Get Your Writing Noticed: #1 A Series Introduction
A
This is the first in a series of posts about getting our writing noticed. All seven posts are now available on this site.
I propose to cover the following items in turn:
1. Writing fiction for the 21st century. Making our writing accurate, fantastic, sensuous and gripping. The evolution of fiction.
2. Writing non-fiction for the 21st century. Grabbing the reader up front, digital first, key words & participant voices.
3. Theme – the make or break element.
4. Pace – keeping our writing moving.
5. Emotion – making the reader feel something.
6. Meaningful social media – building a real following on social media.
7. Advanced social media for writers – what works and what doesn’t.
This series of posts is a free of charge service. If you have thoughts or comments on any post, or questions, please submit them at any time.
The first post is now up and available here.
One of Grainne, the Pirate Queen’s castles in Ireland. Grainne lived 400 years ago. I was inside this castle last month. It’s a few hours drive from where I live. Click on it for a clearer image.

Great plan. Will certainly look forward to the articles. Is there any way of your sending automated alerts when you put up the articles, so that one does not miss it?

Couldn’t come at a better time for me — thanks very much! And I like the photograph! Like you I’ve spent considerable time trying to master the craft. Only now am I turning my attention to all the rest.
Thanks for your comment, Paul. Interesting blog you have too!
Thank you Mr O’Brien. I justread your comment in the Guardian and have been studying the craft of writing for the past two years. I would be glad to read your advice.
Dear L.P – tall order question!! is it worthwhile to add anything to script that might help turn it into a film later on??
Good question. I would always try to make the story as strong as possible, keep the action moving and paint vivid characters, but I don’t think you can assume any story will be made into a film. Let it work as a story first, then see what happens after that…L
Great stuff. #HookedOnWriting
