what I was learning specific to children's literature. Your encouragement to research and learn more about that particular genre gave me a foundation for the craft that I'm now able to share with other writers. I remember the evening your first comment on my story
was to change one of the main points to something more universal, something that would connect with a wider audience. Ouch! But I did it, and it worked better. I learned the very valuable lesson of being willing to "kill my darlings." I also remember your final comment, "I would buy this book." I felt like I had gotten my first acceptance letter. Through "Funds for Writers," I created a system where I keep 3 revolving content documents
on my desktop: one for contests, one for publishers, and one for periodical publications. When I read FFW, I copy the submission opportunities that are relevant to my genres and paste them into the documents. I don't have a tangible success story to share...yet. 😏 But I wanted you to know that there are probably many unpublished writers like me out there who use your newsletter to support their efforts. I'm just lucky enough to see
you in person and benefit from your knowledge and encouragement personally from time to time. 'Tis the season for giving, and I wanted you to know that I treasure the writing gifts you've given me. Here's to a merry Christmas and a happy prosperous New Year, Angie Raymond

Returning to Freelance Writing
|
|
By Alex J. Coyne Returning to freelancing can be a sudden change if you’re been working the nine-to-five. Theoretically you believe you’re prepared for it, but sometimes the experience likens that of being thrown into the deep end. The mixture of fear, freedom, and responsibility hits you all at once. Here’s how to return to freelance writing with success after you’ve been working elsewhere for a while. Mentorship Advice Mentors can steer
you in good directions. Language practitioner Helen Ueckermann is one of my early writing mentors. Helen told me to approach reputable clients with reasonable rates even in a difficult writing market -- advice that has helped me avoid many copywriting mills that trap authors into low payment rates. Low rates are tempting when things are difficult, but authors don’t have to accept the content mill avenue when other clients still need professional writers. The Financial
Part Prepare as best possible. Avoid debt, and pay ones you have responsibly: when freelancing, debt can become a sinkhole of one bad month and then another. Update tax information, and be aware of financial laws that apply to your own business. Mistakes happen, but mistakes should never keep happening. Set your goals, and decide you’re going to work hard every day of the process. Budget when a steady writing job or project has come through: what are your
work-related expenses during this job, and how should your money and time go into them? It can help you to avoid those notorious freelancer shortfalls in future [or know when a job pays too little to cover it]. Writing References References can re-establish your place where your name hasn’t been for a while. I asked customers for honest testimonials, which ones like Levy Online were kind enough to give. Featured testimonials are crucial for showing your
abilities to new visitors. “I’ve been here, and done this before.” is a powerful returning statement to make. Some of your previous clients may even use this opportunity to discuss new writing projects. Fresh Clips What comes up when folks search for you is important. Samples should never appear outdated, or else Google and potential clients assume you haven’t done anything new in ages. Writing ‘The sports bet & the bunny chow’ with my cowriter
was a liberating move back into writing. Business didn’t skyrocket overnight, but it let an entire newsletter know that the byline was making a comeback. Recent, excellent samples engage your readership. Old samples make it look like you’ve been out of the business for too long. Always work on getting more recent bylines to show new editors and clients. Letting People Know I registered alexjcoyne.com as a website domain, making a switch from an older address.
Easier to remember, this small change brought positive contacts with proofreading work. Always claim your domain name, and register a few possible alternatives that can redirect to the original. The website also received a Subscribe-button, and new social media share buttons. Without calls-to-action, potential clients won’t feel the need to hire or know how to get in touch. Upskilling to Keep Up When I first started writing, the best Artificial Intelligence was
playing chess and not trying to write website copy. The harsh truth is that change is a constant. Do you think workers didn’t feel like this in the Industrial Revolution, too? Empower yourself if you’d like to return to a competitive industry. Upskill and learn new things, whether through formal training or not. I’ve worked for legal transcription firms, and I’ve learned via a professional vocal academy. I’ve also expanded my skills to include SEO writing, ebook formatting, and
translation - and I know my way around basic HTML and C++ when necessary for a client. Everything you know and learn, levels you up. Writing Federations Writing groups can make singular writers feel less alone and provide essential support and contacts. Federations like the South African Freelancers’ Association, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and the Horror Writers Association have job boards, which show opportunities you don’t see outside
these groups. More groups include the Editorial Freelancers Association, the Professional Editors Network, and the American Copy Editors Society. Join at least one professional writers’ group for their support and advice. Stay Close to Your Niche A niche is a terrible thing to waste. If past writing samples speak to a particular crowd, your experience is valuable in freelancing. I’ve been a contract bridge writer for years. It’s a market of readers
I’ve always enjoyed writing for [and working with!]. I returned to bridge writing in early-2023 for ABTA, IntoBridge and BridgeScanner, excited for what the future could bring. Explore your niche again, and you may find fresh writing opportunities, plus it’s a subject you’ll be excited about and can talk more easily.. It’s [Still] Hard Work A lot in freelancing have changed, like Artificial Intelligence authorship and updated rules for search engines. But many
things have stayed the same. It’s still hard work, and it still means late nights with [sometimes unsuccessful] attempts at balance. Is it sometimes frustrating? Yes. Can it be freeing? Also yes. About the Author: Alex J. Coyne is a writer, proofreader, and card author. He has a love for all things weird, gonzo, and things that go bump in the night.

You have a book idea, but you don’t know where to begin. You’ve started your book but stalled in the muddy middle. You’ve rewritten the first couple of chapters over and over but have gotten no further. Does any of this sound like you? Or, do you wonder… Is it worth my time to write a book? Will anyone want to read what I have to say?
Will I be able to figure out how to get it published even if I can write it? These are all excellent (albeit somewhat discouraging) questions. And guess what? We have the answers for you. Sign up for our FREE virtual conference happening January 1-5, 2024 (and tell your writerly friends to sign up too)! Delivered straight to your inbox, you’ll get two videos a day that week focused on supporting and encouraging your writing journey.
