What does being a Writer mean to you?
BLOG SESSION
April 22nd, 2018
Welcome back Writers! Today's Blog Session is just for you specifically.
Grab your Journal, because what we will talk about today will be something that you will need for the writing that you will be doing in the years ahead ~ mainly because that is who you are -- a Writer.
Journal Notes
As you take a moment to think about what it is that you truly want to write about, you will no doubt come up with a subject matter that is close to your heart. Whatever that subject matter is, please take a moment to write it down in your Journal. You may have several areas of interest that are close to your heart -- if so, please write all of those areas down in your Journal.
The subject matters that you cherish connect with certain genres. If you already know what those genres are, also write them down in your Journal. If you are unsure about the genres that tie into your area of writing interest, take the time to do your research on Literary Genres. Here is a good place for you to start when it comes to research on Genres...
LITERARY GENRES LINK:
You'll find many other places online where you can learn more about all of the Literary Genres. Don't forget to list the links in your Journal that you use to do your research. You'll do doubt refer back to those links from time to time.
Doing your Research
Doing your research will help you to answer the question that this Session is about: What does being a Writer mean to you?
Being a Writer branches off into many different areas. You may be interested in writing Novels. There are a host of genres that cover Novels. Be sure to research the genre(s) that you are interested in.
You may be interested in becoming a Script Writer. If so, Script Writing is an area that calls for specific research on the proper format to use for writing Scripts.
Another area that many writers are interested in is Memoirs. You could be a Writer who has had a dream to write a Memoir. A Memoir is a historical account or Biography written from personal knowledge or special sources.
If a Memoir is an area in which you are interested in, please take time to read some of the Best Selling Memoirs such as:
1) The Diary of Anne Frank (The Diary of a Young Girl)
2) Barbara Bush: A Memoir
3) A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership by James Comey
Biographies and Autobiographies
The key way in which Biographies and Autobiographies differ is in their Author. A Biography is written about a person by someone else, while an Autobiography is written about a person by that person.
It should be noted in your Journal that both Biographies and Autobiographies provide essential information about their subject.
Documentary
You may be interested in writing a Documentary. A Documentary is a movie, television, or radio program that provides a factual record or report.
