A. You should consider taking a correspondence courses. Writing is something you will either dedicate yourself to or you will not. It is a hard job to have but also has plenty of rewards and I don't mean the money portion. Speaking of money, few writers really make money writing. Some make it big but most just make it. If you enjoy writing how about a journaling instead. On the other hand, if you really want to get serious about writing or at least see if it's something you can really do, start with night classes like your tech centers that offer them. Try creative writing courses such as fiction writing or article writing. BTW article writing is where you want to start when it comes to working your way to becoming a writer. This… [cont.]

What makes the process of writing philosophy papers different than that of other disciplines?
Q. Everyone says that writing about philosophy is a 'different sort of writing', but I'm not entirely sure what it meant by that. Of course, you're writing about philosophical texts and issues, but how is the actual process of writing any different than any other sort of academic writing?
Asked by kai_maguire - Sun Dec 7 17:50:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It is a different sort of writing because, more so than any other branch of the humanities, it is based around (in fact, entirely grounded upon) logic and maths. You cannot (or at least should not) persaude your reader with rhetoric. You must be infinitely careful, consistent and detailed in your definitions. Almost every statement should be reducable to a logical equation. In essence, a philosophy paper is really just an elaborate mathematical equation, with words substituted for numbers. In short, very different to any other discipline.

Should I start out writing a simple book before I begin my dream book series?
Q. I am a new writer and i someday want to write six fantasy books i have been planning for a year now, but I'm afraid I don't have the writing ability for that yet. I don't want to screw up my story, so should i start out by writing a simpler story about a Danish ancestor of mine, in order to gain more experience before I start my big story?

A. I think that the person who said to use the "brainstorming" piece of the writing process is correct. Poor writers have trouble inventing and organizing their ideas. By brainstorming, you will put several topics on the board that are generated by the students. The other thing that is very helpful for these learners is to use graphic organizers that will help organize their ideas, once they have them.

Asked by Peace - Sat Jul 25 00:23:25 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments
A. First you need to ask yourself three things: 1.What musical background (if any) do you have? 2.What kind of song will it be? i.e. Power metal or soft rock? country or techno? 3.What will it say? Not just words but also the feelings expressed through the music like anger or joy. Then you simply go! Sometimes you write the actual music first then do the lyrics later. Or you could write lyrics with a tune in mind and then write it down and edit it later to make it sound better. There are no real rules set in stone. Just make sure it comes from the heart. Good luck!

How is the analytical writing portion of the GRE factored into the overall score?
Q. I just took the GRE and am wondering how scores are calculated. For admissions purposes, do grad schools just look at the combined verbal and quantitative or is it a combination of the writing, verbal and quantitative? The thing throwing me off is that the writing is scored on a scale of 0 to 6, while the verbal and quantitative ranges from 200 to 800. Most grad schools list a minimum score of 1000, but if that's the case, what happens to the writing score? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to all who take the time to answer.

A. I'm not sure what you mean by research. People write in different ways. Some need an outline of the plot, others don't. Try writing an outline. If you can't come up with enough material for a book, then you need to do more thinking. There's research on writing, which can help you avoid getting halfway through your book and discovering you don't have enough plot or compelling characters. There's also books on historical details, technical details. If you're writing a crime novel, you need to have some idea of what police procedures are. Nothing is more stupid than a book with a hero/heroine with NO experience trying to chase down a murderer WITHOUT ever bothering to call the police.

What do you think separates good writing from bad writing?
Q. The amount of detail used? Being able to identify with the characters? Real emotions? Creative wording? I don't mean what makes a story interesting (though many could say that the writing makes the story, and that's true, for the most part.) I mean the actual writing.

A. Always set up interviews in advance and conduct the interviews. You might not need the interview this time, but the time you put in can be useful later on. Stating you have interviewed this list of experts on this topic is helpful. It shows you are prepared and serious. It will save the publisher time and effort. Give the name of the person interviewed, their job position and the date of the interview. Some fields change quickly and new breakthroughs can make an old interview useless. If the publisher shows any interest, ask them if there are any other interviews they want done for the piece. Calculate expenses for the interviews already done and any additional interviews the publisher requires.

A. What is your writing area set up like? Is it next to the computer or are you using a computer? Television within sight? Turn the place you write into an area of little no no access to said distractions. The basement, attic, wash room. Hell even sit in the bathtub and just have at it. That's what I do.

How does story telling techniques in fiction writing make non-fiction writing more imaginative?
Q. I am writing a media essay and I need help on how I could answer this: How does story telling techniques in fiction writing make non-fiction writing more imaginative? Thanks, I will choose the best answer!

A. Non-fiction is limited to reality. The story telling techniques in fiction are not limited to what happened, but what the author wants to happen. A toaster can sing (personification), a man can walk 500miles in an hour (hyperbole), an annoying friend that follows you everywhere is a lost puppy (metaphor), etc. Non-fiction can be creative, memoir especially, but it is limited to the actions and thoughts of everyday life, not the possibilities.

A. well maybe you should write different types of letter, because you are not sure, but i'm thinking more like memos, or a letter to a client on behave of your boss, or emails inviting employees to a semminar or special events. they probably just want to see how professional you are and whats your wrting style. my advice: it depends on where you are applying, write formal letters since you are applying to a big company, keep it very professional. also you could try contacting thier Human resources office. good luck
