June 24, 2008

Breaking into anything takes a plan. If you are a thief or a robber, then you have to have a plan. That plan would include: where, what and when.
Breaking into publishing also takes a plan. The old journalism four-point-outline (who, what, where, when) can help you get started. In creative writing you can add “why”.
There are other necessary elements (tools) in a writing plan:

As a Powerful Choleric/Popular Sanguine personality, I am a natural at voicing my opinion with gusto. I have been "on stage" since the age of five when I made my first income at family reunions reciting the Japanese version of London Bridge is Falling Down. It's true that twenty-five cents a pop is not a lot of money but in a room of 50 people, it adds up.
Today, I speak in front of hundreds and on occasion, thousands of people at a time at retreats and conferences, I host a syndicated talk-radio show, and emcee events across the country. It's safe to assume, I love to speak but, when it comes to writing, not so much. I am a declared "Speaker Who Writes" yet I'm proud to say because of my connections through CLASS and my friends Tama, Allison and Brenda, I have become a more confident writer. I believe increased confidence over time will result in excellence (Excellence: Being the best me, I can be in any given venue). I currently write articles for magazines, a local newspaper, and online (check out www.cbn.com for my health & fitness column) I am in the process of completing my first book (early stages... oh how painful and prolonged the pangs of labor are... but the results will be worth it)
