The next type of exercise would be freewriting in order to open your subconscious mind to new jotting down your basic thoughts each day. You don’t write with a filter or contr

  Are you a reluctant writer, well here’s 7 writing activities to help you get your mojo back. Writing is never an easy job. Whether it be stumped for a writing idea, subject matter or lack of research causes a good writer to hem and haw about sitting down and writing something. I know that’s what happens to me as a professional writer. I know what I want to write about, but the words just won’t come for some reason. When writing isn’t fun anymore and becomes a chore, that’s when you have to use my 7 activities to help you get back to fun in writing again. 1)       First off try to write a bit of poetry.

Each writer is talented yet underpaid for their talent. The WGA, Writer Guild of America which is a union that covers the talented individuals who make up the stories, and write the dialogue for movies, television, the news, radio, and other outlets within the entertainment industry is currently fighting for the rights and pay of their members and even nonmembers working within the industry. While I am not a member of the WGA, I support their work in fighting for proper pay scale for their talent and ability to create the best characters, dialogue and scenes that help visualize the story they are telling each day of the year.
