5 Secrets to Succeeding in Blogging

written by Bryan Hutchinson

I get a lot of inquiries about blogging. Most people ask me to visit their blog and tell them how they can improve it.

I Am A Writer

I Am A Writer

written by Bryan Hutchinson
This is a guest post by my wife, Joan Faith. She is an award winning poet. I feel very fortunate that the contest Joan and I came up with for Positive Writer – You Are A Writer – When did you know? – inspired her to write this guest post. I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to let her know in the comments. This is not an entry. Joan will be helping me choose the winners.

Am I a writer?

Yes, although incidentally in my view…

Writing Contest: You Are A Writer!

Writing Contest: You Are A Writer!

written by Bryan Hutchinson

When did you know?

What led you to becoming a writer? What did you go through to get here? Do you remember the moment you finally realized that’s what you are? Or, did it come to you gradually? How did you feel when you finally realized it? Were you elated, or doubtful, or both?

Those are the type of things I’d love to know about you and when you finally knew: You Are A Writer.

So much so that I have created Positive Writer’s First Writing Contest!

You’re Not Satisfied (and it’s time to do something about it) Achieve Your Dream

You’re Not Satisfied (and it’s time to do something about it) Achieve Your Dream

written by Bryan Hutchinson

You’re not satisfied. You’re not. You know it and I know it. You want more, you want better – you want to strive and reach, and you want to make it.

Whatever making it is for you, perhaps it is writing a book and having it in displayed in a bookstore window or painting a beautiful picture to be displayed in an art gallery.

There’s only one way to do it. There’s only one way to make it happen.

Tap Into This To Stand Out From The Crowd As A Writer

written by Bryan Hutchinson

All the greats use it. It is indispensable.

It is so critical to success and achieving greatness that if you’re not using it then you’ll never reach as high as you could if you did use it.

Clear the Clutter to Overcome Writer’s Block and (or) Become Your Most Creative

Clear the Clutter to Overcome Writer’s Block and (or) Become Your Most Creative

written by Bryan Hutchinson

Have you ever heard someone use the phrase, organized chaos?

That is how I used to refer to the clutter on my desk. But, really, if I am honest, it was disorganized chaos and it drove me crazy.

I didn’t realize clutter was the cause of so much stress, anxiety and frustration, which naturally resulted in sapping my creativity and all too often caused writer’s block.
