The characters from the novel series I wrote, the Girls In Suits series, were named after my childhood friends. They have been a pillar and support in my life as a writer, likewise with my sister and brother. So, thanks, ladies, for inspiring these strong, independent women. Now I'm writing and sharing with the world. #amwriting #romancewriter #writinginspiration #dailyquote #writing

Growing up, we were made to write a lot of essays on topics that we could either breeze through or have it keep us in class during break. Before I close my eyes, I vividly recall that I do have several red marks on my essays which kept me in the second category - missing break time. An unforgettable topic for me is, "A day you would never forget." I remember I struggled with writing about a particular day and mostly resorted to picking random days just to get my marks. The older I got, I realised that this prompt essay topic was restricting because there were a lot of days I would have loved to write about. One of such was the day I felt as light as a feather. I had given my dad my write-up to read and edit for the first time. The write-up was a poem I had written and submitted for a poetry competition. A year after it had ended, I found myself editing it again 😅 The response I got was everything I needed to remind me that I have it in me to be a writer. He said, "Reading this made me shed tears. I couldn't help but remember this incident. Well done!" ... When I think about International Writer's Day, I am reminded of the journey that led me here. I spent my day immersed in various literary works, from essays to poems. This made me realise that write-ups aren't just beautifully written words but also voices that transport us into worlds we might never be able to experience physically. Through writing, I've discovered not only my voice but also made a connection with the world around me. On this day, I am reminded of the fact that the gift of writing is indeed a blessing to humanity. ... Dear writers, Please, let that write-up out of your drafts because the world deserves to see it. I do hope on writer's day, you held your head high and shoulders even higher as I did. Day: 077/100 #internationalwritersday #writers #linkedin #writing #the100writingmarathon

Granted, romance novels are a special genre of books. But then again: writing and publishing follow the same rules. This recent story of bankruptcy, ethics complaints, and social media may serve as a lesson for all publishers and modern writers' association. Ignoring #diversity #equity and #inclusion will proof fatal. #digitization changed the game. #DEI #selfpublishing #writinggroups #socialmedia #author #writer #bookpublishing https://lnkd.in/e3H5AWv2

What are my aims when I write? I aim to create stories that are emotionally engaging and leave the reader with something to think about long after they've turned the last page. As a writer I love to write about variety of things that catches my interest, like different culture in the world, international affairs, book reviews, historical facts and figures and also about different countries. Apart from writing fictional stories I don't restrict myself to just that, I love to explore, there's so much to learn and be abreast with when you get to explore. When writing fictional stories I'm always looking for ways to add a little twist to my stories, I love it when I read and meets with an unexpected twist, it leaves me with that 'OMG' expression and the feeling lingers for a long time. One of the books that left me with that expression was Verity by Collen Hoover, I love every piece of that book and I am happily recommending it to you if you love books like that, I assure you will definitely love it. What are your aims when you're writing? What are your areas of interest in writing? I would love a book recommendation with similar style!! #writinglife #creativewriter #writingcommunity

You ain't no E.E. Cummings. Put that period where it belongs. At the end of a complete sentence. I mean if you're an academic writer. Copywriters and poets/novelists are the ones with leeway to be creative with periods. Period. #punctuation #academicwriting #proofreadingservices - - - - Hey! I'm Mel.

Rediscover the lost art of writing—where words once held the power of generals. The ancient world knew well the power of the word. In Mesopotamia, the cradle of the first civilization, scribes who mastered the cuneiform script enjoyed the same clout as generals. I feel that power is something that present generations will have to rediscover for themselves. Writing and composition are today generally seen as throwaway skills, of little significance in a world of near-universal literacy. Yet how many can really express themselves well, in words on the page or on the screen? Why do I get so many requests on social media to write e-mails, essays, letters, etc., gratis, by students and others whose education should render them perfectly capable of composing such miscellaneous pieces by themselves? If writing is so easy, why isn’t everyone an author or a poet? #Story #contentwriter #writing #copywriter

Unlock the Power of Your Story Earlier this month, I had the privilege of editing and proofreading Ambassador Emmanuel Udoh's book, The Mystery of Prison. Initially, I hesitated due to time constraints, but I soon realised that refining ideas and elevating voices is my true calling. As an editor, I bridge the gap between fragmented thoughts and transform rough drafts into compelling narratives. I meticulously maintain the author's tone, flow, and emotional depth, whether it's an urgent warning, heartfelt emotion, or engaging dialogue. Beyond editing, I provide motivation and guidance to help authors meet their deadlines and achieve their publishing goals. If you've been putting off writing a book due to time constraints, unclear direction, or fear of imperfection, I challenge you to take the first step. Don't let your ideas and experiences go unshared. Remember, your voice matters, and you deserve to tell your story. The Mystery of Prison inspired me with its courageous exploration of physical and metaphorical imprisonment. With vivid biblical examples, the author illustrated principles for breaking free and turning adversity into triumph. Through the editing process, the manuscript transformed into an engaging and impactful read. Let me help you refine and polish your ideas into a masterpiece. Together, we can create a work that captivates and inspires readers. Don't let your ideas remain untold—start today! #editor #proofreader #writer #publisher

Since Thomson Reuters published my first book in 2008, many lawyers have asked me how I became a published author. My answer is always the same: It all started with Linda Pieczynski. Linda wrote an article published in the DCBA Brief in February of 2007 titled “So, You Want To Be A Writer . . .,” based on her experience as the author of numerous published books, articles, and brochures. (I won’t reproduce the copyrighted article here, but if you’re interested, it’s available on Westlaw.) The article piqued my interest, so I contacted Linda to find out more. She very graciously introduced me to her editor at West, who later became my editor. As I recently looked back at Linda’s article (probably for the first time since 2007), I was amazed at how accurately she describes my experiences as an author. One of her insights especially applies in my case: “Once you get the writing bug, it’s very difficult to stop. If you do write a book and it sells well, the publisher is going to want yearly updates depending upon the nature of the text. Also, a writer is always looking for his or her next project; it’s addictive.” I first read those words 17 years ago this month, not imagining that I would eventually author 22 editions of four different titles (and more to come, I hope). So thank you again, Linda, for helping me get started with a great (and addictive) sideline that I’ve enjoyed for many years! #legalwriting #thomsonreuters #writing #author #writer #legalcontent

I do not like it when people read my writing. This was me at the beginning of my writing journey. I disliked having people read my works because I felt they were inadequate. This feeling worsened after I left secondary school; no one was allowed near my books, which I used to scribble down my personal novel because I did not want to be judged. I saw my friends who were so good at writing articles, and I crawled back into my shell because all I could write were romance novels. My little sister was the only one who read my works, and she could not criticize them. All she could ask was if Angelo would kill Mary and marry Esther. 😂 It was not until my best friend dragged me to Wattpad, and then my university friends dragged me to Medium and Substack, that I began allowing people to read my work and accepting criticism. Today, I am proud of my progress. I have not gotten there yet, but my followers are growing daily, and I am improving simply by putting my work out there. It is Throwback Thursday, and my advice is not to wait until you are perfect. Do it now! ----------------------------------------------------------------- I am Miriam Attih, a law student and a creative writer who is interested in your personal growth and development.
