WITH PRACTICE...

I once took the AWAI course for copywriters. You know the one.
It's where they talk about six-figure income from copywriting
and how to earn some serious bucks once you take their course.
They asked me to be an affiliate, and I did it for a long while,
but one condition was that I receive a copy of the first course
to study.

Yes, it was a legit course. The advice was sound. I endorsed it
for a long while. One of the simplest lessons in the course, however,
amazed me. They advised to simply copy down existing letters used
in commercial campaigns, written by well-known, highly successful
copywriters.

I felt like I was copying my mother's cursive writing as a child.
I'd read a line, then write it. Read another line, then write it.
The logic was that there is power in muscle memory. When we repeat
something, we retain it in our minds.

After all, we practice sports over and over to get it right.
Sewing, running, painting, singing, whatever it is, the more we
repeat the drills, the closer we get to doing the task well.

Using that theory, you can copy great pages of writing by great
writers, and the mastery of their talent will stick in your head.

Before you holler plagiarism, I assure you that the exercise does not
mean that you copy the work into your own story. And it does not mean
that you'll accidentally spit out three paragraphs of JK Rowling's
words into your story and not know it. But...you will absorb some
of her techniques.

Greg Digneo wrote a post on Boost Blog Traffic last week called
"The Brain-Dead Simple but Astonishingly Effective Way to Become a
Better Writer." Imagine how my brows rose when I saw this blog post
telling other bloggers to copy great blog posts to learn how to
master blogging. ( http://boostblogtraffic.com/better-writer/ )

What I found fascinating in Greg's post, however, was that Picasso
learned how to paint so well by copying masters. So I figured, why
not try copying a page from a book you love? Do it several times.
You know what can happen? Here's just a few potentials:

You learn to write without so much passive voice.
You learn to write more colorfully.
You learn to write in a certain verb tense better.
You learn to write a particular point of view better.
You learn to diversify your sentence structure better.
And the list goes on and on...

Don't want to copy the pages verbatim? Then read them over and over.
Your mind is a phenomenal sponge. It absorbs. It learns when you
don't think it's learning. Make yourself read great works, repeatedly,
and the skills sink in.

Or you could practice writing them, pretending you're in the mind
of a great author, hoping some of that magic sloughs off on you.

THE SHY WRITER REBORN
An Introvert's Wake-Up Call

Shy types, rejoice! Introversion may seem like a major obstacle to building
a successful writing career, but this wonderful “covers-all-the-bases” book
handily debunks the notion. The only bad news? You’ll have no more excuses
not to succeed! Highly recommended.
~Peter Bowerman, Author
“The Well-Fed Writer” series

WORDS OF SUCCESS

If we had a keen vision and feeling
of all ordinary human life,
it would be like hearing the grass grow
and the squirrel's heart beat,
and we should die of the roar
which lies on the other side of silence.

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

Travel Articles Aren’t for Travel Magazines Only

By Barbara Weddle

You shouldn’t limit your efforts for a travel-article sale by
targeting only travel magazines. Christian magazines, frugal-
living magazines, regionals, lifestyles, newspapers, seniors
magazines, general magazines and even pet magazines (if your pet
article is travel related) and more all print travel articles.

FAMILY FUN, a family and parenting magazine, has several travel
columns. Two are “We Tried It” and “You are There.” These one-
page articles detail a family’s experience trying a specific
activity or at a participatory attraction. Christian magazines
often combine information about interesting places with missions
and/or ministry opportunities. Business magazines have short
articles pertaining to travel--business trips, airports that provide
things to do between flights, etc. Regional or lifestyle magazines--
MIDWEST LIVING and SOUTHERN LIVING, for example--look for short
pieces on scenic drives, city profiles, road trips, destinations,
etc. EVERYDAY WITH RACHAEL RAY, a food and lifestyle magazine,
usually has up to ten pages of travel-related articles. Even frugal-
living newsletters purchase travel pieces. I sold a short article
on how to save money on the purchase of a rental car and another on
how to save money when taking a road trip to THE DOLLAR STRETCHER.
And, of course, there are the writing magazines. Once you have a
little travel-writing savvy under your belt, tell others how you
do it by writing how-to-write articles or marketing strategies
articles for such print magazines as THE WRITER or onlines or
newsletters such as WRITERS/WEEKLY or FUNDS FOR WRITERS.

Travel articles embody more than the 2,000-3,000 word feature
articles on destinations and the like; they also include 50-150-
word quick-hit pieces on the latest travel trends--gear, gadgets,
etc.--and other short 250-500 word pieces on everything from dining
and nightlife to health and transportation as long as it’s travel
related. Travel markets other than the traditional travel markets
are ubiquitous and virtually endless.

Travel articles often straddle one or more market boundaries.
That is why so many different types of magazines are able to use
them. For example, a story about people with disabilities or medical
conditions using air transportation would be both health and travel
related and a story about elite travel status could find a home in
a business magazine and a travel magazine. I am currently working
on a short 250-word write-up for ARTHRITIS TODAY on a home-grown
strategy my son came up with for a container to carry injection
needles on board an airplane, an article prompted by a trip with
my granddaughter who has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and must
administer shots to herself. This same article would also make a
good fit for a travel magazine as it is both health and travel
related.

You can often glean the travel information for your alternative
magazine markets from what you used in a larger more in-depth travel
article you wrote for a bona fide travel magazine. I recently wrote
a more-than-2,000-word logistics article on a major city for TRAVEL
SMART, for example. From that one article I was able to cull a 600-
word how-to for a writing magazine, a 1,000-word article for another
and a 700-word how-to for a frugal living newsletter (all travel-
related articles, of course). And I’m not finished. I tentatively
plan a short distillery profile (travel related) for a bourbon
magazine (non-travel publication), an idea that came to me when I
included a distillery tour as part of my lengthy logistics article.
As I’d already researched and reported on these spin-offs in my
original article, recycling them to other non-travel markets was
fairly simple.

As freelance writers we need to keep the checks coming in. If
you’re a travel writer, cash in (I mean that literally) on every
opportunity to “crossover” into other non-travel magazines with
your travel articles.

Bio-
Barbara Weddle has had travel pieces, book reviews, stories,
how-to’s and more published in more than 250 magazines--MIDWEST
LIVING, THE WRITER, TRAVEL SMART, THE SOUTHERN REVIEW, to name a few.
