HOW TO WRITE

The Tools You Need to Help You Write Your Story

Photo by Markus Winkler on Unsplash

There’s a delicate balance between what a story is about and how it is told. If it’s a boring story, nothing will save it, including perfect grammar, syntax, and spelling. If it’s exciting but poorly composed, no one will read it.

Between these two extremes is probably where your storytelling ability lies. There aren’t many tools that will make you less boring, but many will help you with composition.

Of course, you don’t need tools, but they save time, which lets you either produce more or lead a happier life. Think of Noah and what he could have done with power tools. Would he have forgotten the unicorns if he’d had a cordless drill? Probably not.

I’ve been using Grammarly Pro for a few years and recently added ProWritingAid as well, and between the two, they pick most of my minor errors up. I also use Hemingway Editor from time to time, but my rough drafts (humble brag) do alright enough by Ernest to use him less and less. I sometimes use the text reading feature on Hemingway if I’m looking for a home-run, but that’s only occasionally.

CoSchedule helps me with my headlines by scoring them. I read anything over 73 is acceptable, and so that’s what I shoot for. It’s harder than you think. I then use TitleCaseConverter to render them into proper title case.

You might never stop being boring, but your copy should always be clean. With so many free tools out there, you don’t have an excuse for bad copy.

I won’t provide links because the attached article put together by Maryam Merchant has them all and more, and if anyone deserves the read here, it’s her, not me.
Style Mistakes That Copyeditors Really Don’t Want You to Call “Grammar Mistakes.”

Style Mistakes That Copyeditors Really Don’t Want You to Call “Grammar Mistakes.”

There’s a problem with this article about grammar mistakes to avoid: most of the pet peeves it catalogs are not grammar mistakes. “Between you and I” is a grammar mistake. Excess hyphenation, long hyperlinks, “unnecessarily capitalized words” — these are matters of style.

Creators Hub, says its editor, “may look to the AP Stylebook and Chicago Manual of Style for grammar and style rules,” but “we also have an internal style guide that the copy editors refer to when editing a story.”

Three styles? No. If you have an in-house style guide, that’s your style. Should the first word of a complete sentence following a colon be capitalized? AP style says yes; Chicago says no. If Creators Hub made its internal style guide publicly available, then Medium writers would know which of these answers is “correct.”

Ever wonder why people click away from your story mid-read?

I can’t speak for anyone but myself but here are the reasons I click away after having gone to all the effort of clicking on a story.

Please be patient during the holiday times.

Dear writers,

As the editorial team, we are overwhelmed and frustrated here.

Many of our colleagues are on leave for enjoying the festive season.

Besides, it is not possible to add new editors right now.

We tried but failed.

The system simply does not allow us.

As an owner, Dr Yildiz cannot add any editors.

As you may have seen by now, we requested further help. Many writers showed interest in joining our editorial team.

We look forward to meeting them and teaching them the publishing process.

In the meantime, the purpose of this short-form story is to inform you about our current situation.

There may be delays in publishing your stories. We will do our best.

Please know that you are our priority. We want to publish your stories as quickly as possible.

Some editors Desiree Driesenaar, Thewriteyard, The Maverick Files Sumera Rizwan, Tree Langdon, Dew Langrial and Liam Ireland volunteered to work extra hours to ensure our submission queue is cleared timely.

Dr Mehmet Yildiz explained the situation in a story earlier today.

Thank you for your understanding.

Keep writing and sharing.

We wish you happy holidays.

The Best Comedians Do Something You Don’t

What about writing then?

As writers, we should be acutely aware of how detailed our preparation should be. I know that almost every other article on here tells us to ‘edit edit edit’, but it’s true. I’m not suggesting for a minute that we should spend a year in preparation for every article. There would be a lot more starving and penniless writers if that was the case but we should take the time to perfect what we’re putting onto the page as far as possible.

The first draft of ideas that flows onto the blank page should be just that. I know that when I’ve written a first draft of an article, it is more important to get the word and ideas down onto the screen than for them to be spelt correctly. When I come to edit, what is on the page bears only a passing resemblance to English. Then we go back and remove excess words, refine the sentence structure, get a feel for the rhythm of the language. We know what sounds right and, like the comics, when we step out onto the stage that first time with a page of untried material then we should be prepared to get shot down.

