Galvanize Your Creative Writing with Whole-Brained Thinking

One morning in early August 2010 I awoke to irrefutable verification that I had entered the first day of my 80th year on this planet.

Despite the relentless march of time I am still writing, painting watercolors, creating and running online businesses.

But above all, writing.

As a right brain dominant person I recall that my far off schooldays were absolute torture; endless boredom and the way classes were taught created frustration as I tried in vain to learn through instruction that was left brain oriented.

The only subjects I excelled in were English and Art (both right brain fodder) and they have been providing me with a living ever since.

If like me you are right-brained by nature but trapped in your left brain by a society that insists you stay there to cope with everyday pressures, then think again.

You could do as I did several decades ago and train yourself to become whole-brained…

How does that work?

In the middle of the left/right-brain continuum lie the whole-brained who can access the strengths of both the left- and right-brained populations.

You can think of whole-brained thinking any number of ways:

• You are riding the line between creative and analytical: between the pop psychology definitions of right-brained and left-brained.

• You are successfully integrating your brain's subcomponents into one powerful processor.

• You are tapping into your inner beauty, your complexity, your life fractal; you're riding the line between chaos and stagnation and loving every moment of it.

Time was already at a premium when I first started writing in earnest sixteen years ago but my freshly acquired skill of whole-brained thinking enabled me to crank out 37 books; all of which were traditionally published and all of which are best sellers in their respective niche.

My 38th title (ISBN 9781845284206) was published in June 2010 and has already entered the best seller lists.

No matter what age you are (or perceive yourself to be) whole-brained thinking will empower you to galvanize your creative writing but do so in such a manner that your work will have a better than evens chance of being published, attaining best seller status, and in the process opening the door to a myriad of residual and incremental earning opportunities.

Using Social Networking to Sell Creative Writing

Can you really do this; use social marketing to sell your creative writing output?

I don’t know for sure yet but I will have an answer in the coming months.

You see, I am about to embark on an exercise using social networking exclusively to supplement the publisher’s launch of the 5th edition of my first bestselling book.

“Starting Your Own Business” (ISBN 9781845283124) first hit the bookshelves way back in 1994. It has had four editions to date and countless reprints. On the age-old concept of, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, the content has remained unchanged over the intervening years save for updating in the shape of additional topical inclusions.

Here is the gist of my plan of implementation to boost sales through social networking:

SOCIAL MARKETING

I will use these core channels deploying events and promotions by way of articles and videos where appropriate.

Facebook
MySpace
Squidoo
Hub Pages
YouTube
Bebo
Daily Motion
Hi5
Gather

Yahoo 360

SOCIAL BOOKMARKING

My social marketing activity will be bounced onto these equally core bookmarking channels.

Propeller
Slashdot
Digg
Technorati
Delicious
StumbleUpon
Twitter
Reddit
Fark
Newsvine
Furl
Swik
Connotea
Sphinn
Blinklist
Faves
Mister-Wong
Spurl
Diigo

This engagement with social networking might be paralleled to acquiring permission to advertise on the BBC - but here’s a better analogy; a strategic social networking campaign in full throttle resembles a motorised fountain whose powerful engine emits jets of cascading water spiralling in every direction.

The comparison ends there though.

The effect of the physical fountain is imprecise and scattergun in delivery; the effect of virtual social networking is precise and objective as its outpouring streams hit multiple pre-determined targets plumb centre; targets from which it enthusiastically bounces onto associated website(s).

How will I know if my engagement with social networking bears fruit?

Here’s how. Because the book has already been through four editions I know what to expect by way of initial uptake from the publisher’s own launch promotion. Anything extra on this occasion will be down to social networking.

I’ll let you know how I go in a subsequent post…

Why I Packed My Lifetime Knowledge Into A Single File

Well, not quite my lifetime knowledge, but certainly all of my expertise relating to creative writing, achieving publication, and aspiring to bestseller status in every literary work I set out to create.

So why have I done this: pack all my knowledge into a single file?

It was prompted by something in the response I received after giving away my proven formula for getting published; a gift to mark my 75th birthday; a gift that was downloaded hundreds of times in just a few weeks.

Most of the emails were from recipients expressing their gratitude but the remainder disturbed me; they were from writers claiming that no matter how hard they tried, they just could not get their work published.

Now that’s sad, very sad, but undeniably true…

Most writers spend a lifetime trying to get into traditionally published hard copy print but all they end up with is mounting frustration and a pile of rejection slips a mile high.

It’s doubly sad because it needn’t be so; there is a way, a tried and tested way to turn consistent failure on its head and convert it into sustained success; a way in the shape of a series of simple, proven, time-tested strategies that successful writers down the ages have always used to inject their work with the quantifiable bestselling potential that ensures publication in traditional hard copy print.

When I first started writing in earnest I did not know about these age-old, time tested strategies but I was lucky, very lucky, inasmuch as my first piece of creative writing became my first published work and a bestseller.

First published in 1995 “Starting Your Own Business” is still around today, still selling in big numbers in bookstores world wide, and still featuring in the major online bestselling lists.

Now, with a clutch of bestsellers in my portfolio, not only do I know about these timeless strategies, not only do I consciously use them use them in all my writings, but now at last I have managed to package them all together in one single file.

I have done this to put something valuable back into a profession that’s been good to me and to assist aspiring authors following in my footsteps to realize their ambition to become published.
