Enhancing Your Writing Style
So you've been writing for a while now. You've started to develop your own style and now you want to move forward with it. But how? What do you do now? What are some ways you can help to enhance the writing style that you've spent so much precious time developing?
Over time I think you naturally get better. Reading other people's writing and comparing different styles are good ways to get ideas and to better enhance your own. Your personality and experience, own likes and dislikes, reading choices and basic life decisions all play a large role in the direction your writing is headed in.
I found a great list of basic style rules by Ginnie Wiehardt that you may also find useful.
Happy writing :)

Quote of The Day - 4
" When the power of love conquers the love of power,
the World will know Peace. "
Quote / Quote of the day
Chuckie T.
The All-Star, conceived in 1917. A clean break into the basketball shoe market by Converse and Chuck T.
You would later branch away from them and into a typical fashion trend, put to death several times only to rise again. My thin, flat footed friend, you certainly haven't changed much since then.
You're now immortal in the eyes of the fashionable beholder. As some may not know you, they are only ignorant of your history and long-time rule.
You are Mulatto, a mixture of black and white. A standard that is plain and uncomplicated by nature. But extremely famous, seemingly built upon what I think is greater:
Affordability and adoration of the young consumer.
A true thing of the past for the baby-boomers. Inherently ours, young fashionistas of the new age. No longer fascinated by only blacks and grays.
A generation of loud individuality and personality.
A design so elementary, a white tee and stone-wash jeans can completely run away with your simplicity. As if there's no better place to be than here with Chuckie T.

Quote of The Day - 3
If you are alone, I'll be your shadow
If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder
If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile
But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me

8 Great Tips for Writing Dialog
Since the basic theme of this blog is about writing, no particular style or way of writing, but for people who generally love to do it, I figured I would forward some great tips on to you that I found to be rather useful.That is, if you find dialog writing interesting.
I was searching Google about some of the different styles of writing just to try to get a better understanding on some things. I came across a nice blog by Ginny Wiehardt which offers 8 great tips for writing Dialog.
According to Ginny,
Good dialog advances the story and fleshes out the characters while providing a break from straight exposition. Though it takes time to develop an ear for dialog, knowing these simple rules and avoiding obvious pitfalls makes a huge difference...

Writer's Block
Arrgh! This stupid writers block. What is it anyway? It can't be a wall 'cause if it was, i'd grab the paint cans and create something huge!! No, it can't be that...
I don't know. Im wrecking my brain over this today. I'm starting to realize that the more I think of what I want to write about, the more lost I feel. Maybe that's the great thing about writing? I don't have to actually think about what I want to write about. It really just...comes out.
Like my last post about Photography. I took a ride through a few of my favorite places, one being the area of downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, and I was surrounded by nothing but art. Just everywhere. And just so we're on the same page, I have this thing about graffiti. I am in love with it, ok? Anyway, I had no choice but to write about what I saw. My brain made me do it. I had no beginning and no destination, but it worked out for me.
So i'm sitting here now doing exactly what I know I shouldn't do: thinking about what to write today. Ahh well, it will hit me soon, I guess. We'll see what I come up with :)
