I just came across an excellent website for writers today.  It was totally by pure chance and through a link in an email I was reading.  The email was the Daily Notes From The Universe that I receive and I’m sure many of you are family with these Tuts.  Anyway at the bottom of the email was a note that said.

Calling all creative writers, adventure seekers, and old souls….but mostly creative writers.  Tune in tomorrow, February 11^th at 10.30 AM EST, to hear Mike’s free LIVE INTERVIEW with the founder of the IACCW (International Association of Conscious & Creative Writers).  Writing and manifesting tips will be the topic.

So I immediately clicked on the link and this is what I found:

This is a brand new website that has created a brand new approach to conscious creativity, intuitive writing and contemporary publishing options.  These open the way for writers to discover their authentic voice.

Sounds amazing doesn’t it?  I have always wanted to find my real true voice in writing and this website focuses more on non-fiction that it does fiction so that really interested me.  Not that I don’t like fiction, I just find that I spend most of my time writing non-fiction and reading non-fiction lately that it is an area that has really kind of exploded in me.  I have some great ideas for books and reports and this website seem to be the key to helping me sift through all the mush in my brain and get it out into something readable.

The IACCW website says that they provide inspiration, information, support and connection for all writers so that they can overcome isolation (I know all about that), move through resistance (another thing I am very familiar with), and experience the sense of freedom and purpose which comes from fulfilling your true creative potential.   I think this is something that all writers want.

The website goes on to say that it really doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced author or you are just starting to write they want everyone to join and enjoy the journey of taking your message to the market successfully and with soul.

I signed up right away for the newsletter and the freebies that this website offers and I also registered for the free interview with Mike Dooley.  If anyone knows Mike Dooley’s work then you will know that he truly is an inspiration and I can’t wait to hear him speak.

You can join the IACCW as a paying member for just $129 per year which seems like a great price and you get plenty of benefits.  I won’t go into detail about them because if you are interested I know that you will go ahead and visit the website for yourself and besides I don’t want this post to sound like a sales pitch.

When I signed up for the free resources I got a special report titled “Discover Your Authentic Voice” and I will also receive their fortnightly ezine “The IACCW Journal – How To Succeed as a Conscious and Creative Writer”.  I have to admit I am really looking forward to this and I plan on paying my subscription fee for this website at the end of the month.

I have started reading the special report and here’s what I can tell you without spoiling it too much.  What I will tell you is that you get a 10 point action plan that will allow you to really figure out who you are when it comes to your writing.  The report explains about being in the zone and how to get your real voice to show through.

If you are interested in this then you might want to visit today or early tomorrow to sign up for the free interview and get your free gifts too.  Even just reading the free report you won’t be disappointed.

Until next time,

Keep Writing

This post was inspired by a comment from George Angus who you probably know is the owner over at Tumblemoose.com.  So George, this one is for you.

The internet has given rise to more and more freelance writing opportunities and the purpose of this post is to help you decide whether you really are a freelance writer or just one of those writers out to make a quick buck.  There are a number of questions that I want you to ask yourself and after that I will explain the answers.  Here goes:

1.      Are you passionate about writing?

2.      Are you constantly conjuring up ideas for new stories and articles?

3.      Do you see yourself still writing in 10, 20, even 50 (maybe a little excessive but you get the idea) years time?

4.      Do you spend most of your waking day thinking about writing?

5.      Can you imagine your life without writing?

Now here’s the second set of questions:

1.      Are you writing because you want to make money?

2.      Are you looking for freelance writing jobs on bidding websites?

3.      Are your rates $10 or less for an article?

4.      Are you looking to make some quick money?

5.      Did you find freelance writing when you were looking for a work at home opportunity?

Ok, questions over, let’s evaluate your answers.  For the first set of questions I am hoping that you answered “yes” to all the questions.  If you answered “no” to even one or two of these then my friend you could be just wasting your time.  Successful freelance writers are passionate writers.  They are the people who have always dreamed of being writers; they are people who couldn’t imagine anything more fulfilling than putting pen to paper and seeing their work in print.  They enjoy their work, they strive to be the best that they can be, and life without writing just doesn’t seem possible.

The second set of questions is really just to help clarify things further.  If you answered “yes” to these questions then I must be honest and tell you that you are not a freelance writer.  You may be passing yourself off as a freelance writer but the fact of it is you have just jumped on the latest work from home scheme that seems easy to do.  My advice to you is to enjoy this feeling and paid opportunity while it lasts.  There are hundreds if not thousands of people like you all trying to make a quick buck.

Here’s what your future looks like:

That initial feeling of joy that you got when you got paid for your first writing assignment – remember it- it won’t last.  You will find yourself sitting for hours on end, typing up an endless stream of keyword stuffed garbage on things like vacuum cleaners, and all you’ll be getting is a measly $1 per article.  Yes that is the sad reality of it.  Bidding websites are overflowing with people like you who are willing to create useless content just to get a couple of extra bucks per month.

If on the other hand, you actually answered “no” to the second set of questions then I congratulate you.  You are on your way to being a successful freelance writer.  You understand that relentless call to write that goes through your mind on a daily basis.  You understand how writing is a passion and how without it you’d go mad.  You understand that bidding for work is a waste of your time and that writing keyword stuffed articles is not going to bring you any joy.  You have a passion, a purpose in life and that purpose is to write and to write to the best of your abilities.

Now I say to you fellow freelance writer – go forth with pen and paper and let your heart speak the words it so longs for you to write.

Here’s to your next masterpiece.

Until next time,

Keep Writing.

I have been meaning to tell everyone about this course for a while now but I have been ill and away from my computer and just remembered it today.  I’m glad I did too because the special offer on this course is only available until the 23rd April.  This home study course is one that I was hoping to do but unfortunately at this time I can’t.  I am not affiliated with it at all and just wanted to pass on the information in case anyone is interested in completing it.

The course is by Chris Marlow who is an excellent coach.  I get her e-mail newsletter which are always packed with great content and I have no doubt that this course will be amazing too and very worth while for anyone who is looking to branch out and specialize in their writing career this year.  I won’t go on by giving you details of what the sales page says, instead why not check it out for yourself and if anyone has already signed up for this course be sure to let me know what it’s like. Here’s the link, http://marlowmarketingmethod.com/home_study_course.html

Until next time,

Keep writing.