We need to be our own worst hecklers. If a sentence doesn't work or the word order sounds wrong, give yourself hell over it. Call it out.

How boring a show would be if a comic stood and talked at the same rate and pace for the whole show. But they vary their speed, sentence length and intonation. Sometimes a joke is funnier if the emphasis is placed on a different word. Your sentences are the same. Change sentence lengths, change emphasis, be brutal with your work and see what works best for you.

It’s easy to spot a writer who is at ease with their style and one who is trying too hard. Read anything by Tim Denning and you’ll see a casual, friendly style almost as if he’s having a chat with you over a drink.

That’s no mistake. It has taken many years of trial and error to arrive at that level of skill.

All we can do is do our best to try and find a voice that suits us and the only way we can do that is by writing down our initial ideas like a comedian, taking those ideas and fashioning them into sentences and paragraphs that our readers will love.

EDIT YOUR LIFE!

Today we live in a world of social media. Everything is out there on social media platforms. Most of them edited!. We edit our pictures, we try to get the best status , edit it most of the times to make it look more cool. We are so open to editing stuffs out their, pictures, posts, videos, audios and many more. Then why not in real life?.

Edit the negative, so your real life is full of positive. Edit anything that is criticizing you and if that is affecting you. Edit that ,”person” from your life who always tend to put you down, even if in a laugh able manner. It is not about editing anything that criticize you, but if that is not a healthy criticism. And mostly if that is affecting your mental peace. It is very titillating when I change my phone wallpaper. It some how indicates that I wanted a change in life and maybe that wallpaper just doesn’t make me happy anymore. And just after changing or I may say after editing, it makes me feel better.

Those toxic relations and people in your life are exactly like my old wallpaper. You just need to edit it from your life in a way that they does not bother you and affect your mental peace. All I want to convey is, if something bothers you in a negative or not in a progressive way, just EDIT YOUR LIFE!

Our lead editor Dr Mehmet Yildiz shared a story about editorial support needs for our publications.

We are all volunteers to support our publications. We all know that publications don’t earn income on Medium. The owners of publications cover the expenses. As Dr Yildiz points out publications face substantial challenges.

If you want to contribute to our writers and readers by publishing stories you can show your interest as response to the attached post and directly approach Dr Yildiz on our Slack workspace.

Editors need to be be on Slack as we run our publishing duties via Slack workspace. Without using Slack workspace, it is difficult to deal with the number of submissions to our publications. Using the private message feature on Medium causes delays for publishing.

3 Tricks You Can Use to Up Your Editing Game

Photo created by drobotdean | Freepik

Part of becoming a better writer is becoming a better editor.

What makes the editing process exciting is that it’s always going to be different. But that’s also why it’s so darn hard — every story has its own challenges. Every story requires a different treatment. But as you go along, you’ll find your own strategies that lend a bit of cadence to the process and help you revise drafts more easily.

I’ll be sharing three simple tricks that have made editing less daunting for me and helped bring out the ideas in my stories. I hope they make your life easier, too, and maybe even excite you the next time you edit your piece.

An Englishman Reads My Stories Out Loud for Free

Photo by Dollar Gill on Unsplash

Reading a story out loud is one of the best ways to catch errors or inconsistencies before you publish your piece. But it’s so boring. I almost never do it.

Have you ever wanted to hear it read out loud by someone else? Do you want it to be read in a British English accent?

Funny enough I looked for something like that and found it! It’s free and the quality is as high as a robot can reach. You simply need to copy-paste your draft, choose the voice and the speed, lean back in your chair and pretend you’re listening to an audiobook.

English (UK) Peter with 0 speed is the best choice if you ask me.

Where’s the catch?

You can only listen to 20 minutes a day for free. Also, you can’t download it as mp3 without getting a paid plan. But hey! I don’t really need it. Who writes a 20 minute read?

If you struggle to read your stories out loud, use this tool. It made my editing process much more enjoyable. Now I can publish stories with fewer mistakes, better structure and an idea of how it would sound if someone else read them.

