For writers and people on the verge of being writers

Yes, I believe my collection, Power Outside The Matrix can help people who want to become writers or much better writers.

I’ve been around the block 10,000 times. I’ve been writing for 67 years.

I know something about it.

I also know something about the people who want to write, who want to do it outside the mainstream.

They aren’t going to journalism school. They aren’t going to jump in that river and learn that system.

This is good, because there is no system—there are only artificial pretenses of systems.

The first point is: You’re going to put something on the page that you like to see, and readers are going to engage with. Something that pulls them out of what they ordinarily expect. Which shows you’re different. You’re not out to bore them to death. This is a major plus. For you and your readers.

“He’s not trying to put me to sleep. I’m on his side already.”

Clue: If you bore readers, you’re boring yourself. And that’s fatal.

In fact, one of the reasons a person becomes a writer is to “un-bore” himself. He wants to feel alive.

This is good. This is not a sin.

So put something on the page that makes you feel alive.

That’s the test. That’s ambition in the right direction.

I could say more. In fact, I have. If you want to read it, go here.

    OH ! THAT’S JUST GREAT !!!

    Mr. Fancy Pants-Mr. Writer,

    I happened to have a tremendous friend who worked his way through college earning money the best way he knew how. But his dream always was to become a writer. But that dream was never realized because he was too busy working.

    There once was a man, Rappoport
    Exhorting creative dreamers a lort
    Stayed on message for decades
    Exposing rulers’ charades
    And sacred-cow murder for sport

    Sing the song of your soul.
