How to have Creativity in your Writing Skills

When you hear the word ‘creativity’ what comes to mind? How about words like spontaneity, impulsive, hasty, on the spot ideas?

Some reason we associate creativity and not just in writing with the ability to quickly think on the spot. How we often perceive what creativity is limits whether we actually do become creative in our writing. If you want to become a great writer and you think a great writer as someone who can write a lot of articles, then you’ll work towards writing a lot of articles. If a basketball player wants to be great at this chosen sport and he thinks a great basketball player is someone who scores thirty plus points a game, then he’ll try to score thirty plus points a game.

Your limiting views affect how you act. These mental road blockages you erect can often constrain not only your creativity, but how you see creativity.

Hopefully I’ve expanded your views as to what creativity skills actually are. Now I’m going to give you some ideas for capturing this “impulsiveness” I explained about at the start. This advice I give you will be no surprise to you but hopefully my perspective and experience will change your mind about the technique and encourage you to begin using it for improving your creative writing skills.

All this technique is about is writing down your ideas.

From my experiences, I hear people going on about writing thoughts down on a notepad and I think to myself, “I’m not carry around a notepad, how damn geeky” or “it’s just another thing to lug around”. I see it as more of a liability then an asset. Rather, I should say “I use to see it as more of a liability then an asset.

Now, I have ideas for writing that pop into my head and I then quickly whack it down on paper.

When writing I do not come up with the ideas in a single session. I don’t sit down and say that “right now, I’m going to come up with an idea about helping people with depression”.

Carrying a notepad works whether you like it or not, but I like to write on scrap paper with a nearby pen. I do however risk not having the resources available but they have always been available.

My ideas come to me when I’m washing my hands, or when I’m at work. This is because I have a passion, and the thoughts about the subjects I love, I always think about. It is when I am daydreaming about my passion that creativity about possibilities hit me.

Events may spark ideas into you. For example, on a television show I see people arguing. I begin to wander off in my mind and ask myself “why are they arguing? What could be done to stop this?” Then wham. A solution I have never thought of hits me.

You need to capture the impulsiveness we see in creativity and begin write it down on paper. Have a passion and let this explode your ideas. Don’t let your creativity go to waste and start capturing them on paper. Use this simple and definitely overlooked to be able to improve your creative writing skills.

Using E-Books To Create Residual Income

Is there such a thing as an alternative residual income home business opportunity to MLM (Multi Level Marketing) that still produces great money? Yes, there is and they are called e- books. Almost anyone can create an e-book and turn it into a source of residual income. It only takes moderate writing skills and knowledge on a popular topic. This type of residual income business opportunity is a great alternative to MLM businesses because a person has more control over their business.

MLM businesses have been the major source for residual income because they are easy to get started in, and are already proven to be successful. For some people, though, building a home business that can produce a residual income is something they would like to do, but MLM is just not for them. Maybe they like the challenge of building their own residual income opportunity or maybe they cannot find an MLM that they are passionate about. Whatever the reason, it is possible to find a great alternative to MLM that produce comparable income results.

E-books are a residual income opportunity that is still an untapped market. Many people are starting to see how a simple e-book can easily start making them residual income. An e-book is based upon something a person is knowledgeable about. They do not have to be a professional writer, but it helps to understand grammar and spelling. If a person really is not confident in their writing, they can hire someone to ghost write for them at a one time nominal fee. As long as an e-book has useful, informative information, it can and will sell!

Making an e-book into residual income is easier than writing it. Once the book is written, the person just needs to market it. Once word gets out about this exciting new e-book it will begin to sell. It is just like an author of any book selling it. Every copy will make money. Although, unlike an offline book, an e-book is sent to the customer in the form of a computer file so there is no shipping or printing costs, which makes the sale more profitable. If a person grants resell rights to others, they can then set up a simple affiliate program to help sell their book. Their affiliates will market and sell the book, keeping a portion of their sales for themselves. All the author did was take the initial time writing it and now the e-book will earn them money again and again.

E-books are a fun alternative to other residual income home business opportunities, like an MLM. They are an original work that a person develops themselves and gets to earn residual income from selling it on the internet. It is both gratifying and profitable work, so get writing!
