Rodrick Gorden's blog ::A Little (More) Virtual Music










I               recently               joined               a               loose               consortium,               a               free-form               group               of               freelance               writers               here               in               southern               Arizona.

I               actually               met               the               head               of               our               lunatic               fringe               online               in               another               venue,               without               realizing               at               the               time               that               she,               too,               had               been               terminally               infected               by               the               writing               bug.

Our               mutual               illness               was               discussed               before               we               met               for               the               first               time               in               person,               however.

She               brought               a               third               aspiring               writer               into               the               picture.

I               called               her               bid               by               putting               my               spouse               on               the               table               as               a               potential               writing               inductee.

Ultimately               that               morphed               into               an               agreement               for               all               of               us               to               meet               in               the               same               place,               at               the               same               time.

The               way               we               saw               it,               there's               just               something               special               about               group               delusions               in               the               morning,               and               that               special               lunacy               inherent               to               writers               and               writer-wannabes               is               a               doubly               potent               variety               thereof.
               While               we               sat               discussing               the               various               symptoms               of               writing               sickness               (such               as               writing               for               next               to               nothing               and               being               happy               just               to               see               our               name               in               print,)               we               discovered               that               our               discussion               of               the               authors'               bug               was               attracting               groupies.

As               we               talked               and               imbibed               our               preferred               caffeinated               beverages,               the               four               of               us               crunched               around               a               table               with               space               for               two,               every               other               head               in               the               place               turned               so               they               could               eavesdrop.
               Maybe               our               shared               paranoia               should've               kicked               in.

Of               course,               we               writers               are               among               the               select               few               who,               if               the               voices               in               our               heads               speak,               we               dutifully               record               the               conversations               on               paper               (virtual               or               print)               and               call               it               a               creative               process.

Except               in               this               case,               the               other               voices               were               hushed               so               they               could               listen               to               us.

I               suppose               it               could               be               called               a               "novel               experience,"               except               we               were               all               about               non-fiction.

(Bad               pun               fully               intended.)
               Of               the               four               musketeers               at               our               table               last               month,               only               two               of               us               were               published               writers.

I               have               reason               to               believe               that               number               still               holds.

A               third               expressed               aspirations               to               a               different               genre               than               print               or               online               media.

Specifically,               Member               No.

3               wants               to               write               broadcast               documentaries.

We               didn't               hold               that               against               him.

Everybody               is               entitled               to               their               peccadilloes,               after               all.
               The               fourth               member               of               our               motley               writing               coalition               was               my               Better               Half,               who               has               a               fabulous               command               of               the               English               language.

From               his               writing,               you'd               never               guess               that               English               isn't               his               native               tongue.

He               also               has               aspirations               to               take               his               writing               to               a               professional               level.

We               corresponded               online               for               several               months               before               meeting               in               person,               so               I               can               attest               to               his               vocabulary               and               his               ability               to               arrange               those               words               into               coherent               form.

Unfortunately,               he               is               seriously               lacking               in               the               department               of               confidence,               which               is               not               conducive               to               survival               of               the               rejection               attacks.
               It's               hard               to               say               whether               having               a               cheerleader               at               home               has               help               or               hurt               that               aspect               of               his               psyche,               but               I'm               determined               to               encourage               him               as               he               follows               his               dream,               just               as               he's               doing               for               me.
               Group               Therapy               for               New,               Aspiring               and               Experienced               Writers
               Wherever               your               writing               career               now               stands,               it               really               is               a               smart               move               to               meet               with               other               writers.

Chances               are               there               is               someone               in               your               part               of               the               world               who's               published               already,               or               has               at               least               has               a               running               start               on               the               process.

The               interactions               within               a               writing               group               help               everyone.

Novices               learn               the               nitty-gritty               of               the               business.

Published               members               gain               confidence               and               the               advantages               of               networking.

While               for               obvious               reasons               you               should               be               careful               about               broaching               specific               writing               subject               matter               in               public               and/or               to               fellow               authors,               the               all-around               camaraderie               and               support               is               priceless.
               If               you               don't               understand               why               it's               not               always               good               to               share               your               subject               matter               with               a               group,               consider               this:               when               you               discuss               your               story               before               you've               written               it,               someone               else               can               and               may               take               your               idea               and               beat               you               to               the               punch               line.

That               may               not               always               be               the               case,               naturally.

Occasionally               you               may               want               to               share               some               generalities,               just               to               figure               out               if               you're               pursuing               an               unproductive               tangent.