Apps that Every YouTubers must have
Tags: Editing, Youtube Creators, Best Youtube App, YouTuber, Apps For Youtubers

This list of Apps that YouTubers must have and Important Apps for Youtubers in the process of making their videos. Nowadays, most of the videos are uploaded from mobile and you must have apps to make your life easier. There are 4 phase in creating a youtube video. They are Planning, Recording, Editing and uploading. I’ll suggest 2 best in class apps for each phase , which facilitate you to be professional youtuber.

Planning makes your action meaningful, not only for youtube but for every action or process you do , you must plan well. There are many apps which do this but I prefer Google keep and Evernote both are best in class. Both apps help you to store your ideas in different formats. Keep your reminders for uploading your videos and you can track your consistency.

Recording:

Nowadays android mobile phones have decent in-built camera but the camera app is not that good to capture the video and audio. The biggest problem is you cannot lock the exposure whenever you move from one place to another the exposure automatically changes. In one frame you will be looking good and another frame you will look dark.

You need manual controls to lock the exposure so there are two apps which really good. Open Camera, filmic pro both apps you can do manual control such as lock focus set exposure white balance and set frame rates both apps will record audio from the external mic.

Every youtuber know how hard editing is and how time consuming it is. T o make your job easy you need state of art apps to edit your videos. You have Kinemaster and InSHOT. In both apps can add and combine layers of video special effects text layers and even handwriting and the best part is you have colour adjustment tools to adjust your colour in your video or the images both have free version and paid version watermark is the part of parcel

It is important to make your thumbnails as engaging as possible Because YouTube is primarily a visual platform where people watch videos, viewers will look at thumbnails before they read the title of your video.A great custom video thumbnail can make all the difference when it comes to a viewer clicking through to your video or deciding whether or not to watch another. Canva and Thumbnail maker both have excellent features and both are free.

By using the above said apps you can make your videos more interesting and professional
How to Edit Footer in WordPress
By: Danish Jainuddin Desai
Tags: Editing, Blogger, Blog, WordPress, Footer

If you want to learn how to edit footer in WordPress, you are in the right place. This article is designed to give you all the information you need to start editing your footer widgets in WordPress. First of all, what is a footer widget area? A footer widget area is a hidden area at the bottom of your page which contains one or more footer links such as the “logout” button, contact us button, the “about us” page link, etc. It’s a simple but useful feature which helps visitors to understand that the site they are viewing has footer links.

So how do we edit footers in WordPress? There are several different ways you can go about editing your footers, so I will list the most popular ones in this article. One way to edit them is by using “What Are Footer Tags?” This is a quick way to get a list of all the available footers in your theme and what their name is. Then, just open the settings of your theme (usually at wp-admin/posts/show); you will see a section labeled “earance” which says “Footer”. You can select any of the options there and change the style or format of your footer.

Another method of editing your footers is by using “Using Insert Headers in WordPress”. This is very similar to using “What Are Footer Tags?” The only difference is that now, instead of a list of footers, you will have an HTML list of your footer widgets. To edit your footer widgets, just select” Widgets” from the” Insert heading” dropdown in the main” Appearance” screen of your WordPress theme editor.

Finally, you can add widgets to your sidebar using “Widgets Shortcuts”. To find these shortcuts, click on “Appearance” from the main menu at the top of the page. In the left panel, click on “Widgets” and from there, choose “Add”. A list of possible widgets will appear. Click on the one you want to add; it will open a new dialog box for you. Here you have two ways to access your footer widgets; by using “What Are Footer Tags?” or by using “using insert headers”.

Editing your footer in WordPress with the use of “what are footer tags?” and “using insert headers” can be a little more complicated because sometimes the code will not quite line up with your theme editor. If this happens to you, then you may need to use the “head-replace” plugin to make sure that your code gets placed where you want it to. You can also search Google for alternate methods of adding what are footer tags and insert headers.

The final way to edit your footers in WordPress is with the use of a child theme editor. This is particularly helpful when you need to change the color of your footers because they tend to get garish if you don’t do something about them. A child theme editor will allow you to add what are footer widgets using the usual widgets system and you can also add other things like font styles and different kinds of links. Using a child theme editor is especially useful if you have complex themes that require you to make various changes. Some even allow you to download all of the files that you need so that you won’t have to create them yourself.

What to Do When an Editor Rewrites Your Whole Article and Publishes It In Your Name
By: Sabana Grande
Tags: Writing, Editing, Fiction, Satire, Humor

Dear Editors,

May God bestoweth upon thee many money-s and happiness-es.

