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 Are A Writer – Writing Contest

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.

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.

Why You Are Not At Your Most Creative (and how to be)

written by Bryan Hutchinson

There’s a self-limiting myth that I used to believe. It’s a myth books, movies, and songs have propagated for the longest time.

The myth: To be your most creative self you must suffer considerably ever day, you must be sad, or, better yet, depressed, and you should never, ever be happy.

If you fell for this myth, as so many before you have, and you’re stuck, wondering why you are not as creative as you know you can be, here’s why:

Simple Tips for Hiring a Book Cover Designer

written by Bryan Hutchinson

Are you in the market for a book cover design? If you are, this post could save you time, frustration, and MONEY!

My new book “Happy Every Day” (coming soon) was designed by the wonderful, easy to work with Ana at books-design.com. I love the final product, but to get it I had to pay more than the original quote.

Next time I won’t make the same mistakes and I will hire Ana again…

How to Rise Above the Struggle of Becoming a Creative Professional

written by Bryan Hutchinson

You’re an artist. You know it and I know it. You didn’t need me to affirm that you are an artist. Right?

However, are you a professional?

Perhaps the question would be better phrased: Do you consider yourself a professional? Your answer matters.

Every Writer Needs A Little (or a lot) of Inspiration, So Here You Go

written by Bryan Hutchinson

It’s true, every writer needs a little inspiration every now and then, and some of us need a lot of inspiration all of the time.

But sometimes inspiration can be just as hard to come by as words are to write.

I’ve got good news for you, thanks to Dana Sitar it doesn’t have to be that way.
