Long Tail Writing

What we do without thinking, via habit, helps define most of our life. Some speculate that it is what our lives are built upon. We simply go from one ingrained procedure, like a computer, to the next. This is why writing every day is so important. Writing daily helps your thought structure and makes it much greater than you would normally would have access to. They call this better word structure a writing practice. This is the true power of writing every day. A writing structure can include three components. There may be more components than these, but these three are the ones I can think of easily. Structure one: Goals When you have writing goals, it helps alleviate a very common problem. That problem is what to write. By taking away that extra consideration, you spend less time preparing, and more time writing. Structure two: Revision My least favorite topic is editing. I hate it. I think I hate editing so much because I need to rely on software to help me with grammar. I also hat...

Lately I've been working on building a new writing style. It all started when I read about the snowflake method. In this idea, you take one part and expand it.

There are many things to write, but never enough time to express them correctly. Today I will look into five reasons I love to write. 1. To become my own favorite author. This reason is fairly direct. Anytime I find something cool that another author has done, I want to make it my own and better. The hope is that I can build writing that is amazing. It’s also amazing to think I could have my favorite author write as much as I desire. 2. To surprise and make someone happy; and to break away from their routine. It’s easy to look at fantasy or fiction stories and assume they are a waste of time. It’s not like you gain marketable skills after each epic book series. Instead, writing allows us to relax in our day-to-day lives. We can unwind and let ourselves be entertained with the various stories. We don’t always need to gain something for it to be worthwhile. 3. To own things that will generate money far into the future. I’ve always been attracted to the idea of automated work. I lik...
