Hello again my name's Peter welcome
along to writers life and coming up
today more tips and advice for you this
time
stop being an ordinary writer when it
comes to writing being ordinary is not
an option with all the competition out
there if you don't do something
different something extraordinary that
makes people sit up pay attention and
want to find out more your writing will
become lost in a sea of other voices all
competing to be heard so what does being
extraordinary mean beyond what is
ordinary or usual be highly exceptional
and remarkable that's the actual
definition but applying that to one's
writing it's a little more complicated
many of us shy away from the title of
writer
despite writing productively for years
we can often feel unworthy of such lofty
accolade
and feel only when we've sold a billion
books or become a number one bestseller
that we can be as arrogant as to call
ourselves such being a writer can also
conjure up visions of a tragic or wildly
adventurous life one that's entirely
unlike the typical nine-to-five working
day family dinners doing mundane chores
and a Saturday morning trip to Starbucks
being the most exciting thing that
happens to you all week leading an
ordinary life however doesn't mean that
you're right II can't be extraordinary
most great writers didn't start that way
and had pretty mundane jobs before they
were able to write full-time
in a way see what's extraordinary about
the ordinary is what makes successful
writers stand out there are a few whose
life seemed to take unbelievable
jaw-dropping twists and turns however
for many of us daily life is pretty
monotonous not necessarily in a bad way
but we all have our little routines the
thing that's great about that is that
our readers do too and readers like to
be able to relate that doesn't mean that
your story should include painstaking
details of everything that happens to
your characters from the moments they
wake up to the moment they fall asleep
but rather including details of ordinary
daily life can help to create a
believable character and a believable
world however writers must choose their
words to make the ordinary interesting
they must find Beauty or tragedy in the
simplest of the things the way someone
sweeps the floor unknowing look an
ordered house these images can be
beautifully conveyed and tell the reader
so much more than what they are saying
on the surface writers must also find
the truth the essence of things they
must be able to get back to the very
purest form of an emotion they must be
able to make connections and convey
thoughts and feelings in a way that
draws readers in and helps them to feel
inextricably linked to the characters
and their journeys within the story of
course being an extraordinary writer
isn't just about having the ability to
take what is ordinary and making
extraordinary it's also about the
dedication to
craft itself a successful writer is
exceptional simply because of the time
effort and energy they put into their
world truly committing to the art
takes courage determination and a pretty
thick skin
so writers are already highly remarkable
creatures just because of the nature of
what they do so to be extraordinary you
don't have to discount the life you have
however ordinary it may seem there's
beauty and greatness and Wonder in the
everyday and it is a remarkable writer
that can transform these seemingly
ordinary pieces of life into something
that is truthful and beautiful and
utterly captivating and don't forget if
it's struggling to write or finish your
book why not try our free writers
toolkit it'll certainly help you with it

procrastination get organized

finally get your book published to get