Except for those of you that changed the whole piece before hitting, ‘Publish’. May God bestoweth upon thee many loose bits of Legos around your house and a pebble in your shoe that you just can’t seem to get rid of.

May your Starbucks’ baristas accidentally always give you decaff.

May your boyfriends & girlfriends say to you, “you are the best in bed out of all your brothers/ sisters.”

May you be the one car that didn’t get to cross before the traffic light turned red.

May you fart at inconvenient meetings. May they know it was you.

May you remember that you had a membership/ subscription for something just after it runs out. May the same thing happen with all your vouchers and coupons.

May you say, “You too,” as a reply to, “Enjoy your stay,” while checking in with a receptionist at a hotel. May that same hotel locate you in a room with noises of traffic and people screaming.

May your cat begin to be fed by your neighbors leading to you discovering that it’s now their cat and they love her more and that it confessed to them that you were abusing it with crappy catfood — not Whiskas.

May your cat/dog only decide to play with you while you’re sleeping.

May your toddler decide to change its own nappies and write with them on the bathroom wall.

May somebody eat your yogurts at work.

May the toilet seat always be wet when you sit on it.

May you just about not be able to reach the remote control without getting out of bed. May you then find out it has no batteries. May you then find out you have no batteries in the whole house.

May you then buy batteries and find out you actually had batteries all along. Also, your TV’s broken.

It was a bust…
By: H.T. Alexander
Tags: Sex Work, Writing, Diet, Editing, Fitness

That first snowstorm of the season was basically a bust, we got maybe 2 inches of snow and a lot of sleet and ice. It was a big disappointment as far as snowstorms go.

On a completely other topic, I have started looking outside of my normal work environment (fed gov’t contracting) for jobs. The primary reason for this is that after 20 years of working in this arena and trying to land a gov’t job itself, I am done and have decided it is time to move on. This is more so because in the last 9 months I have had three opportunities for my job to be converted to gov’t and each time the rug basically got pulled out from under me for really no reason, each time was a done deal, no action required not even an interview involved just a conversion, and didn’t happen. So I am taking my skills elsewhere if some other industry wants me. That however is the hard part, but I am looking anyway.

In the meantime there is home that my side hustle ideas could pay off as well and maybe eventually I can walk away and focus on those, that would be a great thing, not sure if that can happen but it is something to work towards. It will probably still wind up the writing/editing stuff will allow me to earn the most money, but Online Personal Training should be a close second for sure. As far as creating art, I do not expect that to make an enormous amount of money that is more going to be for fun, but if I score some earnings from it all the better.

The biggest thing I need to do is put more money in our bank accounts. With the primary goal of paying off all our debt and then some as quickly as possible so that we aren’t living paycheck to paycheck which though we make a pretty good living we are still doing. When you need extra money bad enough to start looking at doing sex work on the side to get that money I wouldn’t call it desperate but it seems like it might be easier to make extra money that way than any other, though you don’t ever see much in regards to men doing sex work, so I wouldn’t have the slightest of ideas how to make that work if I was to actually do it.

This week just finished up the last week of another 10 week stint on my EMOM program, and I will take a week off just doing HIIT Cardio before starting up with this same 10-week program again, as I like it, and the workouts are short and straight to the point. I am still getting up at 4AM to get those workouts in and though I am not a fan of early morning hours; it gets me to an early start time for work allowing me to drop off early with working at home. I also am still doing my afternoon cardio for half an hour 4 days per week and I will continue that as long as I am working from home.

Well, this is all for now, maybe some more later.
Great tips.thanks for sharing

Co-Write With Yourself

Image by Janno Nivergall from Pixabay

People ask me how we co-write TV episodes in Turkey.

Writing as a team has some obvious difficulties. But when it is a good fit, the synergy is amazing. You don’t just add the creativity; you multiply it.

We were four writers in my writing team. We didn’t have a hierarchy, which could be a blessing and a curse. Sometimes our meetings dragged on and on, and it would take ages to agree on a storyline. But we wanted each writer to feel right about the scenes. Otherwise, it would be challenging to write them later.

At the story meeting, we would develop each storyline and list the scenes of the episode. Then each person would take a section to expand to a full treatment, which is like a screenplay without dialogue.

