RE: My Top Essential Tips for Improving Literary Creativity
This is excellent, I especially love that you pointed out what we were discussing the other day about just enough detail to allow the readers imagination to fill things in for themselves :) I have a difficult time reading Anne Rice books for this reason in fact, she goes much too heavy on the detail, forcing the readers to see what she sees and also dragging out scenes because of it.
I think it was John Steinbeck who said that he tries to say as much as he can with as few words as possible.
Love the peek inside your process my darling friend!
Awesome @dreemit. I think we may possibly be kindred spirits, lol! I was over the moon when you made that observation about my narrative because I try to base most of what I write in the same vein. But then again, it's hardly surprising seeing the astonishingly brilliant level of quality your posts enjoy.
So, yeh, I thought I hardly ever write a "blog" in it's traditional sense so why not break the mould and give it a try. Of course, you were the catalyst. I actually have a few Anne Rice novels back logged on my Kindle for reading and will look out for that. But we can certainly relate to a few authors who like to bogged us down with way to much exposition. I feel fine-tuning that aspect is an art form in itself and well worth addressing.
So, I gotta say thank you for helping us open new creative avenues through your insightful comments and inspirational work. A true gem of a person in every sense of the word.
Steem on, amazing @dreemit! :)
Say as much as you can with a few words. I like that!
@ezzy what tool do you use to write your stories, books ?
As in tools, do you mean which methodologies I use? Because normally it's just me sitting in front of Microsoft Word with a bunch of notes scribbled out in front of me, lol...
Thats interesting and good enough and fun advice :) Thought there are special tools to make writing easier.
Oh, @mammasitta. My mind is the only tool I use (apart from my computer, lol). But I've read your articles and I'm sure you already know how good you are. You really know how to cook up a storm when it comes to blogging.
Blogging is very different than writing a book or even screenplay I will not publish on steemit. Too personal :) I was wondering what professional writers do to help themselves. For now I also use word or the submit tab for steemit stuff or even esteemapp via phone.
Anyways the dream, to finish a proper book with a completely different writing style, will take some time but on my mind and some on paper. I consider myself a storyteller so I might choose a ghostwriter to edit my thoughts at some point. Damn movie is in my head hahah !
Totally right. It's weird because my personal comfort zone is getting lost in a story-verse. We all have our areas we excel in and I must admit defeat when it comes to blogging per se. I guess it just comes down to preference. But I honestly urge you to complete a book if you can. It's quite an exhilarating achievement and I know you'll do well! Watch the mind movie and begin! :)
Exciting just dreaming about something like La Dolce Vita by Fellini and make it happen:) but for now I go for a walk at the Vienna Danube and enjoy the wonderful sunshine ☀️
