Authors, Novelists, Poets & Creative Writers ~ We're back for more Short Story Tip Time!

If you are a Writer or an Aspiring Author, (and you are if you are reading this Short Story Tip Time Session), then you no doubt always have writing on your mind.  It is the fuel for your fire.  The yin to your yang.  It is something that motivates you whenever you put your hand to it.

We've been discussing Writing Tips to keep you in the flow of your creative short story writing endeavors.  In our last Session, links were given as a reference for those Writers following along who are interested in free Writing Apps that can be utilized on your cell phone and android devices.  Tablets are perfect for writing on the go, and so is your cell phone if you have the right Writing App downloaded on it.

In addition, for those Writers who were interested in having an online Journal or Diary experience, there were links provided for Sites you can try out for free.  Writing in your Journal online or on paper helps a great deal when you really have a writing flow going and you don't want to lose your ideas as they are flowing.

The free online Diary Site that was suggested in our last Session here on the Blog was listed for those Writers who are not only interested in writing a short story, but also perhaps writing a Memoir!

A Memoir is a record of events written by a person having intimate knowledge of those events, and is based on personal observation.  Usually, memoirs are an account of one's personal life and experiences (also known as an Autobiography).  An Autobiography is the published record of the history of a person's life written or told by that person.  An Autobiography can also be the proceedings of a group or an organization (a learned society).

For those Writers that use their computers and laptops to write poetry or short stories, mentioned in our last Session was the link for information on ten (10) free Writing Apps and tools.  If you were able to check out any of the links or download any of the Writing Apps, please feel free to add your comments here on the Blog about what you thought of any of those Sites listed on the Blog, and the suggested Writing Apps.

You can scroll down to view our last Short Story Tip Time Session (7th Installment), or click on any of the links in the far right hand column to view any of the previous Blog Sessions you are interested in.

Writing on your smartphone or tablet, especially if you may be writing a long article, is not the most convenient, but it can be turned into a pleasurable experience if you have the right software.  Using a minimalist writing app makes things a lot more pleasant.  In our last Session here on the Blog, there was a link given out to all Readers here to check out for information on five of the best Apps for writing on your Android smartphone or tablet.  I personally have not tried out any of the five Apps listed, so I'd definitely be interested in hearing feedback from any Readers here who have used any of those Apps.

I have used the online Journals and Diaries that were listed in our last Short Story Tip Time Session, and I love using them.  The best thing about online Journals and Diaries is that you can use them on your Smartphone, Tablet, Laptop or Computer Desktop.

If you happen to have any suggestions about Writing Apps or tips, you are welcome to share your short reviews or suggestions here on the Blog in the comments section.

Writing your short story is perfect for your own personal therapeutic practices.  You can learn much about your self by writing a short story about your life.  You'll be amazed at the story that comes out of you!

Here's a suggestion for you ~ Try your hand at writing in a Diary on a regular basis, either online or in a nice Diary with a key.  This practice helps you to write fearlessly and honestly.

Diary Writer

Those Writers who write daily Diary entries will find out that writing tips come forth through heart-felt Diary entries.  Writing about how your day went, who you met, what you did, or what your feelings are on any given day can shed light on a thought that can turn into a poem, a short story, or even a Novel.

In our next Short Story Tip Time Session, we will be talking about something that will interest all Writers. 

9th Installment coming right up!

 Peace, Love & Light,
