I have dear friend who recently told me that particularly on days when he feels frustrated about his writing, he asks himself – what did I do today that will move my writing career forward? And as he looks closely at that, he’s usually surprised to find that he did a whole lot of things. It’s just that like so much of life, forward movement is incremental, yes?

To paraphrase somebody – most of life is spent standing in line for something. But if it weren’t for the small, pixilated steps, the larger picture can never come into focus. Every day, we are pointillist painters, we writers. And here are the five areas of your writing life that for my money, are going to collectively bring a career into focus.

When life coach Bill Mayer talks about asking the right questions to achieve the life you dream about, the man knows of what he speaks! As a kid, he enjoyed the quintessential, picture perfect life. You know, Americana style. He was a high school honors student and prized athlete. He went home each night to the bosom of a loving and intact family. And like any adolescent, he wrestled with feelings of discontent and teenage angst. Normal, right? Right. What was different about young Bill, though, was the profound direction he took toward finding his own answers.

Kal Bishop’s 188 stage Hero’s Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.
[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

Hey what’s the big idea? Or a better question is whose idea was it in the first place. The internet is an ore mine filled with gold just waiting to be harvested. There is more information at the tips of our fingers than ever more. With the click of a mouse we can research answer questions, shop watch movies and listen to music.

A lot of information is bought and resold over and over again on the internet. There’s nothing new under the sun, however the package that the information comes in has changed colors to become more appealing to the eye. Through the years the products that we buy have become new and improved year after year.

Your book proposal needs a literary agent who is dedicated to the task of selling it for a high advance to a good publisher. But how can you tell if a literary agent is good for you? Some agents are with big agencies. Some are very well along in their careers. Others are younger and just starting out. Still others are in the middle point of their career. Some agents are very busy. Others are relatively idle. Some are busy but have a lot of energy and enthusiasm for their work, they love it, and they’re constantly on the lookout for new talent. Other agents are jaded and not interested in new clients.

Conducting a Great Teleseminar
By Andrea J. Lee

There is actually something rather mysterious about a TeleSeminar, isn’t there?

A certain intimacy that’s created in the sound of voices gathering together, that creates a depth of connection unlike one that you make when face to face.

Maybe because it’s a bit of an out of body experience, being on a TeleSeminar, that makes the connection seem almost spiritual at times.

And that’s the quality I think best characterizes the sound of coaching. It’s the sound of deep conversations and advanced communicating.

Why do I say all this?

Building article directories is all the rage now. Practically every time I submit an article I get a pop-up asking me if I’d like to build an article directory like the one I’m visiting. But I have no interest in that. I like to write and submit articles.
