Writing Tips: Think Out Of The Box! by bookrep: 9:03am On Sep 07, 2011 |
Writing Tips: Think Out Of The Box! Since the inception of our publishing arm at Emotion Press, several writers have submitted manuscripts. I have been given the opportunity to evaluate some of them. In this session, I would like to ruminate on one of the major problem literally fighting most writers.Just like Nolly wood where scripting cliches are the order of the day, most writers want to write as Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie and Wole Soyinka. Thinking out of the box is quite essential as a 21st century writer. Most stories you would be carving has been written before. The difference you would make will be your ability to write your own story your own way. Chimamanda Adichie and Chinua Achebe don't think the same way because they do not come from the same background nor had the same experiences; you and I don't think the same way. We are two original and creatively blessed entities. I am challenging you today to think out of the box. As you put pen on pen, think out of the box. Avoid cliches. Be like yourself. Be original.Create new things. Emotion Press wants to publish a quarterly literary magazine, you are invited to submit your entries. Visit Omojojolobooks./omojojolomagazine. You may have a unique story for publication? We want to publish you - omojojolobooks./submitmanuscript. Catch you. |