Once finished, we would split the treatment to write the dialogue. We would allocate the scenes to different people, not the original writer who wrote the treatment.

Sitting down to write the actual screenplay would always be an exciting moment. Even though I would know the overall story, each scene’s details would be new to me. The scenes written by my friends would be full of brilliant ideas. However, we couldn’t just add dialogue and be done with it. We were supposed to dig deeper, add our perspectives, and bring the scenes alive.

When all the scenes were written, combined and shared, I would read the entire thing for the first time. I would always be fascinated to see how my scenes would turn out unrecognizable. They would still hold my creative ideas underneath, but the action and the dialogue would be unexpected, surprising, and delicious.

Naturally, it would be full of inconsistencies and redundancies. We would have to read it, take notes, fix, cut, add, read aloud, rewrite, polish, and polish some more until the draft reached a professional level. However, the interesting dialogue, clever jokes, profound moments, a rollercoaster of emotions, all the colors of creativity would be there.

I remember the pilot episode of one of our shows. There was a marriage proposal scene that brought tears to my eyes. I had penned it as a treatment. When I read the screenplay, I felt so glad that someone else had written it. Because I had already created my best vision of it. If I had to write the dialogue, I would have stayed within the limits. Yet, when my friend worked on my scene with fresh eyes, she brought a valuable new perspective to the scene. She built on top of it and made it amazing.

And the scene became famous. People shared gifs on social media, and we received lots of praise for it.

I’m a university student who had been in your shoes before. I had already got my topic and approved by my supervisor but in the middle, I had some challenges as regards my chapter one, two, three and also on perfect data analysis to be used.

While looking for academic assistant as regards the challenges, I was directed to one person who appeared to know the job very well but at the end of the day he fucked up even after the person and I had a lot conversation.

That is why it’s important to meet someone who has extensive and expansive knowledge in academics assistance for your project or thesis. For months, I was unable to solve those challenges in question until I met this academic assistant. so, look for him and he will give the best.

In Project or thesis, chapter one means a lot. it gives the details of background of your study or topic. Chapter two gives details about the existing works as regards your topic and it must answer your objectives. Chapter three talks about the methodology to be used and how it will be achieved. Chapter three pave way to kind of data analysis that will be involved. To be candid, I have challenges as regards all these things until I met this academics assistant.

Thesis or project always has issue of plagiarism most especially for master and PhD. Proofreading, editing and references are all also part of issues need to look into in thesis or project. In all honest, I was able to get over all these when I met this academics assistant. when it comes any area in academics assistance, this person is an expert.

2 Minute Madness’ Rejection Rate Is Increasing

It was bound to happen. As 2 Minute Madness grows, more writers want to submit. To stay within its mission statement, rejecting more stories is a must. This is a good thing for both readers and writers.

When Tony first brought me on, he was clear about his goals. One of them was to help guide writers on fulfilling the publication’s guidelines. I was thrilled; the best thing an editor can do for a writer is to explain why — albeit briefly — a story didn’t make the cut.

The increase in rejections shouldn’t come as a surprise. We’ve been writing about this for the past several weeks. At the end of November, I wrote about how writers can get things right in the first round. These tips aren’t just for 2 Minute Madness. In general, editors don’t want to spend their time fixing mistakes identified by Grammarly’s free version.

Analyzing the past two weeks of submissions, I can say the most common reasons for rejection have been:

Correctness issues — lots of them, accounting for more than half of all stories denied. In most cases, we encourage writers to resubmit after prettying things up.

— lots of them, accounting for more than half of all stories denied. In most cases, we encourage writers to resubmit after prettying things up. Lack of proof — nearly a third of submissions mask opinions as fact. Be careful about this. When in doubt, find a source to back up what you are saying.

— nearly a third of submissions mask opinions as fact. Be careful about this. When in doubt, find a source to back up what you are saying. Not citing sources — we realize most writers aren’t trying to take credit for someone else’s work. Still, the lack of citation does little for readers and makes writers look bad. About one-fourth of submissions were flagged for not giving sources proper credit. This is why I encourage everyone to check their work for possible plagiarism — so they can catch such dangerous mistakes.

