DO YOU WRITE FROM SCRATCH?

There's something about a box cake mix that shouts short-cut
to me. I was raised by Martha Stewart, Jr. Actually Mom is
a few years older than Martha, but she had all the moves before
Martha became a household word.

No box cakes in the house. Uh-uh. All from scratch. And if
you didn't have a family recipe, you relied upon a Southern
Living Cookbook for no-fail recipes. But you did NOT open a
box. And heaven forbid you tried canned frosting.

That kitchen work ethic has stuck in my head. Having grown up
on homemade fixins, I can taste the difference. Guess that's
why I garden. If I can cook with the real ingredients instead
of freeze-dried, frozen or canned, I just feel more
accomplished...healthier...proper.

Writing is a scratch recipe. No excuses and no substitutions
for the long haul in developing a good story. If you want it
quick and easy, it doesn't taste nearly as good - to you or
to those you serve it to.

There's something about carefully measuring ingredients to
get it right, even if you have to repeat the recipe to make
it rise, brown, or bake properly. Nothing beats the look
on someone's face when he tastes an original combination
of items married into a perfect recipe. You have to admit,
when you savor homemade then taste a box mix, the difference
is striking. Simply, one is memorable; the other is not.
It's like comparing Gordon Ramsey's gourmet risotto from
Hell's Kitchen to powdered macaroni-and-cheese.

There may be times where five-minute mac-n-cheese fills the
bill. Maybe you throw a cake mix into cupcake molds for
a second-grader's birthday party where all they want is
the icing and sprinkles anyway. But memorable? Don't think so.

It takes time to create anything from scratch. The trial
and error aspect of it is what makes the end result so
superbly satisfying. The balance is better, the flavor
sublime, and the experience is one remembered for a
whole lot longer.

After all, who marvels over a mix? Everyone church
bazaar baker understands that made-from-scratch miracles
make other cooks jealous . . . leaving them with a craving
to duplicate the success.

WORDS OF SUCCESS

Our most important thoughts are those which contradict our emotions.

~Paul Valery

SUCCESS STORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This week the success is my own. Last weekend I attended the
Blue Ridge Writers' Conference. The night before the one-day
event, they held a social meet-and-greet so attendees could
chat with the faculty. I was one of those faculty. They also asked
us to read something. I dared to read from the opening chapter
of my novel coming out next winter.

The rush was awesome, baby. I'd timed it just right. I was
also accustomed to reading it in my writers' group, so I
had the characters down pat. One moment I looked up to see
the room standing perfectly still, listening. Oh my gosh.
It was ...it was...amazing.

The two sessions I presented the next day were solid.
At least six people said they came to meet me after seeing
the ad in this newsletter. I met so many wonderful people,
sweet people, all writers with passion.

The facility was an historic courthouse converted to an arts
center. The organizers had their act together. The food was
just right and more than I could eat.

This, my friends, was a conference to take note of. Just
under a hundred people, for one day. Inexpensive and set
in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Imagine rocking in the soft
spring sun on the front porch during lunch.

Note this one for 2012. The right number of attendees, the
right number of presenters, the right everything.

ARTICLE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shorter Than Short?

By C.M. Saunders

In case you hadn't noticed, the world is shrinking. And not
just in a global sense. Everything is getting smaller; houses,
phones, cars, computers (everything, it seems, except TV's,
which are getting progressively BIGGER, surely telling its
own story!). When you think about it, fiction is no different.
In just a few short decades we have progressed from the sprawling
1,000-page plus tomes of yesteryear to the comparatively concise
offerings flooding the market today. Gradually, novels became
novellas and novellas became novelettes.

Likewise, the traditional short story has also been quietly
downsizing. Recent years have seen an upsurge in the popularity
of flash fiction, but in some circles even this is now considered
a work of almost epic proportions. Shorter fiction masquerades
under a variety of monikers, the most common being nano-fiction
and micro-fiction. The tags themselves are interchangeable, with
the parameters set by the individual publication. But don't let
that put you off. Instead, rise to the challenge. Spend some
time experimenting and see what you can come up with under a
self-imposed word-count limit. You may be surprised what you
can achieve when the pressure is on!

At the very least you will be forced to get to the crux of your
story very quickly, after which you can add as much meat to the
bones as you like. With lower word-counts you'll be able to
churn out more stand-alone pieces during a given period of time,
thereby increasing your chances of publication (though obviously
not increasing your earning potential very much as most
publications pay by the word). With shorter work the overall
turnover is usually much quicker, leaving you free to pursue
other markets if your piece is deemed unsuitable for one
particular publication.

Most observers agree that the market for extremely short shorts
of fiction arose out of necessity. Its all about time, and
consumer choice. With so many possible other uses of the reader's
time, unless they are a dedicated fan of your work, it is
unlikely the average person will devote much of their precious
spare time to your scribblings. They want a quick fix, a
convenient way to kill a few minutes, which then allows them
a sense of satisfaction or fulfilment when the story is over.
To put it another way, the 21st-century reader wants to be
touched, thrilled and moved, all in the space of a few
precious minutes, which they give only grudgingly. That
roughly translates as a few hundred words of your lovingly-
crafted prose, if you are lucky. Minimalism is most definitely
in.

If you are up to the challenge, this pro-paying market has a
strict upper word limit of 500.

Twenty20 Journal - http://www.twenty20journal.com

How about trying to achieve the feat in 200 or less?

Leodegraunce - http://www.leodegraunce.com/guidelines.html

Nano Fiction - http://nanofiction.org/?cat=5

While now it may be more difficult than ever to have anything
accepted by traditional mainstream publishers, the Internet
has opened up many more avenues than it has closed and created
a plethora of opportunities for the industrious writer. One
burgeoning area are tweetmags. 140 characters, or the maximum
length of a tweet. That's right, you can actually GET PAID
for Tweeting!

Nanoism - http://nanoism.net/submit/

Thaumatrope - http://thaumatrope.greententacles.com/submissions/

Lastly, several independent publishers are actively seeking
shorter than short fiction for inclusion in anthologies.

Boxfire Press - http://boxfirepress.com/pages/submissions

Sure, the landscape is changing, but don't become a fossil.
Follow trends. Carve a niche for yourself in the new literary
world and capitalize on it!

WHY ADVERTISE IN FUNDSFORWRITERS?

For my first advertising for my fledging business I needed to
make strategic choices within a very limited budget. I chose
to advertise in two places:  the Funds for Writers (FFW)
newsletter and a major writer's magazine (circulation of 100,000).
FFW far outperformed the magazine! From my first FFW ad I got an
immediate and enormous spike in traffic to my web site and within
24-hours had more than 100 people sign up on my website. And that
was just the first ad! Over the course of the six-week ad campaign
I saw a noticeable spike in traffic after each ad hit people's
inboxes and in total garnered at least 500 new sign-ups.

If you're thinking about advertising in FFW, do it!