Other               times               you               may               want               to               solicit               collaboration               from               within               your               group.
               If               nothing               else,               being               a               part               of               a               writer's               group               helps               to               commiserate               with               like-minded               individuals.

Meeting               face-to-face               at               least               once               a               month               is               best,               preferably               with               a               group               that               focuses               on               your               writing               style.

For               example,               my               group               is               kind               of               uncommon               in               it's               non-fiction               roots.

(Most               groups               are               all               about               novels               or               poetry.)               If               you               can't               meet               in               person,               an               online               support               group               is               still               a               fabulous               resource.
               Virtual               coffee               doesn't               taste               the               same               as               the               real               kind,               though.
               Here's               How               You               Do               It
               During               our               first               session,               our               writing               group               discussed               the               advantages               and               pitfalls               of               writing               on               travel               issues.

It               was               by               no               means               our               only               topic,               but               it               certainly               was               a               central               theme.
               When               you               tell               the               owners               of               a               place               that               you're               writing               an               article               about               them,               they               may               comp               your               meal               and/or               your               room.

In               other               words,               you               get               the               meal               and               room               for               free,               in               their               hopes               that               you'll               give               their               establishment               a               good               word.
               Just               don't               walk               in               with               that               expectation.

Unfortunately               some               would-be               writers               and               some               outright               scammers               have               gone               in,               collected               freebies,               then               never               delivered               the               article               or               book               they               promised.

As               a               result,               more               than               a               few               business               owners               are               understandably               skittish               when               it               comes               to               self-professed               writers               unless               you               can               produce               proof               of               your               work               in               progress.

Others               may               be               struggling               for               survival               and               simply               unable               to               afford               to               give               you               anything               on               the               house.

That               should               never               be               a               factor               in               what               you               write               about               them.

After               all,               you're               writing               an               unbiased               article,               right?
               There               are               pluses               and               minuses               to               self-disclosure               when               you're               collecting               information               for               an               article               or               book.

If               you               tell               someone               you're               writing,               and               can               back               it               up               with               documentation,               it               may               open               a               floodgate.

Sometimes               that               means               uncovering               obscure               but               crucial               information               that               can               really               drive               your               work               to               a               new               level.

Other               times,               it               locks               you               in               a               room               with               your               worst               nightmare,               a               monotone               voice               with               no               valuable               information,               someone               who               just               won't               shut               up.
               Either               way,               my               fellow               aspiring               lunatic,               documenting               your               project               will               mean               getting               a               commitment               from               a               publisher               before               you               start               writing               or               collecting               your               data.

If               you               have               something               in               writing,               you're               probably               going               to               have               a               better               reception               when               you're               talking               to               business               owners.
               The               downside               of               writing               about               travel,               disclosure               or               not,               is               that               it               costs               you               money               to               get               there               and               back.

Even               if               your               room               and               meal               on-site               are               free,               the               costs               of               the               trip               itself               can               add               up.

Some               publications               might               reimburse               you               for               costs,               but               it's               more               likely               those               will               come               straight               out               of               your               pocket.

Furthermore,               travel               eats               up               one               important               commodity               that               seems               to               be               in               short               supply               for               everyone:               time.
               Proposals               and               Commitments               For               Writing
               Some               authors               write               first               and               then               pitch               the               finished               project.

That's               essentially               the               process               on               Associated               Content.

AC               producers               write,               submit,               and               wait               for               an               offer.
               My               newfound               friend,               mentor               and               fellow               freelance               writer               issues               a               proposal               and               gets               a               commitment               before               she               even               begins               working               on               an               article.

That               way               she               knows               up               front               exactly               what's               expected               on               both               sides,               including               payment.

She               said               while               she               isn't               making               a               fortune,               at               least               the               proposal-first               approach               lets               her               manage               her               work               and               her               time.

Her               approach               is               definitely               not               for               everyone,               and               especially               not               for               every               new               writer.
               Whether               you're               writing               a               proposal               or               jumping               directly               to               write               your               article,               go               in               with               your               eyes               open               and               your               focus               on               your               particular               market.

If               you               want               to               write               a               story               on               travel,               you               should               be               looking               at               an               AAA               or               some               other               travel               magazine.

If               you're               writing               on               how               to               build               a               tool               shed,               you'll               want               to               shop               your               story               out               to               home-improvement               or               woodworking               publications.

If               you               write               a               story               on               cocker               spaniels               and               shop               it               out               to               a               magazine               devoted               to               learning               how               to               sew,               it               stands               to               reason               it               won't               get               published.