On the bright side, three-quarters of those receiving first-round rejections are doing the work and resubmitting. Woohoo! Sometimes the story still isn’t ready, but we applaud those who heed advice to try. Rejection can be scary, but it’s part of the writing journey. And we all need it in order to grow.

We know it wouldn’t be challenging to find a more-forgiving publisher; some outlets even let writers slide on spelling mistakes. Yet, writers should want to know what’s wrong so they can ensure they submit more solid work in the future.

We don’t see the rejection rate dropping any time soon, but that doesn’t mean each writer’s chance of acceptance is worse than before. Each day the submissions pile grows, which means more hidden gems we’ll find in there.

Happy writing!
7 Grammar Tips For Authors [Infographic]

I bet every single author, from the hobbyist sketching stories in a notebook to world-famous writers, has some kind of grammatical tick. For me, it’s their/there. I know the difference. But I’ll still use the wrong form. Let’s be honest; the English language is a grammar nightmare.

Of course, there’s no shortage of tips and advice to help you get your grammar right. From guides that go into extensive detail to simple reminders that focus on the most common mistakes.

Why, you might wonder, would you need another list of grammar tips? It’s simple; grammar is messy and the more reinforcing and contextualizing the better! Plus, many grammar guides are academic, looking at strict definitions.

Authors deserve an author focused guide to grammar, don’t they?

Being Grammar Conscious

I’m a big advocate for tools like Grammarly or ProWritingAid. These embedded tools check grammar, spelling, and even sentence structure (they gate the best features behind a paywall). Using AI-based software to correct the obvious mistakes is just efficient. All writers should make use of these tools.

But there is some danger in being reliant on software for grammar. Not to mention those situations where you’ve crafted a complex or uncommon sentence and the grammar-robots get confused. You need to know the basics and understand the principles behind grammar rules.

The goal is to have a clean, error-free manuscript to publish. That takes a combination of machine-review, your own knowledge, and the help of a skilled editor.

7 Grammar Tips For Authors

Alright, here is our updated list of the 7 grammar tips I think are most important for authors. This is, of course, not an exhaustive list. But these tips will help you tighten up your first (and second) draft.

Particularly if you’re self-editing the first few drafts, being conscious about grammar will save your final copy editor time and work. Which may well save you money!
Easy Ways To Write And Promote Your Writing

If you are a writer online these days, you may be thinking about how you can be more successful and make more money. This is something that is really important to quite a lot of people.

Can you even make money as a writer? Yes, of course you can, but it takes a lot of work and even more commitment. Many writers come and go because they do not understand what is really necessary to be successful.

What are some simple and easy things that you can do to be a writer on Medium or elsewhere? I have some tips that you might find helpful

Stay committed to your craft. Writing is not easy and you have to really believe in yourself and your future as a writer. Be willing to learn new ways to express yourself.

Believe in yourself. A lot of writers online don’t think they have what it takes. Understanding that your unique voice matters is one of the biggest steps you can take as a writer. There are hundreds of great stories that can be told based on your life experiences. Use those moments in time to reach and teach others so that don’t do the same things that you did.

Keep writing. It is easy to get distracted by life and everything else that is going on in your life. A big part of writing is writing something, regardless if it is great or not. Keep up the habit of writing.

Build your network. You will likely see a lot of talk online about the importance of a group of followers. It cannot be overstated that you should want and need a solid group of connections. This group should support and encourage each other as much as possible.

Use other apps and websites to promote your work. Twitter is an easy, free and simple way to expand your audience. Make sure to use it on a regular basis and build up your network.

Consider a website. There are plenty of free or low-cost services that can help you build a website. Once you have that, you can include links to your writing and share it wih your friends and family members.

These are just some ideas I have to help you on your journey to being a successful writer. But remember, successv as a writer is much more than just how much money you make. That aspect should not define you.

When I think about being a writer, I think about all of the wonderful writers that I interact with on a regular basis. I think of reading their work and supporting them on their journey. I think of encouraging them and hoping they feel that they are appreciated.

There are many writers in the world, but you are the only one with your unique voice. Remember to channel your personal experiences and write from the heart. You will discover that when you write about your life lessons, that the writing comes quick and easy. Your work may be personal and introspective and people notice that and appreciate it.

You can be a writer. If you are having doubts, try to dispel them by getting busy and writing something. Soon enough you will be writing on a regular basis and encouraging others to do the same.
