Creative Poem Writing

Creative Writing Welcome

You know that you're supposed to be a writer, whether it's fiction,
short stories or poetry, but how do you get started and published?

You don't need a bachelors in creative writing to be a published
author - you just need creativity and commitment!

We've found the following creative writing websites to be most helpful in giving
ideas and dates for poetry contests:-

• www.poets.org-Free info on poetry contests, publishing your
  poetry & more
  
• www.firstwriter.co.uk-Dozens of new writing contests, get new
  ones by email
  

• www.winningwriters.com- Tom Howard Poetry Contest

If you're stuck for ideas on your writing - there are some simple
ways that you can get those creative juices flowing again:-

• stuck for initial ideas? Write down a list of all your own
  experiences in life, at work, at home - this is a great way to
  get started on successful writing.  Just consider how well-
  loved books and TV series like "Little House on the Prairie"
  were to realise that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote best when she
  wrote about what she knew
  
  
• get motivated by money- did you know that you can get paid
  for your writing?  Online companies like Elanceoffer you the
  opportunity to bid for all sorts of writing - from articles to
  books.  You don't even need your own website - and you can
  get started straight away.
  

Did you know that the English writer Graham Green attributes his
success to a simple habit?  He made himself  write at least 500
words daily, whether he was feeling like it or not.

Even if you don't feel like you're "in the mood" write something -
even if it's an article for someone elses website that you email off to
them!  

Really not sure whether your writing is good enough, take one of
the many online writing courses that will help you to improve your
style.

Thanks for visiting - I hope that you will find some great ideas for
your creative writing.
