Write Focus: Names as Writing Tool

Posted on by writer35_bg

What’s In a Name?

Everything.

Shakespeare may have claimed that “a rose by any other word would smell as sweet”. And we know that’s true for skunks … and cooked cabbage.

Yet Shakespeare proved that claim incorrect. His character Tybalt did care that a Montague had attended the Capulet banquet. He was furious that a Montague danced with his cousin Juliet. For that very reason, he challenged Romeo to a duel … and the tragedy rolled from there.

For writers ~

Names are The Most Important Writing Tool.

The Write Focus has three episodes discussing the importance of selecting names.

Episode One, aired on Nov. 11, offers brainstorming techniques and considerations when creatives select names.

Listen Here on Podbean. 

The Podbean app is a free download. Find it in your app store.

Listen** here on YouTube. 

Read the transcript here. 

Episode Two, aired on Nov. 18, explores Pen Names.

Listen Here on Podbean.

Or here on YouTube (read the note below about YouTube )

The transcript is here.

Episode Three, aired today / Nov. 25, presents quick considerations with character names and picking titles for books & series.

Podbean is here

while YouTube is here,

and the Transcript is Here.

 

** I have attempted several times to offer the episodes on YouTube … and I will continue to do so BUT, while the Podbean cast contains no problems, the YouTube file uploads with lots of glitches. Don’t understand why. Still exploring that reason. Podbean has no problems, and the app is a free download.

Write Focus: 6 Stages to Publish

Posted on by writer35_bg

From Seed to Harvest

The Write Focus podcast presents the 6 Stages to Publish, two brief presentations to introduce how you convert a seed of an idea into a tangible book in a reader’s hands.

On October 21 we had the first 3 Stages, under the heading Write the Novel.

Find it here on podbean, or here on youtube, or click this link for the episode transcript.

On November 4 we have the last 3 Stages, Edit / Proof / Publish.

We offer the podbean podcast here, or a simple youtube link, or the episode transcript clicking.

Remember, the episodes run less than 15 minutes, long enough to prep a quick dinner or for to/from commute or a simple fresh-air walk.

Enjoy!

Writers Mistakes and Notta Mistakes

Posted on by writer35_bg

Writers Ink has a podcast!

Yes, we made the jump!

Writers Ink NonFiction is hosting the podcast The Write Focus.

As always, Writers Ink hits the reset button in the autumn months. The Write Focus will post every Wednesday. The first episodes are running under 15 minutes (with one exception), but gradually they will stretch toward 20 to 25 minutes, long enough to prep dinner or commute to/from work or fold laundry or take a walk.

Our two inaugural episodes features 7 Newbie Writer Mistakes and 3 Notta Mistakes. Everything in these two episodes is based on experiences of our own Writers Ink writers!

As the podcast advances, we are BookPodding or BookTubing, depending on your choice of media.

Listen to the podcasts on Podbean or on youtube or read the transcripts on thewritefocus.blogspot.com
